Practiced a bit while waiting to play Augusta National Georgia Golf Club. Light day. Hip much better. Stretching it helps.

Day 279: went to the range with my daughter. Hit a few balls, going slowly with feels for my hip rotation. Then went and putted with her on the green. Not my best practice, but a lot of fun!

Day 122 (14 Apr 24) - Masters Sunday - Took a few minutes to work with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard, focusing on ball position at setup.  More work to be done, progress in happening due to the consistency of the shot dispersion (circle tightening up - side to side and back to front) - given limited flight balls may not fly exactly like regular balls.

Day 531, April 15, 2024

Practiced hitting 8I to a pretty well-known hole here…

It reset to aiming at the flag every time, so I just started aiming myself to the left and hitting it that way. That's why the path says -5.6. It was probably a path of about -2° to my actual target line, maybe a little less.

8I was a bit much, though. I was gripping down a little in the end.

Day 51: 4/15/2024

Played 9 holes for the first day of golf league tonight. It wasn't that pretty. Driver was a bit wild early. Settled down later. Left putts not only short but really short for the first 7 holes. It was nice to actually play golf for the first time this year. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 5:

Did indoor backswing practice, trying to add some flow in as I’m sensing I’ve lost athletic feeling with current moves.

Day 532, April 16, 2024

Played 18 holes at WW with @DrizZzY. It was productive, even if the first few holes (we really should warm up by at least making ONE swing 😄) weren't.

      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.
