Feeling like shit, so… just did about ten minutes after helping Natalie out with the full swing and putting using the HackMotion.

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….

Day 166: did a stack session.

Day 21: 12/31/2024

I got in a long range session today. I decided to use the time to see how well my new swing changes are sinking in. 

Today was almost all "Random Practice". I've been doing pretty much all block practice for the last couple weeks. Trying to work on my new PPJ swing. So, I hit PW, 8I, 6I, 5W, and driver in random order. Only hitting one ball per and then switching clubs. So, still pretty much working on the same things I've been working on, but switching clubs after each shot. 

Overall, mixed results. I still have some work to do.

Day 241 (31 Dec 24) - last session of the year.  Worked with the 54 wedge focusing on not decelerating in the downswing thru the ball.  Much better distance control, ball checked well.  Good session…

Slow motion swing work focusing on weight shift.

Day 92 - 2024-12-31

Feel like crap, but stayed after lessons and hit about 30 to 35 golf balls just focusing on the backswing stuff. I'm going to do some HackMotion measurements soon and go from there. If the backswing stuff is good, I'll begin working on the downswing, with check-ins. If not, I'll spend another week or two.

Day 167: did a decent amount of slow rehearsal swings, working on cleaning up some backswing stuff.

Day 348 - Started off with some pitching, worked my way up to my priority piece. Really trying to feel my hips towards the target. Need to film things soon.

Day 22: 1/1/2025

Had a long range session yesterday. The range was closed today so I got to do a bunch of practice in front of the mirror. Mostly slow motion, but some fast swings too. I've been using a mark on the mirror to see if my head is moving all over the place and so far it doesn't seem to be, so that seems good. I also made special notice of how open or closed the club face is during my back swing and even my down swing. Feels like I may be over-doing the closed face at the top, but I haven't really seen that in the ball flight, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Spelling is apparently difficult for me.

Day 93 - 2025-01-01

Didn't feel great, so continued the backswing work. Will try to start the HackMotion work/check-in tomorrow to see if I might begin with the downswing.

Day 242 (1 Jan 25) - Club had their annual black-eyed peas 2-person superball tournament today.  Partnered up with the chief greenskeeper’s dad (we play well off each other).  We placed 3rd in our flight - missed some key putts and got too greedy on a few holes.  Still a solid day of play and a great way to kick off the year.

Day 2: 1/1/25

Slow motion swings with the ProSendr followed by putts through 60mm gates at 37”. First time trying at thi distance and hit the gates several times.

[DeadMan]

Day 168: mirror work again, cleaning up early backswing stuff. Looking better but need more time. 

[DeadMan]

Day 169: did a stack session. Worked on the early backswing stuff with slow rehearsal swings during rest breaks as well.

Day 23: 1/2/2025

Had a great range session today. It was downright frigid this morning at the range, but the overhead heater made it tolerable. I started off working on my PPJ swing thought. Some slower, swings, somewhat exaggerating the movements. Then I switched focus and just hit the 6-iron about a half dozen times without thinking. I filmed two of these swings to send to Yoda. 

After that, I worked my way up and down the bag (random practice... yay.) Hitting one shot with each club aiming at a specific target. I tried to focus on where and not how. Over all, I was pretty impressed with my results. 

If you categorize each shot as either good, bad or good enough. I would say nearly all of them were either in the good or good enough category. Again, yay. 

I'm going to do some more mirror work tonight, looking at my videos I think I can still improve what I'm doing. But over all, I was really happy with today's range session. I feel like I've had a giant leap forward in my swing. We shall see if the progress can continue. 

Yay.
