Day 644, August 8, 2024

Wrist (and thumb) were a little sore, still, so took it light and only practiced at < 90 MPH (barely, ha!) for about 12 minutes.

Day 13:  Played 9 from the tips and added 6 strokes to my best score.  I think I’ll continue to hit from there going forward. 

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

Day 645, August 9, 2024

Practiced for 45 minutes. Actually got up to 96 MPH with the 6I. Wrist still isn't 100%, thumb is close, but… I don't think I'm doing any other damage.

Day 99 (9 Aug 24)  -  More putting today (via the hall obstacle course created by my grandson)…talking about working on the start line - 1st gate is 4” at 10’, 2nd is under the skateboard about 20’, 3rd narrowly misses the football around 30’ to the auto return cup at the end of the hall - on a hardwood floor (stimp off the scale fast).  Best I could do was an easy paced two-putt.  Really was a tough drill focusing on starting well. Here’s a photo of the trek: IMG_8385.thumb.jpeg.0dc05a1cfb95cf8943ce291f5d0f3505.jpeg

Day 14:  My sons set up some drills for me in the garage.  I didn’t pass his tests. 

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

Day 23: range day. Filmed my swing, worked on getting my hands down and making sure my hands are more vertical in the backswing. After that, did some random practice with driver and wedges. Then spent about 45 minutes at the short game area, working on chipping. Filmed a bit of that, too. Good practice day.

Day 1:

Been under the weather, haven’t remembered to post.

Worked on priority piece with 7-iron. Backswing piece is like 80% engrained.

Day 100 (10 Aug 24) - Finally a course day, of course it was CPO (cart path only)….still some much needed time across the bag.  As I told the course pro, it was a try to keep it as close as possible to the cart path as possible - which I failed more times than not.  Still a solid round - 41 front/41 back.  No major blow-ups except for the dbl on 11  that went something like this - tee shot hit the overhanging tree by the cart path and forced a layup that led to a third flew about 10 yds long and just off the green that led to a pitch that came up short and two putt dbl….recovered nicely with back to back pars.  Was a fun and challenging kind of day where nGIR was the rule and the wedges and putter delivered - coarse management at its finer moments.

Day 213 - Had a team match today, we lost 2&1. I wasn’t putting or striking the ball particularly well, but still fairly happy with my score. Hip is killing me, so I need to figure that out.

Day 646, August 10, 2024

HackMotion work… without hitting a ball. But it'll still detect a downswing. 🙂

    • Flying into ATL on Sept 11 (Thu), early, leaving Sept 15 (Mon), late. Dates are fixed. Trying to hit the best RTJ Trail stops without spending half the trip in the car.   Plan: Thu: Grand National (Lake or Links) Fri: GN AM, then drive to Capitol Hill, play Senator Sat: Capitol Hill – Judge Sun: Ross Bridge Mon: Oxmoor Ridge early, drive to ATL   Thinking about squeezing in Cambrian Ridge after Capitol Hill—worth it or too much? Would love any feedback or tips from those who’ve done it.
    • Day 73 (13 Jul 25) (note: forgot to post the "day" for the past few days, up to day 73) - Easy day in the backyard, with time on the 50deg wedge and the mat (simulating tight lies around the green) working on low spinners.  Love using this mat as it is small and portable but also lends to being a type of alignment rod to get a proper setup.  Finished up with a few swings with the 54.  
    • Congrats on the new leg of your journey - the challenge of learning something new while dealing with Parkinson’s is totally awesome.
    • Played several holes today with my Buddy's left haded clubs.  I was going to order just woods, but after playing again today and hitting the irons well, I will be ordering a complet set of Left handed Clubs.    They are Callaway Edge, Regular flex.  I am excited !  Will let you know after I try them and let you know how well they performed.    Retired Old Man, Terry
    • Depends in part on what lie the greens crew left me. If it's first cut of rough or fairway and clear shot to cup, it's an 8i chip and run. If it's shaggy, or I have to go over ridge or bunker, it's a cut shot with a 58* LW.
