Day 198: Spent about 30 minutes in my garage, hitting balls into my net. Filmed a bunch, trying to see how my feels are translating into my swing. Unfortunately, it looks like I've regressed with my priority piece. Need to focus more on going slower and making sure I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing. When I went to shorter swings really exaggerating the feels, it looked better, so that's good. Need to be more focused on doing and translating that into the full swing instead of just working on feels in the full swing.

Day 45 (23 Jan 24) - Played Harbour Pointe with son this morning.  Had a quiet, unhurried round as we were the first out on the front.  Course was in decent shape, greens were soft, somewhat squishy when we started - began to firm up some by the time we made it to 15.  Good putting day - some really great lags from pretty good distances (80' - 90' - can we say back pin, front of green with ball - all were within a decent one putt finish).  Son had some tremendous drives and approaches - a good day that started temp wise in the 30's and finished in the 50's.

Day 24: 1/23/2024

Got a lot of good golf work in today.

Practice putting on the indoor mat. Work on bead with the Covid-19 30-day challenge Day 15. 

Later went to the range and worked on my priority pieces for a while. 
Finished at the driving range trying to hit targets with my 60 degree wedge. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Not quite as much time as I thought I'd have today, but a little time spent with a stick at my feet feeling the 45° out and up thing.

Day 25 1/24/2024

Every so often I like to take a day at the range and spend the day working on where instead of how. 
Today was that day. After warming up I spent the entire time aiming at targets on the range. 

I was even able to have a friendly competition with another gentleman as we played closest to the pin with a number of targets.

Worked downtown with @DrizZzY for 45 minutes of actual work today (and 75 minutes of BSing and checking out the Ai Smoke). Also got a little work in between lessons after he'd left. Backswing, backswing, backswing.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
