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 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 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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
