Not yet. Stay away from anything higher than 50 degree. That would be terrible. Apparently the property next door is $$$$. No one is ever there tough. Think it's like $18K/night on AirBnB. Gotta love Hawaii!

I did play last Friday and in league Tuesday night. Snuck out of work early to hit balls before having to head back to preach at the graduation service this evening.

 

I had trouble with driver and decided to work on it. It was easily fixed, too. I had been playing around with the loft and had it two up. More spin, closed club face pretty quickly causes hooks for me.

 

Neutral setting was a nice straight ball or a hint of draw. Honestly I think I launch it just as high at that setting because i hit it in the sweet spot more frequently. Much better. :)

Hit about 150 balls working on not getting hips open too early in the transition. First time swing a club in two weeks so had to battle tempo issues for a bit.

 

I love the extra distance I get when I'm not getting open quickly and able covering the ball. Also missed the feeling of flushing blades.

 

Forgot the phone st the house so was unable to get video or pics of the swing

I took my 12yo to the range today to get in some more work with the C300s. I tried to ease up on my tempo a bit and got much better results - more consistent contact and I'm still hitting a straight draw. Opening the clubface ever so slightly at address helped, but it's still something to work on.

 

My driver is hot garbage, though. Just dreadful. I didn't hit a single good drive at all. Extremely frustrating. Especially watching my son hit dead straight 180 yard shots with his.

saw my buddy at the range and he did something similar. Instead of opening the club face to hit draws.He was opening the face of the club mid way down in downswing.Maybe just a feel, but was really smacking it with a nice draw

Keep it in the short stuff

Alignment issue? Are you using something to check this during your range sessions.

Funny you mention this. I put an alignment stick on the ground this morning to help visualize an in to out path, based on notes I have from my lessons. And wouldn't you know - beautiful high shots right towards the target for the most part. Sometimes after a long New England winter my mind and body "forget" what I need to do. I should've consulted my phone notes much earlier, and saved myself the frustration. I ended up with better shots and much more shallow divots. 

 

Same feel worked wonders for the driver, too. That felt nice after hot garbage on the course last Friday.

Went to the range during lunch today and hit balls for the first time since my surgery.  Body felt absolutely great and I had absolutely no limitations.

 

Apparently I should take 3 weeks off more often because I was striping everything.  Cannot wait to get on the course soon.

 

Also started chatting with a dude next to me on the range that I have seen there several times before.  We talked about equipment and fittings.  I told him about MGS and I hope he joins.  We exchanged numbers as he left and look to tee it up together in the near future.

Spent some time at MGS headquarters on their GCQuad testing my Wilson C300s vs my X Hot Pros.  Hit a bunch of 6 irons to see how they compared.

Hit a bucket concentrating on my left wrist and right index finger “pad”/knuckle at impact. I'm finding that making this my focus has greatly improved my ball striking, and thereby distance/accuracy. Plus, it's helping me keep my lower body more stable by having a focus point.

Practiced my chipping and putting for 30 minutes after. Putting focus is currently getting the ball to finish PAST the hole. I sank more putts today because I was actually getting the ball ALL the way to the hole!!!

It was too nice out this morning to make it to the office exactly on time so I hit the range and putting green. Irons and woods were hit or miss, I'd send 5 balls right to the target with great flight, then I'd hit 3 worm burners or low thinned shots. It got better as things went on.

 

I worked a lot on my lag putting too. I'm not close to being good enough to pin hunt so I have a lot of longer putts. So I spent time on speed and aim, just trying to get the ball within a 2 foot radius of the hole.

Yesterday was working on target practice with punch shots. Then played some putting games trying to create pressure to make the putt and be able to deal with the “nerves” of making a putt

Short game yesterday at the course I was supposed to play today. Got there and was rained out (it never rained at my work 5 miles away - not a drop). Called my club and no rain there.

 

I wouldn't dare ask them to accommodate my league, but I did go there to practice. When I arrived I discovered that I had forgotten my shoes. So I hit balls in my casual dress shoes. Hit everything from wedge to driver, 3 to 10 balls with each club. (All well except some 6 irons and a couple of 3 woods) Pulled my 52 and peppered the target with it.

 

Then alternated 5 or 6 between driver and 7 iron. I was pouring those.

 

Good session - weight loss continues to help my swing.

I got in a good solid hour on a nearly deserted practice range this morning before work. My driver is getting much straighter, and irons were very solid.

 

My sand game... eh not so much but that's always been a major weakness for me. Chipping was very good, I'm getting a lot more comfortable with an open face to use more of the bounce.
