    Day 3 (4/30/21): Same as yesterday, too windy outside. Worked on Day 6 of the COVID drills - Basic Chipping.

    Day 1 (4/28/21): Reset, went away for a few days and wasn't able to practice. Worked on posture, using the post on "Good Golf Posture" by mvmac as a reference.

    Notes: 9 holes 4/20/21 Driver: No driver today. Driving iron was my go to club off the tee, short course and tight fairways. Contact was solid, accuracy was good. I need work on picking better starting lines. This club produces a consistent draw. All my missed fairways were a few feet to the left in the rough, I would've hit those fairways I started the ball more to the right. Pick better start lines. Irons: Ball striking was good, solid contact and no chunks. One pull on a short par 3 and no chunks (success!). Really need to work on distance control, lots of missed birdie and par opportunities that resulted in double bogeys. Learn distances and control. Pitching/Chipping: Solid contact and no chunks. Lots of missed par and bogey saves due to no distance control. I had a lot of bad lies this round, whether it be in footprint shelfs in sand traps or weird divot like trenches in the rough. Not sure how to work on this other than not hitting it in those spots. I think this will correct itself once I dial in my iron distances. Focus on hitting targets (accuracy and distance control) Putting: Decent speed control and accuracy, but not consistent. Again, limit 3 putts and getting close to the hole. Focus on aim and speed control. Decent round off the tee, but really got myself into trouble by making bad decisions. Looking back, I could have saved a few strokes that were a direct result of a poor decision. Also, need to pick better lines off the tee and work on distance control. Short game is another area that needs a lot of work, along with the driver. Those two areas seem to be the cause of my high scores. Goal for this week is to develop a short game practice plan.

    Notes: 9 holes 4/19/21 Driver: Everything felt uncomfortable. One good drive on the day, everything else was a Push-Fade. Needs a lot of work. Need to get a video. Irons: Ball striking was good, had solid contact and a limited amount of chunks with no pulls. Need to learn my distances. Pitching/Chipping: Mostly solid contact, but not getting the ball close to the hole. Never gave myself a chance for a 1 putt. Need to focus on contact and distance control Putting: Good speed control, but missing my lines. Need to limit 3 putts and get the ball closer to the hole on the first putt. Need to focus of aim and lag putting. There was a lot to take away from this round. A few positives, but I have a lot to work on, especially my driver.

    Thanks everyone!

    Now I know what you mean by "whoosh". I used your approach above this evening and had very good results. I had a few chunks, but didn't have one the rest of the round after using your approach.

    Day 5 (4/19/21): Did some mirror work this morning. Focused on take away and position at A6. Also, played 9 holes in the evening.
  14. PhiladelphiaCollins
    Thanks for the feedback! What do you mean by a "whoosh"? I try to hit the ball first, but some shots I end up hitting behind the ball. I can almost feel it before it happens. It's either from bending too much at the knees on my backswing or not rotating with my hips during my backswing. But I don't if that's what's causing it. I'm somewhat familiar with the ball flight laws, but I need to review them. I think that'll be a great place to start. I like the idea of using an alignment stick in the ground to sort out my path. I've been anti range tools for forever and I'm realizing that is a very stupid take, especially if I want to get better.

    Day 4 (4/18/21): Worked on Day 5 of the COVID-19 practice plan.
  16. PhiladelphiaCollins
    Thanks! It's the only way I know how to explain it. I never really know what's gonna happen.

    Day 3 (4/17/21): Range work for 150 yards and in, picked some targets and see how close I could get.
