  2. 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.

  4. 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’.

  6. 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.

  8. Day 2 (02 May 25) - Back in the Friday Men’s group shootout. Had a very solid 83 (41 front / 42 back) with consistent play across the bag. Best part of the day were the compliments from one of my playing partners on how my approach wedge game had improved and how “smooth” my putting stroke is. It was nice getting the feedback that the drills have begun to pay off.

  10. Day 1 - 01 May - Just about a two week layoff (family trip to Alaska) which included one round of on ship putt putt - today was a full on return as I loaded the clubs l, the cart and walked the back nine. The score did not reflect the joy of hitting solid drives, nicely played approaches and smooth rolls with the putter. It was a totally up and down kind of day. Got home and the grandson asked me to chip some foam balls to him to hit with the ball bat….talk about shot control….best practice ever

  20. Day 15 (17 Apr 25) - played 18 at a sister course to my home course with my friend whose son is the chief greens keeper at both courses. With the greens super firm and ultra fast it was a day of course management 2.0. Nothing was holding so it was all about playing the rolling release.

  22. Day 14 (16 Apr 25) - Weekly nine hole round with my friend. Mixed it up a little by putting the old DCI 1iron in play off the tee. Sure it wasn’t the driver, but just working to hit solid iron shots off the tee was a good lesson on focused tempo.

  24. Day 13 (15 Apr 25)- late afternoon session with 6i full swings into the net and short pitches in the yard, before moving to Sw for controlled up and downs. For kicks broke out the DCI 16° 1 iron and hit a few as into the net. Definitely different beast.
