Jacob and I went out and played 9 holes yesterday. It was okay. Not sure it's something I'll put much time in but playing occasionally will be okay. Maybe it was just because we weren't that good...haha. I actually lost my driver that came in the set. Hole 4 runs right along side a creek. I teed off and it was looking pretty good and then a big gust of wind came up and pushed it towards the creek. We saw where it went in and went and looked for a long time. Not sure if it got in the creek and sank or what but we never found it. We didn't keep score or anything.

The thing is, you get better quite quickly.

Start with putters and mids. Avoid drivers for a long time.

I can see that. By the last few holes, i had gotten my shots to get closer to what I wanted.

That is what I told Jacob. I told him that I wasn't worried about replacing that driver until I could play descent with the putter and mid range. I'm not giving up on it already or anything. I'll just carry them and play when my wife takes Emma to the park. I just don't think I'll ever work at getting good at it like I do with my sticks.

    • Day 335: range session before a round of golf tomorrow. Seeing where the ball is going. Hitting it solid, and hitting a pull draw. I can play it, but also found a decent feel to lessen it. We’ll see what happens tomorrow. 
    • Day 51 (20 Jun 25) - Friday men’s group shootout….the old adage of “those who live by the sword, will die by the same” was lived out today as a variant  “those who scramble for par will die by the same scrambling”.  Struggled with the green side game today - up and downs were hard to come by despite the course playing well.  Will be focused on this area in coming drill sessions.  
    • Finally the backswing is getting consistency shorter. This is the best its looks in a while.  1. Swing is shorter 2. Arms and clubs don't carry well past when the torso stops turning.  It was feeling like my arms do nothing at all. Like the butt of the club stays pointed at my belly from A1 to A2. Then from A2 to A3, it's just a slight lift and turn to finish the backswing. Then a pause at A3.

    • This was so good. For me, the best little bit was the visualization of the club under Wyndham's feet when asking him which direction he feels pressure and weight shift (around 30 minutes in). Might try out the right leg back drills to help post up on the left leg earlier.
