Had 30 minutes before the start of my day today so… got some good motions in. Adding a little speed to it now.

Day 312: played 9 holes. Shot +4, which I’m okay with given the downpour I played it. Some things to clean up, but generally feeling solid right now.

Day 29 (29 May 25) - Rain held off today / so I spent time working with the mid-irons using the hard foam balls working on my pre-shot setup and making adjustments based on varied lies from around the property (this really helps on working out of position “non-short grass” shots).  Good session, finished up going all wedges with some pitches with 52 and 58 off the short grass side of the small mat.

Day 313: played 9. Shot even, and birdied the last 2 to do it. Very happy, given my back is a little sore from something.

Day 30 (30 May 25) - Friday men's shootout today.  This turned out to be a new PB day with a 37 front and 39 back for a 76, beating my previous best by two strokes.  It was that rare air day where things were good all the way through the bag.  From a chip in birdie on #2 to hitting the ball to just over 5' on #9 - it was a day of staying in the moment and not letting previous hole scores get into my head.  For example the worst hole of the day - #8 was a 3 putt dbl bogie (misplayed approach put me in tougher up and down setup) that I followed with a birdie at #9.  At the turn, I wanted to stay in the moment and not let it get away.  Settled in with bogie, bogie start followed five straight pars, a bogie and finished with an up and down par.  With only 30 putts - it was a day of near miss birdies, stress free pars.

Long day of cleaning. 🙂 So… I got downtown early and got some practice in while waiting for my first lesson.

Day 314: played 18. Shot +10. Drove the ball well, but was coming up short on every approach. Back needs some work.

Day 315: played 18. Another +10, but won the match. Need to loosen up the back and get through irons better, but good otherwise.

      My Swing (StuM)

      By StuM · Posted

      I’m posting my Stack System results here. I’m not sure what to make of the information below, other than I have plenty of room for improvement.  I was going a little to fast at the  start and need to slow down and pay attention to the timer between shots. I hit some balls after this snd the launch monitor showed several were 245 total which I felt may have been a little generous.  They were good shots (for me) but just looking at the distance markers at the range I felt I was shorter than that.

      I've watched the video and I like Brendan's presentation. It explains exactly how they arrived at creating the original VisionTrack itself so many years ago.

      I am wondering if anybody has ever used these and if so did you use the 3.0 or the 1.0.  I think it might help prevent injury in my hips/groin that seems to show up every couple of years.  Would love to hear as well if they restrict swing in any way.   CORESHORTS | The Original CORESHORTS™ Revolutionary X band design mimics the functional anatomy of the body's core area to boost performance | Anti-odor technology prevents the growth...
