Day 17: 12/27/2024

Went to indoor minigolf with the family today. That counts as practice, right?
I mean, we all brought our actual putters, so in my mind it counts.

Practiced for two hours today. Mostly all backswing stuff while paying some attention to the path, just to make sure.

Day 238 (27 Dec 24) - Long day as our band played an end of the year community meal at a local church that doubled as a Samaritans Purse Western NC Helene relief fundraiser.  Was able work sone with the 50deg wedge - simple chips - nothing special as it was about reinforcing solid setup and controlling distances.

Day 18: 12/28/2024

Good day at the range today. Got to work hard on my priority piece. (The PPJ swing).

With a 7 iron or 6 iron in my hand I'm getting more of the right than wrong. Which is great progress. 

I did a lot of block work again today. Right now I'm planning on adding in some random work next week.

This was to post yesterday, guessing somehow I did not hit the submit button.  Anyway….Day 239 (28 Dec 24) - Weather was cooperative this afternoon, able to take grandson to the course for an afternoon 18.  Had a blast working with him - had a decent round - shot an 83 (7 pars (4 were up and down saves), 11 bogies, 31 putts total (no 3 putts or worse)). Best part was watching my 8 yr old grandson and the fluidity of his swing and the steadily growing confidence in his own game…

Day 19: 12/29/2024

Back in front of the mirror today. I actually took everything slower than usual today. I was trying to focus on my PPJ swing and also trying to be sure as it has sped up over the past weeks it hasn't gotten out of whack. I feel like it's pretty in whack, so I'm hoping to send some video to Yoda soon.

Day 346 - Back to full swings and my main priority, which is getting my chest up and my hips forward as I finish my swing. Mostly slow partials to get that feeling, but I worked up to slow, full swings.

Day 20: 12/30/2024

I've been working on my swing in front of the mirror today. Spent a lot of time at slow speed, mid speed and a couple at full speed.

I just came back in from the garage where I practiced my PPJ swing by hitting about 10 balls with the 6-iron into my net.

Day 240 (30 Dec 24) - last time at the course for the year…played the front nine with my good friend Mike.  Nothing special - middle of the road 4 of 7 fairways hit, 4 of 9 GIR, putting could have been better - as 3 of the 4 GIR resulted in bogie 3 putts.  Such is the rolling of the rock….
