Day 1:

My back yard is finally dry for the most part after a very wet winter (hope we're through the majority of rains). I was able to get outside the last two weekends and do a bunch of yard cleanup and tidying, including setting up my practice area. Bought a Net Return to replace a Spornia net which is completely falling apart (which replaced a Rukket that didn't fair any better). I am looking into new mats as well, as mine is worn out where it matters.

Been practicing intermittently when weather allows, but haven't been able to commit significant amount of time to work on priority pieces from lessons. As a result my golf game is going the wrong direction, so I am going to try to get a practice streak going again.

Today I worked indoors on a backswing piece from my lesson 2 months ago, and then worked outdoors on a palmar flexion transition piece from my lesson last month hitting Almost Golf balls with a 5-iron. Don't have my next lesson scheduled, so plan is to put in 2-3 weeks of work on the current piece before seeing teacher again. Will also get back into The Stack and Fit for Golf starting next week.

Day 106: 4/11/24 Masters First Round 

Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session 22/24 for this program.

2 mph shy of my high speed. Had to practice in the garage due to rain. Footing was a little slippery at times. Still had some high swing speeds, but was inconsistent with 195 grams with 7 mph variance in speed.

Day 119 (11 Apr 24) -  Played 18 at Minnesott today - what started off let’s have fun with gusting winds with the threat of rain to gusting winds and steady rain.  As I made the turn on the back nine, I had thought about calling it but stuck it out.  Actually it was a good exercise in persevering, just not something I would do every day.

Day 49: 4/12/2024

Got to the range today and worked on my priority pieces first. 
Then I "played" my course on the driving range. Irons were looking solid. The driver was a bit sloppy.

    • Day 59: just a short bit of mirror work and foam balls. Working on the leg stuff throughout the swing. 
    • Day 601 - 2026-05-25 Short-ish day with only some later Skillest lessons, so I stayed after and got some swings in. GEARS Hybrid was set up for a lefty, so… not that. 🙂 
    • Day 21, May 25.  Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson.  I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus.  Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room;  I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total.  That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds!  But these were all with a 6-iron.
    • Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. 
    • Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving.  Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches.  Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact.
