Day 11, some indoor backswing and slow motion downswing work while I am doing my 4 loads of laundry. It's not good when you have no clean bath towels remaining.

Day 618, July 13, 2024

Played nine holes of irons only and did a lot of short game work too. Hit a few extra shots here and there to practice. Took over two hours with nobody in front of us. Also practiced on the GCQuad at Golf Evolution before that.

Day 72 (13 Jul 24) - hit a few hard foam balls with the Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scot 7i (still love the feel and balance these irons) - working on takeaway and delivering thru the ball, not to the ball.  Slowed tempo a little as well.  Total of about 15 shots over a half hour.

Day 187 - Played 18 at a new course. Shot well on the front, mediocre on the back. Driver wasn’t as sharp on the back, leaving me with some tough approach shots. 


Day 93:

Played a quick 9 before heading off on vacation for a few days. Heavy fog, so just made easy swings trying to keep the ball "findable". Ended up shooting 3 over for 9, so nice way to start my vacation.

Day 12, working on short game. Trying to be less wrist hinge-y. It’s a bit better. Putting is a mess.

Worked downtown at Golf Evolution this morning with @cedrictheo before heading to the range for further lessons. Same stuff. Got a recording, too.

Day 73 (14 Jul 24) - Hit some hard foam balls in the backyard with driver focused on smoothly coming into the ball (not over swinging - I tend to try to kill the ball), followed with return shots into the yard with the 6i same focus - staying smooth into the ball.

    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
    • Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.  
    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
