Day 56: 4/19/2024

Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.Β 

I spent time on the indoor putting mat.Β 

And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.Β 

I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.Β 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs.Β 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.Β

Day 1- Missed a couple of days lately so I'll start over. Slow, short swings with short practice club.Β

Day 536, April 20, 2024

Full swing work for a bit. Not my best today. Not as good as the outdoor session. Improved once I put some things down. I rely a bit too much indoors on the matsΒ on letting you hit it fat, so I don't use the lower body to get forward the right way sometimes.

Day 128 (20 Apr 24)Β - Hit a driving range near where grandson was to play baseball today. Β Spent time working thru the bag, staying consistent with pre-shot routine. Β There were a number of visual targets (old bus, bass boat, airplaneΒ carcass, etc)…used the range finder to shoot accurate distances and focused on trying place my shots left, right, short and long. Β Overall a good session through the bag. Β Yes, made my grandson’s game with loads of time to spare.

Day 38.Β Got a good chunk of time in today. First technique work where I realized my path improves a lot when I relax and take the tension out of my shoulders. Then I have to remember to close the face. Both of these become more challenging when I’m physically tired.Β 
Β 

Followed that with Stack session. Finished my program and will post my progression once I’m done the follow up test in a couple of days. Will need to decide what program to do next - I like the shorter sessions especially during the season.Β

Day 10:

Played 18 at an away course. Managed to turn a round with 5 penalty strokes into an 83. Two birdies and a 39 on the back-9 helped. Had a couple useful observations that I’m going to explore in practice this week.Β
