    Day 8: More mirror work on the same stuff; neutral grip / centered turn.

    Day 7: Raining, so did some mirror work on neutral grip/centered turn. A little bit of putting bead practice too.

    I'll say a tie between a good shortbread cookie, and chocolate chip right out of the oven. Oatmeal raisin makes a good substrate for ice cream sandwich.

    Day 6: Worked with 6-iron, same stuff; neutral grip, centered turn. Feeling a bit lost right now, but have a lesson booked in about 10 days.

    Day 5: Hit 10 balls with 6-iron; neutral grip, centered turn + weight forward feel and also keep head behind ball.

    Day 4: Played 18. After a 2+ week golf break and not really practicing much, it wasn't awful, which I guess is a positive.

    Day 3: More of the same; neutral grip, centered turn. Short session because it was basically dark, and used a 4-iron.

    Day 2: Evacuated work due to Tsunami warning in coastal California, which turned out to be a nothingburger. But silver lining was I worked from home for half a day, and was able to practice in full daylight. Same work as yesterday; neutral grip, centered turn. Also made effort to get weight more forward with a teensy hip slide-y feel.

    Day 1: After a long practice layoff due to injury, vacation, winter darkness, and work stuff, I'm trying to start back up again. Today I just hit balls with keys from my lesson 6-ish weeks ago; neutral grip and centered turn. Gonna work with that for a few weeks, see how it goes, and then get a lesson scheduled.

    Shot a stress free “no sixes” 78 (38/40) with Covid on Sunday. Practically asymptomatic (congestion and fatigue), I wouldn't have even tested myself if a coworker I was in close contact with hadn’t informed me he tested positive. Told my group I was planning to skip but they insisted I still play if I was up for it. Glad I did because I hit 13 GIR which might be a personal best, but didn’t putt very well.

    Day 18: Coming down with a cold, more mirror work tonight.
  12. Darkfrog
    Day 18 Back to school night so only time for some mirror work before bed.
  13. Darkfrog
    Day 17: Worked on pitch shots into net and some Indoor putting.
  14. Darkfrog
    Day 16: Worked on backswing a little bit and then spent the rest of my time on downswing. It was too dark for recording swings or setting up Mevo+
  15. Darkfrog
    Day 15: Played 18. Aside from one shank, and one bladed half wedge, it was a good round. Could have putted better.
  16. Darkfrog
    Day 14: Did a bunch of rehearsals/slow swings in patio door mirror. Then some yardstick putting.
  17. Darkfrog
    Day 13: Played 18 at Northwood Golf Club, a cool little 9-hole MacKenzie muni in the coastal redwoods near Guerneville, CA. Fun course, cool greens, could have been in better condition but for $48 no complaints. Played a lot of “positional” shots out of the trees.

    Day 13: Focused again on backswing tonight. Mostly because I have a good sense of when I do this right, and I can play satisfactory golf this way. Still struggling with downswing change - when I slow down it's decent, but still can't translate to full speed. Hoping to have some daylight practice this weekend with camera and Mevo+ to compare data to prior lesson notes.

    Day 12: Mostly backswing work in mirror as I think I’m overdoing a feel. Worked a bit on downswing but it was dark didn’t get much in.
  20. Darkfrog
    Day 11: Downswing stuff. Did much better at slowing down and getting it right.
  21. Darkfrog
    Day 10: Worked on downswing g piece. Need to work on this slower, not a great practice night.
  22. Darkfrog
    Day 9: Mobile post from last night didn't go through. Played 18 this morning. Had to fight my body because I only slept 3 hours, and left my breakfast protein bar at home, but when I executed well I hit good shots. There were also some real stinkers.
  23. Darkfrog
    Day 8: Did some pitching practice in the dark, full swing rehearsals in patio door mirror.
  24. Darkfrog
    Day 7: Full swing work: Centered turn Hands drop, hips forward Head - feel like I am trying to look at bottom of ball Jump/post on lead foot
  25. Darkfrog
    Day 6: started working more intently on downswing piece. Just 70% speed swings, lots of exaggerated feel rehearsals.
