Day 290 - 2025-07-17

Did a lot of mat shuffling today. My mat is not as worn, but is now one section wider for easier drivers/long clubs and easier use of the Quad or GC3.

Day 77 (17 Jul 25) - Weekly nine hole with my friends. Round started rough but smoothed out as we made the turn.  As such the focus was course management by focusing on solid recoveries and not being a hero.  Saw this really shaping up as we made the turn - saw the dbls/triple go to pars and bogies…

Day 78 (18 July 25) - After the Friday shootout round, spent some time hitting the GW in the backyard focused on lower flighted shots.  Had several today that I played short leaving way too long putts for par saves.  Shortened backswing and follow thru were the focus while not decelerating.

Day 79 (19 July 25) - Band rehearsal this morning - got home midafternoon, opted to work more with the magnetic alignment tool with the wedges.  Used it to work on face position at the bottom of the swing arc - followed up with easy pitches up to 50yds.  Seeing better face control and over improved accuracy toward target…session was cut short with pop up rain showers.

Day 364: About an hour and a half practice session. Spent most of it at the range. Did a solid 30 minutes of work on my priority piece, with filming. I think it's improving, but will probably check in on Evolvr to make sure. Then spent the last ~20 minutes putting, working mostly on short putts.

Day 80 (20 Jul 25) - Sunday practice round for the upcoming tournament the first weekend of August - playing partner and I practiced the Texas Scramble format (both tee off, and play own ball in from better of the two tee shots and record the better net score).  A lot of discussion of what would give the better shot in…great session on course management.

Day 365 (!!!) - did the yardstick putting drill while watching the British Open this morning. 
 

Side note - my steak likely ends today, which is kind of cool. I’m going on a family vacation without golf stuff this week. So either I’m getting really creative with my 5 minutes, or I’ll start a new streak on Saturday. &nbsp

Day 294 - 2025-07-21

Practiced for a good two hours. A bit laid off, a bit cupped, and then throw it with the back of the right hand.

    • 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.
    • Baseline fine, and boy do I have room for improvement.
    • 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...    
    • I think dish soap is ideal. It's not good to wash your hands with dish soap because it strips away all the oils and dries them out a bunch. That's what is making the grip dirty though - you want something that will dissolve oils. Hand soap is generally gentle on your hands and won't do much to clean your grips - at least not without a lot of effort.
