Day 1 (2 Sept 25) - Weekly nine hole with my good friend Mike.  Played up on the red tees (where he's most comfortable) - for me it was a full bag day, with deliberate mixing up of the approach shot choices.   Made for a solid day with a 38 (7 pars and 2 bogies).  Also the greens had been verticut, sanded and rolled - almost zero checking and holding.  Was fun with the varied challenges.

Day 1:

Worked on priority piece from lesson on getting trail hip depth(not sure if term is correct, but that’s what I’m calling it) in backswing. Filmed with mirrorvision to confirm correct position.

Day 5: played 18 holes. Shot a 78 that wasn’t great. Need to clean up some short game stuff. Full swing solid but not spectacular.

Day 338 - 2025-09-03

Played nine holes (white tees, though I hit mostly 4I and a few hybrids off every tee) with @NatalieB after a playing lesson. We went off 10, so I played the front. Shot 33. No bogeys. Missed a few greens (1, 2, 9 - that's fewer than I thought) and got up and down on all, with tap-ins at each.

Throwing the back of the club at the ground behind me. I don't know how it works (of course I do, but my brain doesn't really feel like it should 😄 in the moment), but it does.

Day 3 (4 Sept 25) - Worked with mid-irons on setup and overall shot alignment in the backyard, hitting the hard foam balls - the goal- stay in the process and  keep tempo consistent.  Process involved doing a quick think through after each shot to replicate on the course reaction as well as getting a good reset (i.e. approximating time between shots).

Day  21 9-4

Worked on lower body movement with mirror. No clubs or ball. Spent time just going through the correct motions slowly. Realized I was trying to force postions a little too much, when really they've worked their way into my swing more than I thought. 


Posted

Day 2:

Same as first day, but no mirrorvision because it was dark. Hit a few balls afterward.

Day 6: got out the foam balls and chipping net. Worked on chipping for a while. Focused on good contact with lower chip shots. Also mixed in a few higher shots as well. Need to raise the handle a bit to help with better contact. Other than that, solid.

Day 1: Chipping practice tonight and made 5 in 40 minutes. Could not make the toughest chip, but really did well after watching a Joseph May instagram video with Ben Crane today.

Day 22 9-5

Full swing practice. Focused on lower body movement. Recorded dtl and face on. Hit foam balls. 


Posted

Day 3:

Played 18. Maybe thought a bit too hard about hitting certain feels/positions. Once I let that go started swinging more freely and hit the ball better. Shirt game and putting weren’t good though.

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
