dhartmann34 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I just worked on the drills from my lessons today. So difficult to get it engrained. Really trying though.

StripedSweater69 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Spent an hour and 10 minutes on the practice green doing the ladder drill and reverse ladder drill to improve my speed/lag putting. I sat down with our local pro a couple of days ago and after looking at my 5 most recent scorecards, he said that he's confident I can break 80 by the end of August if i dedicate the majority of my practice to the short game, while maintaining my current long game.

tommc23 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 I practiced flop shots and other short game shots high and low in my yard trying to get them to land in different holes, dang dogs keep digging and I keep filling. And I use my 7 month old puppy to collect them and bring them back to me.

yungkory Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Worked on posture and a weakest grip tonight. Sawyer some surprising success, though the grip feels nowhere near natural yet I worked on the same! Although I think you meant weakest in terms of hand position. I was working on not strangling my grip. My ball striking was solid in practice, hopefully next round it translates cksurfdude and LBCgolfer 2 Quote Driver: GT3 Ventus TR Black 5 S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: DF3 x Accra Ball: Tour B X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMookie Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 Went to the range and got a good bucket in before the rain came. I went back to working my old drills from before my last lesson. Once I finished my drills I "played some holes" using various flags and back netting for aiming points. I hit the balls well and left happy and confident as the rains soaked me.

STUDque Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Hit my whole shag bag from between 50-75y. Most were at 75y. Used all 3 wedges and hit a variety of flights each. Direction control was pretty decent but I had a hard time getting the distance right. About 3/4 of the balls are long. This thread is a good idea to help document practice.

yungkory Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hit a bucket on the range today, half of it with my 6i in anticipation of my Mizuno fitting tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure I was getting good shots on the ball so I get good, comparable results tomorrow. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight, I'm too stoked! Also spent 45 minutes on the putting green as well. Practicing from 15-20 feet, trying to hole them more. Also practiced a lot of 4-5 footers - no more 3 putts! cksurfdude 1 Quote Driver: GT3 Ventus TR Black 5 S 3w/5w: TSi2 Tensei AV Raw Blue S 4h: CLK 22* Hybrid Tensei CK Pro Blue 80HY S Irons 5-PW: 223 Steelfiber PR 95 S Wedges: 50, 54, 58 Steelfiber PR 105 Putter: DF3 x Accra Ball: Tour B X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cksurfdude Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Had a bit of an epiphany (no disrespect, Rev)...... Was working on chipping and pitching, trying to hit three balls the same way three times in a row with the goal to try to get them to land close together. Changing up shots between groups .. using one wedge, hitting to different targets, eg. further / shorter, higher / lower. So: loosened up the grip - a LOT - last three fingers of left (lead) hand very lightly wrapped around with left thumb and index finger just touching while right hand was almost not on at all ... All of a sudden - and will not be a surprise to any of you pros - the club moved more easily and the clubhead speed picked up .. with the result that the ball was popping up quickly and flying higher and more consistently... Wow! Now.. if I can take this to the course .. especially into the bunkers...!! LBCgolfer, revkev and MattF 3 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...
