Day 42 Sept 25

Worked on backswing with better head movement. Downswing with better flow. Recorded and hit foam balls.

Day 21 (September 25).  After work, and before TNF, I spent 15 minutes in my practice room;  I again didn't do the medicine ball drill today, but I did do the two-club swing and then hit several balls, mostly my 6-iron but also a hybrid for three balls.

Day 2: Distance wedge swing feels. Feeling is keeping my upper body down while allowing my lead knee to extend.

Day 26: played 18. Bad front, excellent back. Need some work on short game. Approach and driver play was solid, although not great.

Day 361 - 2025-09-26

Practiced in the mirror while watching the Ryder Cup. I think I'm going to slightly strengthen my left hand grip. 🙂

Day 25 (26 Sep 25) - Friday men’s shootout…85 (45 front / 40 back) - takeaways:  too many dbls on the front (4), battled back with 4 pars and 1 bogie ; the back - solid (for me) - 6 pars, 2 bogies, 1 dbl…8 of the 10 pars were 1 putt up and downs (with two near miss chips for birdie) - that was fun watching the ball stop less than 6” from the hole pin high!  Overall - staying in the pre-shot process, accepting the shot shape of the day and difference seen in carry made for a very solid round despite the doubles…

Day 43 Sept 26

Backswing work with head, "flow" drill with downswing. Noticed i started getting out of rhythm a bit the past few days. Need more focus on getting pressure to lead side early.

Day 22 (September 26).  Played 18 today, experimenting with bag configuration (I may have taken 16 clubs, on purpose, because of trying to determine a gap issue;  I also hit multiple balls a few times).  I also hit some practice shots (with the practice routine) at home before heading out, of course.  I will probably have a post with some follow up questions soon

Day 44 9-27

Hit real balls off grass today. Primary focus was better head movement. Really need to keep grinding on flow feeling in real swing and pressure shift.

Day 362 - 2025-09-27

Worked slowly, only hit foam golf balls. Backswing shorter. Downswing face stays open. No pump to overload everything.

Day 3: Putting with a metronome.

Day 26 (27 Sep 25) - light rain today, did get in some chip and run drills using the 6i.  Focused on keeping the flight down landing at the targeted distances.  

[DeadMan]

Day 27: did a stack session.

Day 23 (September 27).  I had a few short practice sessions over the course of the day, totaling about four dozen shots (with the usual prep, same as the last few days).

Day 363 - 2025-09-28

Got some good work interspersed with some maintenance work at Golf Evolution. Manage the backswing, pour it on for the downswing. No need to over-do everything.

Day 24 (September 28).  While I have more practice to do today, I'm posting what I've done so far.  I did a Speed Sticks session late in the morning;  the second iteration with the green stick had a median of 113 mph.

I also had a 20 minute, ten-practice ball session (indoors, mostly 6-iron, a few 8-iron) session;  two-club swing, then set up and practice, step away, hit a ball, repeat.

Day 45 9-28

Hit real balls off a mat today. Worked on flow drill feeling and keeping head from moving around. I did change the focus to moving pressure to lead side in 2nd half of practice. Broke the head off my 7 iron 🙃

Day 4: Worked on slow distance wedge feels from setup to impact.
