    Day 14 (14 May 25) - More work with the trail hand drill I’ve been working the past few days - working with the wedges in the backyard. Starting to feel the pieces coming together…

    Day 13 (13 May 25) - Nice break in the rain just after mid-day, so got outside to continue the trail hand drill - moved up to 7i but still with hard foam balls. Starting to see a smoother transition into the downswing and more consistent ball first contact. Kept the swings to about 3/4 speed as I work on this small adjustment in the swing.

    Day 12 (12 May 25) - A day of light drizzle, able to get outside and continue the work with the trail palm drill. All wedges again today - rehearsing the swing with the open palm on the back of the grip and then making smooth swings through with the wedge of the moment. Looking to see this work translate into better iron play.

    Day 11 (11 May 25) - Got a break in the weather, took a few minutes to pick back up in the trail palm drill with 8i and 6i w/hard foam balls in the backyard. Moved to the wedges for a few swings with the same drill but with real balls.

    Day 9 - 25 (9 May 25) Weekly shootout with the men’s group. It was a very ‘meh kind of round - especially on the green - 36 total putting strokes taken, of that I had 5 3putts. Granted the greens were iffy as they have been struggling with the heat and lack of rain. Also my normal solid 8i was a chunk master - only iron misbehaving today. Much to glean from today…still was fun competing in the shootout.

    Day 8 (8 May 25) - Rinse, repeat of yesterday’s drill session with the subbing of the 54 in lieu of the 7i and of course real balls (kept the shots to less than 30yds). Made a total of about 40 swings focusing again on the palming of the trail hand to get a smooth swing thru. Side bar drill - after school the grandson asked me to chip foam balls for him to hit with his plastic bat (two fold drill - I get to really focus on a target window (and I had to really focus) and he gets to work on swing timing - and he was killing it)….

    Day 7 (7 May 25) - while catching a bit of the Golf Channel’s coverage of the pros practicing, I caught where Ludwig Aberg was talking about palming his trail hand while working on his swing to prevent flipping. I recall working on a much similar drill a while back and opted to work with it in the backyard today with 7i and hard foam balls. Hit about 30 shots total, and made for very focused attention on the trail hand. Made for a solid ball striking focused session.

    Day 6 (6 May 25) - early morning nine hole round with my good friend Mike. Played a six-club setup (7w-5h-7i-9i-54-Putter) as we were playing up a set of tees. Solid thru - 3 pars, 4 bogies, wheels came off on last two with dbls on each. Still a good round of working on shot planning and making less than full swings.

    Day 5 (5 May 25) - Wedge gauntlet today - 25 balls, 4 wedges, mixture of shot shapes. Started with the 54, moved to the 50 then to the 58 and finishing with the 45. Goal was simple - from 20-25 yds, keep the balls all within 15’ circle, at three different target stations. The 54 is still the most accurate, but it is my main short game wedge. Was a good session working the clubs and varied shot shaping.

    Day 4 (4 May 25) - between long day of obligations and much needed rain, opted for a few moments of easy rolls with the putter on the carpet - rolling lags to varied distances from 10’ down to 5’.

    Day 3 (3 May 25) - played 18 (went solo) this afternoon at one of sister courses to my regular course. Went with the three tee box format (Golld-White-Red as this adds a mix to the “I always play this club as my approach on this hole” routine). The front presented issues as the greens are suffering from the heat and lack of rain. Add in 15-20 mph gusty winds and it’s not a walk in the park. It really made the approach reads a little hard to figure out - of the 3 pars on the front, two were GIR, the other a nGIR. The rest were coming up short and that meant a lot of two putt bogies and a big old dbl- managed a 43. The back greens are not suffering as bad and were more receptive to rolls of the rock. Finished that side with a two over 37 (par 35) that included 6 GIR that resulted in 5 para and 1 birdie, the other 3 were two putt bogies. Was a good test of course management and not being afraid to club up or down.
