Day 656, August 20, 2024

Practiced the short game a fair bit here with @cedrictheo and @dudu3000.

Day 222 - I worked on Day 5 of the 30-Day Practice Plan. Trying to get into a better position with my hips at impact. 

[DeadMan]

Day 34: worked on putting for a bit. Worked on start line with the 2 cups drill. Checking my set up in a mirror as well.

Day 11:

Downswing stuff. Did much better at slowing down and getting it right.

Day 110 (20 Aug 24) - More work at the net…added ball behind the head of club drill - where you work on takeaway to where your club head knocks the 2nd ball back in the takeaway so that you are not too quick pullling the club up but rather keeping the arms extended promoting a longer arc into the ball in the downswing.  Much more solid ball contact- can feel the thinned vs the fat bs the solid strikes.  Hit a total of about 30 balls over the course of an hour..

Day 242:8/21/24

90-minute range session. No shanks! That’s s a big positive! Worked on backswing and initial weight shift. Hit the ball well.

Day 657, August 21, 2024

Practiced for two hours (was downtown for five, so it may have been three) in the morning. Then played 12 holes at WW in the evening.

Day 111 (21 Aug 24) - More work with the net today, continuing the ball behind the club takeway drill - moving the ball farther back to keep the club lower longer.  Was a good, solid session - starting with 9i and finishing with 5h.  Ball contact is getting more consistent.  Hoping to take this to the course tomorrow - have a 9hole round scheduled with a good friend.

Day 223 - Some pitching and chipping work. Got out the Divot Board to work on ground contact with the chipping. 

[Darkfrog]

Day 12:

Mostly backswing work in mirror as I think I’m overdoing a feel. Worked a bit on downswing but it was dark didn’t get much in. 

[DeadMan]

Day 35: range night. Hit 40 balls, just focused on start line and shape. Was really good. Then chipped for about 30 minutes, working on mostly lower chips with a few higher shots. A good improvement with a few small tweaks from my Evolvr!

[WillieT]

Day 112 (22 Aug 24) - weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  I switched it up, putting the MacGregor blades, Toney Penna persimmons and Spalding putter sand wedge into play.  Shot about what I usually do. The course pro loved that I had them…they are a challenge to hit the sweet spot…

[Clemsonfan]

Day 243: 8/22/24

Full swing practice working on starting back with my right hip. Finished with putting on a 3’ ruler.

[DeadMan]

Day 36: range time at lunch. Worked on getting the ball where I’m aiming with a variety of clubs. Nothing else. Also did a stack session. 

[Darkfrog]

Day 13:

Focused again on backswing tonight. Mostly because I have a good sense of when I do this right, and I can play satisfactory golf this way. Still struggling with downswing change - when I slow down it's decent, but still can't translate to full speed. Hoping to have some daylight practice this weekend with camera and Mevo+ to compare data to prior lesson notes.

Day 658, August 22, 2024

Practiced for two hours before lessons. Shorter, shorter, shorter. Preserves the wrist angles.

[DaHolla]

Day 224 - I played 9 holes this evening. Nothing was horrible, but nothing was good. It seemed like I insisted on wasting one stroke per hole, which never bodes well.
