Hit 20 balls with 6-iron, working with new feel. Seemed to work okay, but start line is a little more right than I’d like to see.

Did pitching.chipping practice, focusing on good contact.

Putted in home office for 20 min using my dog’s Kong as a target.

Day 23:  Hit a couple of buckets at the range.  Not sure why I hit my irons much better at home into the net than at the range and hit my driver better on the range than the course.  Played my second 9 hole round this evening and shaved off 7 strokes from my first game and had fewer do overs.  I even had a one putt if that’s called anything from about 15 feet.  Played the last two holes through the sprinklers but I don’t mind. 

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

Day 152: 5/27/24 Memorial Day

Practiced prior to round today. I have been using Dan Grieve as my guide to short game and had a great warmup holing out chips and bunker shots. On the course made a nifty up and down from a plugged lie in the waste bunker on 3 and a good pitch on 5 helped save par. Then the deluge came.🤦🏻‍♂️

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls.
