Day 273 - 2025-06-30

Hit balls for 20 minutes (foam balls) while feeling the downswing piece. It still squares up.

Day 61 (30 Jun 25) - Short session with the GW hitting low spinners in the backyard.

Day 16 - busy day but found 10 minutes to practice the hip feel. Solid golf-centric gym workout too.

Day 346: played 18. A decent +8/80 with no doubles. Not a great driver day, but decent putting and iron day.

Day 62 (1 Jul 25) - Wind picked up so temps were a bit cooler - played a solo nine from the white’s (one set back) with the caveat - driver, metal woods and hybrids  can only be used on tee shots (no where else), irons in full play as usual and more than usual on the longer holes.  Made for some different course management thoughts (as I had to think more about wind hurt and help with the constant S winds - and playing more than the usual number of holes for up and down for par.  Shot 5 over 41 - no doubles….also mixed in some fairway bunker work (not that I’m in them that much - just good practice for when I do go there).

Day 274 - 2025-07-01

Day 275 - 2025-07-02

Ten minutes before lessons. I wish I had done a bit more, but time was short. Lotta little things to do downtown today.

Day 63 (2 Jul 25) - weekly 9 hole round with my friend Mike.  Played up a set of tees to where he plays.  Hole one is a vary short par 4 at 215 yds - drive the green (a first) for a stress free two putt birdie…rest if the round was average for me….was a good round of working from different distances off the tee.

Day 347: another long day, so just got in some mirror work. Worked on the feels for the wrist stuff.

Day 64 (03 Jul 25) - After yesterday’s round, I was telling the course pro that he needed to be on the Champions Tour.  He commented his game was no where it should be and was planning to work on swing drills where he is standing on his lead foot only and making practice swings - no hitting balls.  Took me back to the drills series Erik over at TST did during April of ‘20 during the C-19 lockdown.  It was the Day 16 drill called the Double Stork…work thru the swing on the trail foot with lead on tip toe and then switch weight to lead foot and tip toe the trial.  All about getting the weight in the right places.  Did a similar variant today - focused on the lead foot (my nemesis), making focused swings adding a few hard foam balls in the mix.  Good revisit back to some solid basics.

Day 276 - 2025-07-03

Played nine holes. Flushed a lot of the shots, some were just a little left. So the backswing is feeling pretty good.

Day 348: range session. Hit balls for about 40 minutes, with a good 15 minutes of slow practice on my priority piece. Then worked on putts inside 10 feet before I was chased off by the sprinklers.

Day 277 - 2025-07-04

Went downtown to get some cooling done and… to get some swings in.

Day 65 (4 Jul 25) - “Happy Independence Day”….got in some work with the 54° wedge in the staying with the double stork drill (really just half as I worked on weight solidly on the lead foot (which is touch with no toes (motorcycle wreck in ‘16 - long story)) and staying balanced)…after 9 yrs this is still a big nemesis as I revert to relying on the trail foot.  This drill is one of my throw backs to teaching me to trust putting weight on the rebuilt foot.

Day 349: just a bit of mirror work after the festivities. Trying out some feels to get a lot of shaft lean.
