I'd like to start a log in order to keep track of things that went right and things I need to work on. Also I think it would provide an interesting and indepth look into my game and how I think. I hope everyone learns something.

Practiced today. I hit balls, working on the divot drill and left hand only swings. I was also working with the thought of feeling increased pressure on my chest/tricep in my downswing to make sure it was my pivot that was controlling/pulling my arms. I hit the ball pretty well today. 96% of my shots were straight or left, I only hit about 4 balls right today and only 1 was more than 5 yds. I still need more work on the divot drill. I know that if I didn't do the drill correctly my shoulder was not coming downplane correctly and I didn't feel that pressure. I also worked on my short game for about 2 hrs today. I hit a lot of chips and pitches with my lob,sand and pitching wedges. My distance control was ok, but direction was less than optimal. Most of the time I would pull it left. I will continue to work on it. Putting was pretty good today. I hit all the marks I wanted, so right now I'm happy with my putting. I'll probably swing the club inside tonight just to work on the fullswing and short game swings.
Till next time...
