Day 40:  Practiced different clubs with very slow movements just trying to get the motions right and then slowly picked up the pace while trying to keep the perfect positions. 

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

Day 628, July 23, 2024

Worked for 90 minutes downtown with the HackMotion, and then used it on a student later in the day. Full trust in it.

Was flushing it in the end. Really need the right wrist to be in a good spot at the top.

Day 82 (23 Jul 24) - played in the monthly church men’s 9hole superball this evening.  Good mix of skill sets, allowed for playing from not the usual approach shot lengths.  Love mixing it up.

Day 213: 7/23/24

Putting through 50 mm gates. Rough session. While recuperating from tennis elbow I have been putting with a prayer grip. Instantly reverted to claw when I played on Saturday (gaining 3.25 strokes putting vs. my handicap) but a little off in indoor practice.

Day 100:

Full swing rehearsals and some short game practice.

Day 196 - Final round in Myrtle at Arrowhead. Another nice course, another day struggling on the greens. Get me home and away from this Bermuda. 


Day 20, driving range session. Went back to basics a bit with my priority piece.

Putting through 50 mm gates and slow motion swings with a sand wedge.

Day 83 (24 Jul 24) - an easy session with the 58.  Focused on the short pitches and not trying to “help” the ball in the air, i.e. trying to scoop it up.  Kept the max shot length to about 30yds.

Day 197 - Long travel day thanks to delayed/missed flights, but made sure to get some mirror swings in to work on my priority piece. More specifically, working on the angle of my trail shin in the backswing. 


Day 8: did a stack session.

Day 21, worked on short game and putting. Trying to make the shortest backswing possible with pitching. Less wrist hinge.

Day 84 (25 Jul 24) - backyard work with 7i and hard foam balls - focused on reading target line to target point (about 70 yds out - the neighbor’s yard).  Was bit of a push the ball day, but a very consistent swing as all the shots finished within a 10yd radius.

    • I agree in general. The one way in which the viewer will notice the pace of play is just that "it's been an hour and Nelly Korda or Scottie Scheffler have only played four holes." Or if for some reason they show a lot of shots of players just standing around when they could be showing golf shots. But I think Andy Johnson said it most recently/best, playing fast is a skill, too. I would love for pro golfers to play faster. You'd see the players you want to see hit more shots in the same time than they do now. So I don't disagree with the pace of play stuff, and hope they can find ways to do it. Heck, the LPGA should leap at the chance to differentiate itself in this way, IMO. So: I stand by what I said in that the TV viewer really doesn't notice much about pace of play. It's rare when they do. I support increasing the pace of play wholeheartedly. But my top five reasons don't include TV ratings or viewership.
    • I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play. 
    • This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online. 
    • Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.
    • Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
