Day 482, February 24, 2024

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

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.Β

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

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.Β 

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