Day 586, June 11, 2024

Caddied all day yesterday (36), so hit a few pitch shots back to my player when he was warming up. That was over five minutes so I'm counting it.

Today… I played 18 holes at Whispering Woods. Front nine was exaggerated practice (hit some REALLY spectacular shots), back nine was really really solid playing with two birdies and almost nothing else that could have caused a bogey.

Day 3:  Spent a couple hours at top golf.  The woman’s pw was so short and heavy compared to mine, weird.  

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

Day 89. Did a Stack Cruiser session after a long break and crushed my previous best. Have been working out with kettlebells recently and that plus the evolvr technique work have really helped I guess. 

Then I did some technique practice. Went back to practicing setup using feels from the 30 day practice plan day 22 videos. Felt so much more comfortable over the ball.

Day 60:

Lesson today, and then spent some time later working on piece from lesson (stop dumping the clubface early). This one feels hard, and is going to force me to also  work harder on grip, which can get real palmy in lead hand.

Day 4:  Putting and practice with my irons this morning at home.  

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


Day 90. Played 9 before work. Speed did not translate onto the course. Learned a couple things about my direction though and had fun. Hit a couple good shots and a few not so good. Need to learn to save the doubles and triples and turn them into bogeys.

Day 42 (12 Jun 24) - The resort where we’re staying has a sweet 9 hole putt putt course…what better way than to roll the ball on some decent artificial greens that are not greased lightning but also not humpy lumpy. Able to work on pace and lagging of the ball to the cup with decent success …..and still lost to my grandson by 3 strokes….such is life!

Chipping with a variety of clubs trying to simulate Pinehurst. Had a lot of fun.

Day 61:

Worked on priority piece using 5-iron with half swings, making sure grip was good before each swing. Lots of rehearsals. Initially ball starting right and curving right, so once I’m comfortable with the concept I’ll need to incorporate face/path work to get ball flight on target.

Played 18 holes with Sculley. Some really good shots in there. I'm doing the right things, and it's coming together.

    • Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill. 
    • Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff. 
    • Day 60 - 2024-11-29 Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.
    • First time playing this game, Spanish is my native language. It was impossible for me. After 4 worlds I run out of worlds that have the letters I've already found that can be combined with the remaining letters.. just repeated the 4th world to knew the answer. I know the world but it never came to my mind.
