    Shot 92 on a track I usually struggle with. 44-48 split. Was on pace for a 41-42 on front before a sloppy triple cost me a chance at my low 9. Played well but could not putt at all. Should have been an 87 or 88 if not for many 3 putts.

    Wow. I went back and watched some of my older, more on plane swings, and you can see how much lower my hands are now compared to then. It’s amazing what video and a trained eye can accomplish. Making this my primary focus along with more thought about proper grip becoming ingrained in my preshot routine.

    Interesting. Thanks for the feedback. I sometimes get sloppy with my grip so I’ll concentrate on that more at setup. I know the proper grip but sometimes it helps to go back and review fundamentals. Point 2 is something that I had an issue with way back on my first swing thread post so maybe it has crept back in. I’ll have to pay more attention to that. Thanks!!

    It’s been a while since I have posted a video. I have not had much practice time but I forced myself to get out to the range today to see what it looks like. I’ve been hitting my driver better than ever but am struggling with my irons (primary miss is fat shots). I had a bit of a regression in my scoring but do have my handicap down to an 18 and shot an 88 my last round. looking at my video was an eye opener. I feel like some of my OTT is coming back but I still think there is some improvement from where I was. My primary focus has moved on to trying to increase my lag and feel the back of my left hand facing the target at impact. After looking at this I may go back to my original focus of trying to shallow my downswing and keeping my head more steady. I would appreciate any feedback you all may have. Thanks!!

    Less golf, more poker!!! Or be like me, do a lot of both! Haven’t been around much but glad to see your still working on the swing. I need to get some video and update my thread.

    I dropped 60 pounds a few years ago and have kept it off entirely by focusing on diet. The most exercise I ever did during the weight loss was to walk a bit. It is definitely the largest factor in weight loss but I am sure that I would be healthier if I also exercised more than I do.

    I’m presently playing to an 18.6 but had been struggling with my irons and chipping which was hurting my scores. I played Raintree (North course) in Charlotte and put up my best round in over a year going 44-44 88. My driver was dialed in all day and my irons were crisp and around the green all day. I had one blow up when I hit a weak fade into a trap on a par 3 and took 2 getting out of the trap with the second barely getting to the top edge leading to a triple bogey six. I would have broke my personal best of 87 had I not snap hooked my drive on 18 OB but I’m not going to worry about it. It was a fun round of golf.

    I’ve slowed down a bit on my practice but I’m still working on my swing. I shot 88 last week and my handicap is coming back down but I’m kind of stuck for the last month or so and not really sure what my focus should be. Looking at my video I feel I may be getting a little flippy. My biggest miss with my irons is hitting fat shots. With the driver it’s a two way miss. Contact with my driver is the best it’s ever been but I’m still prone to spraying it.

    Stonebridge in Waxhaw NC 46-42: 88 I finally got back in the 80’s. It’s been a long time. Started out horribly with two triples in the first 6 holes but then went -1 over the next 7 holes. The best I’ve hit my irons in ages. All the hard work is starting to pay off.

    Day 79 forgot to post yesterday but played 18. Ugly day across the board.
  11. Antneye
    Are you kidding me? I’m in first place and did not get my alert this week. Another season torched because of failed reminders (I know it’s ultimately my fault but I’m pissed regardless)

    Day 78 chipping and pitching Covid drills
  13. Antneye
    Got to the range yesterday. Felt like I was hitting things a little fat. Not sure where that came from.
  14. Antneye
    Day 77 light session just focused on tightening up some fundamentals from my early days with swing plane work.
  15. Antneye
    Day 76 Range session working on short game and full swing for about 90 minutes.
  16. Antneye
    Day 75 back to my normal routine. Chipping/pitching and full swing work w/ foam ball in garage.
  17. Antneye
    Day 74 about 10 minutes of chipping and pitching practice
  18. Antneye
    Day 73 played 18 today. Best my driver and irons have been in YEARS! Sadly I’m still struggling around the greens.
  19. Antneye
    Day 72 same as yesterday. Chipping/pitching and full swing plane.
  20. Antneye
    Day 71 pitching drills and my normal swing routine. Paying extra attention to my downswing feel to clean up my plane.
  21. Antneye
    Finally got some video although I was a bit rushed because I spent a lot of time chipping and putting. I did not check after each shot it so I ended up cutting off the top of the swing but I think it’s still serviceable. I hit the driver really well. It’s been coming around nicely. Irons were a little fat and I was surprised by that since I’ve been hitting them well of late. I don’t love what I see on my swing plane. It seems to have regressed a bit so I’m going to pay a bit more attention to that in my daily work. Thoughts?
  22. Antneye
    Day 70 spent an hour on the range chipping/putting and getting some video of my full swing. I’ll get it up either tonight or tomorrow.
  23. Antneye
    Day 69 I continued incorporating early extension drills into my normal practice routine along with the Covid pitching drill. Also rolled a few putts down a yard stick.

    Lancaster Golf club in Lancaster SC. Today I tackled one of my nemesis courses. 48-48 split for a 96. I shot a 105 there last week. Ball striking was really good except for losing my driver midway through the round which cost me at least 5 strokes. My irons were crisp and if not for horrendous putting (37 putts even with holing out on one hole) I should have pressed breaking 90. I had 5 3 putts on easy pars. I’m not happy with the score but I’m feeling very good with what I’m seeing. Short game practice is needed. Chipping and putting is killing me. I’m absolutely loving my short irons right now.

    My post from yesterday did not record so I hope this counts: Day 67 worked on easy extension drills with a chair behind me. Focused on not separating from the chair. Day 68 played 18 today. Ball striking was still showing progress although I started to fight a big hook with my driver on the back 9. Putting and chipping continues to cost me strokes. 37 putts today even with a hole-out. I need to work on my short game badly.
