Day 482, February 24, 2024

45 minutes on slower downswings after JEP and a lesson. I can't let the grip get too slack or the results aren't quite as good, even though I'm going slower. The shaft tends to stand up a little bit in my pseudo-transition.

Day 74 (25 Feb 24) - Grabbed the TA 845s PW (48*) and the Indi GW (50*) for some closest to the pin backyard pitching fun.  Hit from 15 yds, 20 yds and 25+ yds.  Enjoyed the difference in technology of late 80’s vs 2023….better spin with the 50, really nice roll out with the 48….

Day 231: Range day! Hit balls for about 45 minutes - working on downswing stuff. Filmed a good amount, too. Still doing better with slow swings and not getting there with full-speed swings. Finished off with 10 driver swings. Not going full out with driver was really good. Going full out was a little more wild, but that's okay. Then went and putted for another 45 minutes or so. Filmed a bit there to check on some things. Productive day!

Day 55 - Some backswing and transition work. If I get the backswing right, my hips don’t turn. If I get the transition right, my backswing is abbreviated. Need to join the two together.

Day 484, February 26, 2024

90 minutes with @DrizZzY this morning. Getting near the end of the slow downswing work. Going to start adding speed to it in March.

Day 75 (26 Feb 24) - At grandson’s request, we got the DivotBoard out this afternoon.  It’s fun working with him on making solid shots.  The board really shows when you fat or thin it, even got the missus to hit a few with her 7i.  Really like it when it’s a family drill session.

Day 4: 2/6/2024

I got a lot in today. I did my overspeed training. I also worked on my backswing in the basement mirror and then raced out to the garage to hit some balls into the net, trying to emulate the backswing stuff I did in the mirror. 

Later I played18 holes on a golf simulator. Which was fun.

    • Um... The Browns? ... hmm.... I really don't have any issue at all with the Shedeur Sanders pick in Round 5. If he doesn't work out, fine. It's a fifth round pick on a quarterback, no big deal.  What I'm fascinated by is the Dillon Gabriel pick in round 3. I heard a lot of folks said that Gabriel might not get drafted at all. Seems like they could have waited and still got him if they wanted him.  What I'm already sick of is people saying the Browns have 5 quarterbacks. They don't. Watson won't play in 2025 due to his torn Achilles. Ideally, he won't play in 2026. But they can't cut him. They will actually have to pay more against the cap if they cut him than if they just lock him in somebody's basement and forget about him. Think about this. In the last two seasons The Browns have had 6 games where their QB has thrown for over 300 yards. ... None of them were named Deshaun Watson. Three 300 yard games by geriatric Joe Flacco and 3 by mentally unstable, Jameis Winston. ... Including Winston's almost 500 yards against the Broncos.  Deshaun Watson sticks out loud! I'm hoping he never suits up again. The Browns can just pay him for the next 3 years and then maybe he'll go away. (73 Mil against the cap in both 2025 and 2026. And then 27 Mil against the cap in 2027... sheesh.)  So, The Browns currently have 4 quarterbacks, not 5. I'm not sure any of them are worth a pile of rat droppings. But if not, they got 2 first round picks next year. Then in 2028 Watson's contract will finally come off the books and they can stop paying that waste of a uniform and move forward with whom ever ends up behind center.

    • Day 26 - Putting work, mostly focused on setup and getting my eyes over the ball more. 
    • Day 280: played 18. Played pretty well, especially on the back 9. Won the four ball match 4 and 2, after being 2 down through 10. 
    • Day 208 - 2025-04-26 Played Pinehurst No. 8… on the simulator. I wasn't a fan and likely won't play it in real life.
