7:05pm. Slept in a bit. Stress and just lazy getting out of bed. Thinking about what I need to do today, emails to send and conversations to be had. Last day in Calgary.

Get to golf course. And I focus pretty exclusively on left hand right hand drills.

The goal is to gain connection to the club. To know it in my hands. Especially the left hand, I got a lot of feels just night prior. Feeling sore tho.

Alas, the high level from the 9 holes I played. Practice before and after.

I have all the tools to learn it.

What I need is to just loop the games. Back to backs. And work through all the clubs. Gain that awareness on the course.

I started feeling the shot shapes. Which was nice. And the driver. It’s so close to being automatic. But still old stuff creeps up. Still need to focus on what I’m doing otherwise I have that miss out to the right.

The way each shot presents itself. And then my feel for it. In the hands and body and mind’s eye.

I think the warmup. Would be dope to go into a game with a local mastery. Some of the peak feels I’ve achieved. And then feel it on the course.

So part of it is building that high level feel. The thwackk. Smack. Easy bottom of arc hits. Where it hits on its own. I’ve got it dialled from the warmup practice stuff.

Short range left right work. Use a weighted club. Just super close on the green. To gain that tight vision brushing clipping the grass.

Move to the 100 yard approach section. Go through a few clubs. Low lofted clubs too. Punching it. Finding the face and low point. Clipping it nicely. This is always super effective. To help me move smoothly even with long clubs.

Then go long range. Do the left and right again. But also go for the full swing smacks.

Something to layer on would be super slow super smooth swings. All the way around to the finish position. Then finish with some smacks.

Then repeat.

I nuance I found. Which is part of building the hand connection and building your grip on the club. Was doing a practice swing. Left hand weak for example. Then address ball with that grip feels for two hands. I call this the afterglow. That you’re trying to integrate. Overlay into the two hand grip awareness.
