Day 14. 
Trying to stop that pull hook. This may take a while and I had limited success today. With courses here opening soon I then spent some time practicing short game distances inside 100y.

Day 34: 3/29/2024

So, I forgot to post yesterday. 
Today was a mirror day. First putting mirror. I used the 50mm gate a lot and the perfect putt. 
Then the big basement mirrors. Backswing work. Most of it without a club. But I also got some use out of the piece of pvc and the club across the shoulders. I finished with a 7 iron. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Grip it slightly open and twist it a little bit less.

Day 86 - Played 18 on an indoor sim. Had some hook issues, but changing my driver grip seemed to fix that. I feel good knowing I have a fix if this pops up on the course.

Day 15. More of the same practice as yesterday but slightly more success trying to incorporate the above. Slow progress is still progress! 
 

I also used premium golf balls with my skytrak for the first time and boy what a difference it made.
