Day 160 - 2025-03-09

Got some work in after a long day. Only about 15 minutes and only about 21 golf balls, but… They were focused on the backswing with a pause, then a decent bit on the downswing.

Failed to hit “done” on yesterday’s post - so we start over as that’s two missed posts in the last couple of weeks.  

Day 1 (9 Mar 25) - Some 50° wedge fun this afternoon in the backyard.  Worked on making smooth swings with good torso rotation - really zeroing in where I wanted the ball to land AND then making sure I watched the ball leave before looking up as the swing finished.  The latter focal point is one that has begun to pay as I’m seeing better green side accuracy - more up and downs made.

Day 6 - Went to TopGolf with the family, got to hit driver for the first time in a while. Tried transferring what I’ve been working on to the driver, as best I could while playing the games the kids picked.

Day 234: Quick range session. Working on lower body stuff in the backswing. Looking slightly better, but going to need more work. I do think I lost a bit of my previous wrist stuff in the backswing while practicing, so something to keep an eye on.

Day 1: 3/10/2025

I think I'm back in the swing of things. (No pun intended.) 

I go to the range today. Felt great just to get out there. I did a lot of slow motion swings. I even dragged one of the mirrors over. Nice to get some work in. Although the range was packed today. Due to it being the first time we've had nice weather in quite a while. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 161 - 2025-03-10

Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.

Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992.
