What/How Did You Practice Today?


null

Recommended Posts

Not playing or practicing much the last 2 months and it shows.  I think I shot 88 the other day which is not acceptable for me. I went into hole 5 even, and left it 4 over...Left #6 at 6 over.    All aspects of the game are bad.  I shouldn't complain as Im not grinding at the range or at the putting green 2-3 times a week as per my norm. 

 

Last night was my first time on the putting green in Id guess 2 months or more?  Started out just basic chips with my 58 then worked down to long bump and runs with my 47.  Focused on weight distribution and setup and the back of my left hand going towards target on follow through. 

Putting I did a mix of short and long range putts.  I generally just look at the "ball" when I putt, but part way through I decided to focus on the very back of the ball with the thought of "aim small, miss small".  No doubt it tightened things up a bit and the strike location on the face of the putter face got smaller. 

Last night was really just to get back in the groove of practicing and working from the green back on finding my game.  Tonight will be wedge play down to maybe 8i at most.  I need to find my groove and build some confidence in my game.

I went to the range after church yesterday - it’s so hot here right now it’s difficult to be out for long.

One of our teachers was giving a lesson next to me. The guy taking lessons is just starting out, young guy, athlete and going about it the rest got way.

As I was packing up his teacher asked me to hit one more drive for his student. He told the guy, watch how Rev drops it in the slot, it’s a unique swing but very efficient. He hits a 5 yard draw 225-230 i the fairway every time.

I was pretty psyched that this was exactly the shot that I hit. (Of course I had just hit 10 in a row just like that before it)

I think I am on the cusp of really good things. I just really need some practice with my irons to figure out what is going wrong. I don't expect my club to open up the range for open practice any time soon, so just need to finish my backyard renovation. Some days I will be hot off the tee, one time I hit 12 plus fairways with driver and still shot over 100. I think that day I chunked almost all of my iron approach shots. 

Can't wait to get some video swings in so i can get feedback from an instructor. Hopefully i finish this backyard renovation in the next 3 weeks.

Burned a medium buck with the intent of short irons only to find a grove with my new Mizuno. Afte a few balls i realized i was standing to close to the ball so adjusted. Huge diference. No chunks and contact and fligt cMe out like magic. Such a great feeling club. Ended up runing through most of the bag with pleasing results boosting my confidence after a couple dismal rounds left me wondering where my game went. Day 2 down, day 3 tomorow

Have a member guest tomorrow so I went to a local course to hit some balls. Just worked on tempo and trying to feel shots instead of just mechanics. Had a first while I was there.

Got to the range and threw my AirPods in like I always do and about halfway through my bucket a dude walks up and starts rummaging through my bag looking at my clubs. Decides for some reason taking out my 8 iron was a good idea. I asked nicely, not so nice and then angrily to get him to leave. Dude had the balls to go inside and tell the shop I threatened him on the range. Once I explained it to the guy from the shop he got it and told me to finish my bucket and the guy will be escorted off the property. Seriously, would anyone here ever go up to someone’s bag of a person you don’t know and start grabbing clubs?

What the hell? That is for sure a first not sure what was going through his mind.....not even a hey nice clubs can I take a swing? Even that is still far fetched I wouldn’t ask a stranger to swing a club....and COVID-19 (which however you feel about the situation) still would not take someone’s club

Interestingly enough I had this happen about 2 weeks ago, an older gentleman just walked up to my bag and grabbed my hybrid and was about to hit it..... I had my bag behind me and wasn't really paying attention to anyone else. It took me by surprise and I snapped at him quite harshly (WTF MAN) he said "nice club". My reply was go f****** buy one then, keep your hands off s*** that doesn't belong to you. Completely forgot about it until reading your post. Some people need to be hit with a shovel.

Digging hard to find my groove. Contined progress from yesterday with bal placement. Struggled early. took a break and made adjustments. After a bad shot I stepped back and thought about it. Just not getting afte it and getting after the ball. Strong over ball, bit more grip pressure. and go down after it. Probkem solved. I tend to lax in my routine and  get forgetful. 

Day 4 tomorrow.

Hit a small bucket this morning, still working on the backswing and starting down with solid weight transfer. Things went pretty well, the less moving parts I have in the swing, the better the results!

