Day 26: March 20, 2024

Got to the range today to hit balls. Worked on my priority pieces first. Then worked through the bag hitting each club while working on my priority pieces. I finished by hitting targets with my wedges.Β 

Later I got some mirror work in and my overspeed training session.Β

Day 27: 3/21/2024

I had a great practice session today. Got to the range on lunch. I worked 3 things. One piece of my backswing, one piece with my hips/legs/feet thing, and on my hand path (anyone who knows me knows hand path is a never ending battle for me).

Anyhow, I started with some block practice and a 6 iron. 6 balls working on the first thing, then 6 balls working on the second thing, then finally 6 balls working on the third thing.Β 

Then I did some random practice. Chose a club at random and worked on 1 of the 3 things using only one ball. Then I used one ball for the other, and then the other. After that I'd choose a different club at random, rinse and repeat.Β 

As I was leaving the range, one of my range pals challenged me to a closest to the target contest. We hit balls at a half dozen targets from about 65 yards out to 125 yards.Β

Day 7

@iacasΒ sent me an Evolvr tip to help shorten the backswing. Worked on that with a swimmer floatie. Also trying to close the face with wrist angles and still really need to figure out how I’m going to do that well without reinjuring my tfcc.Β 
Β 

then I plugged in my skytrak for the first time in a while. After a lot of misreads I got it working and think I’ll have an approach to my big swinging hook on the course if it’s not better by the time I’m able to play.Β

Day 509, March 23, 2024

Didn't post but practiced for two hours yesterday morning. Finished today after some juniors had hit on the sim by hitting for 20 minutes myself. Mostly downswing, but backswing can continue to be shorter and cuppy right wrist.
