Day 13: Early morning putting practice in the garage 

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

Day 596, June 21, 2024

18 holes at Whispering Woods with @DrizZzY. I'm now -5 the last five times I've played #15. Today I had a 5I in and put it hole high. 😛 Sheesh!

No movement on any of the needed birdie holes. Lots of tap-in pars after opportunities.

Day 1. Took a couple days off for the hip. Worked on setup, backswing and transition at the gym. Hopefully I’m close to being able to swing.

Day 99. Played 18. Didn’t spray the ball everywhere and played to my handicap. Happy with results overall because golf is hard.

Day 50 (21 Jun 24) - No pounding balls in the backyard or rounds played today as we are taking a couple days at the beach.  Did get in some drill work doing the slapshot drill while cooking on the grill.  Used the drill to work on weight shift onto the lead foot as part of the slap shot swing motion.

Day 167 - Spent some time hitting balls, trying to work on a swing without a million swing thoughts. Match tomorrow, we’ll see how it goes.

Day 14:  Chippity dippity practice in the back yard (that’s what I call my pitching wedge).  

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

Day 51 (22 Jun 24) - very similar to yesterday’s drill of working on the slap shot drill and focused weight shift.  Only today I wasn’t grilling anything….just working on the weight shift and the feel of weight moving onto the lead foot (also with not club, no ball I didn’t have a case of “where-did-the-ball-go-itis)….

Day 597, June 22, 2024

Got some time in before lessons this morning at about 7:15. It's warm, but it's a little bit less warm first thing in the morning. I'll do the same tomorrow before a lesson at 9…

Day 71:

Hit 20 balls with 6-iron, 9-3 swing really focused on priority piece.

Then 20 balls full swing, keeping priority piece in mind, but trying to stay athletic.

Finished with 20 balls each chipping/pitching switching technique every 5 balls.

Day 72:

Played 18. Happy with how I'm hitting the ball when I execute well, but still too many poor execution shots where I'm not trusting the move enough.

    • Three great shots from McIlroy's group (Smith and the US Am Champ) on 12.  The amateur won closest to the pin, although I doubt the group had a bet going.
    • I thought complaining about Fleetwood's appearance was my schtick   For real though, I agree with you, and when I see that, especially in a major, I'm confused.  When I play in a multi-day event at my club, I plan my clothing in advance because I want to look my best.   If no one else, their clothing sponsors should do this for them.  I think Nike used to do this with their stable -- I used to look forward to seeing their posts on the Facebook before majors to see how Tiger and Anthony Kim and friends would be dressed. Meanwhile, Jason Day is dressed fairly blandly today.  Who saw that coming?
    • The hell is Thomas Fleetwood wearing? He looks like a divorced dad from 1998. Even the shoes are hideous 
    • I was wondering this and haven't seen it on today's broadcast OR yesterday's, but apparently Cabrera did show up.  He currently has the third highest score for the week and is playing his last hole of this year's event.  I'm not particularly keen to see him, but I was wondering if he was present, and he seems to be.
    • Hatton hit 18 GIR.  That's incredible.   Rory's tee shot on #8 reminds me of a TV show, Get Smart, that I enjoyed watching as a kid.  The protagonist would often say "missed me by that much."  Rory missed avoiding the bunker by that much.