I spent a lot of time with my 54 hitting to a target and I dropped a few right in front of it, I was really pleased with that. My aim tends to get skewed because I naturally want to set up open. The biggest thing I took away from lessons was to feel like I was pulling my right (rear) shoulder back after I took my stance, and sometimes I get forgetful and that leads to tons of bad shots.

Well this is not good. Today I felt disconnected and could not find my swing. Almost like watching a beginner at the driving range . I was topping the ball and could not get dialed in. Now I am stressing. Everything for last few months was in order, weekly routine, drills, range time, quality ball striking and today, freaking today I look and feel like I have never played................. Got to get this fixed by weekend.  Apologies for rant.

Fantastic range day.

warmed up with wedges and then focused on 8/4 iron and then got to the infamous 3 wood (sim hzrdus green shaft). Shaft is AMAZING! The feel of the sim is crazy. Great pop and sound. 
It will be replacing my driver for a while. I was longer with as good of swing speed if not faster (hit 123 5 times averaged 115).

the range i go to has a back fence and I have not hit it nervermind cleared it with driver. I did both today with the 3 wood....multiple times....

needless to say when the sim drivers go down I may have to gander at them and get the hzrdus green with it

That sounds like good range time with the 3 wood. Hard not to use it in place of your driver with results like that.

I need to do more half swing buckets like that. Since working with my coach on path, I'm pushing a little bit because I'm not getting the face closed enough at impact.

Have a member guest tomorrow so I went to a local course to hit some balls. Just worked on tempo and trying to feel shots instead of just mechanics. Had a first while I was there.

Got to the range and threw my AirPods in like I always do and about halfway through my bucket a dude walks up and starts rummaging through my bag looking at my clubs. Decides for some reason taking out my 8 iron was a good idea. I asked nicely, not so nice and then angrily to get him to leave. Dude had the balls to go inside and tell the shop I threatened him on the range. Once I explained it to the guy from the shop he got it and told me to finish my bucket and the guy will be escorted off the property.

Hit a local muni that has a nice short game practice area this morning, took my dozen practice ProV1's and felt my arms against my body for 50 or so pitches, then over to the practice green. My putting routine is typically to take 12 balls with the prayer drill to keep my wrists quiet and feel my body move through the ball, then another 12 with two wedges setting up a "gate" of sorts, feeling good temp and getting the ball centered on the putter face.

Then I'll set up a "windmill" of tees, 12 in total, 4 at 3', 4 at 6', and 4 at 9'. I went around each spot 4 times, and my stroke is feeling really good. To wrap up putting, I go back and forth between 2 holes roughly 30 feet apart, trying to 2-putt 10 times in a row. Finally, I chipped from a few different lies and tried to take different wedges and shots to a few different holes. Hitting little 40 foot checkers with my 60° wedge is a lot of fun, and I might be getting consistent enough with it to use it if I need it on the course! Great day of practice, feeling like the short game is really getting dialed in.

This is not good #2. Yall can go ahead and laugh and suggest help needed advice if you may. Help/prayers needed. 🤔

So today, good beautiful day. Went outside to practice lob wedge shots. Here's the setup. Back yard has my hitting mat to front yard golf flag/pin. No wind, again perfect weather about 85 degrees. No noise from neighbors, dogs are behaving and just watching me, wife is watering plants and doing her thing. I have about 37 yard carry/landing spot and allow ball ~6 yards to release to flag stick/pin. Its bermuda and shaggy with relatively hard soil underneath. Ball always releases in my yard. Anyway I am 30 minutes into my practice session and I have just nearly holed 4 out of my last 20 balls. Thinking, I should have went to course. I am getting a little hot/sweaty but I am OCD and keep practicing. Then the worst thing happens. I shank the freaking ball into one of my downstairs windows and the wife sees it. This is bad. Real bad. I knew I should have stopped after nearly holing out two beautiful high lob shots that kissed the flag stick/pin. But I kept on and that shank happened. I freaking never shank the ball with my wedge game. So I got the wife calmed down, will get the window fixed. But I can't get that shot out of head. And what if its permanent, like the next time I take my lob wedge it happens freaking again? Not good. I am stressing.

Bummer on the window but nice work prior to that! Focus on the good, block out the bad.

Sorry about the window.  Just forget about the shanks.  I had a day where i was warming up for a round and shanked half the warm up bucket.   Everything turned out fine on the course.
