When I watched xander schauffele at driving range, Genesis Invitational, I noticed he used a towel in his both armpits. He is one of top players, but he still uses classic practice method. I can easily see people using a towel for their practice at driving ranges. I had done this practice very little, because I couldn’t hit balls well with a towel on my body and got frustrated to practice this way.

One of my biggest frustrated parts on my swing is that my head moves down a lot when I take away clubs. I noticed using a towel help me reduce my head position moving down. Starting 3 days ago, I tried this way again after watching a video about body turn swing. I feel good to get used to this, focusing head position, club path, body turn and impact.

It’s been 30 days since we stayed home except one time I went to a driving range once. I stayed home all day. I didn’t even go to market or stores. I just ordered everything from Amazon Fresh and Prime.

How about my golf? I couldn’t imagine my life without golf. Now the whole golf industry is freezed. As I showed on my last post, howeve, I’ve had my own way at my backyard for three weeks. I am still on!

California’s stay home order was issued last night. 627 death toll in Italy today made me cancel a tee time at Rancho Park golf course today. Still, I got an email from LA city golf stating they are open with some rules. Is a golf course safe from virus? Comparing other places, yes, but nowhere is safe except home these days.

I am a social and outgoing person. My anxiety and stress are extremely high during this time. I am worried too much and I have no desire to do anything today. My husband told me I am like Chinese government, when I checked my kids’ temperatures without any reason. That made me laugh a lot and relieved some stress.

I felt so great after practice yesterday, but today I felt sad because I realized I couldn’t feel that for a while. Come on. A lot of people lost their jobs, finance and their health under this virus attack. I shouldn’t complain and feel so sad about this. I should appreciate more about what I have.

Still, I need to find another way to survive from all stress during this lockdown. I need to do what I like to do and relieve my stress.

I decided to set up my home practice range. I will survive! 😊

Since last time I hold my golf clubs. I was worried, stressed and panic with these dramatic changes at home. For one week, I didn’t even watch golf channels or practice my putting at home. I wasn’t feeling well. No desire to do anything except reading news. Still kids’ online schooling, cooking and housework keep me busy everyday.

I could’ve got out earlier, but I was very cautious with my condition and stayed at home. I had some cold-like symptoms one week ago, that was too mild. I didn’t feel sick, but I just knew my body was not normal. All of my family are ok, especially my 81 year old father-in-law living with us has his normal health condition. I felt I didn’t need to stay home any more.

I finally went to driving range today. I didn’t need to touch or get close to anything. I touched practicing balls, but I washed my hands after practice and wiped everything. I felt so great! This is the feeling I missed so much.

I wasn’t surpised a lot of golfers were at this city golf course. People maintained social distances. I don’t come close anyone within 6 feet. But I am sure this course will be closed soon as we have dramatic changes everyday.

So happy to be back! 😊 It will be a lot better for my health to be out here instead of reading overwhelming news all day.

Regarding PGA tournament cancellation, players interviewed saying “It is just golf.” mentioning life and family are more important. Golf is their job and their big part of life. But comparing golf and family, personal life is more important.

For one week, things were dramatically changed for most people in US. I am one of them. No golf, no practice, staying home and reading news. This virus is everyone’s problem.

I could’ve at least gone to practice, but I felt unwell with soar throat and muscle aches. It is very very mild, but my body is a little different. Wondering if it is from cold, coronavirus or change to inactive lifestyle. I don’t have fever and I can do all my daily routine except golf.

Golf is the biggest part of my life, but now I just need to focus on going back to my normal health.

I woke up at 6 am and expected to watch the group world number 1, 2 and 3 at The Player’s Championship, one of the biggest PGA tournaments. Their tee time is early in the morning in Florida.

No second round? PGA tour cancelled the whole tournament and sent players back home due to Coronavirus outbreak. Yesterday PGA announced they would continue without spectators from second round. It was dramatically changed to cancellation. Not only this, but PGA cancelled at least five PGA tournaments. Then, of course, no LPGA tournaments.

I am not sure how I can survive this Coronavirus outbreak. No golf tournaments, No school for kids, High-risk elder at home and Rain. 🙁

Just one golf round this week. It was supposed to rain today, but we had a beautiful weather. No golf appt for one week. 🙁

I often take videos of my swing at driving range to change one by one. I’ve worked so long to fix many parts, but changing one part still takes a long time.

Currently, I am working on my back swing, takeaway. My iron is better now, but for driver I have a long way to go. So many parts needed to change.

First, my head position. My head goes down so much during takeaway, because I press down my clubs at the beginning of takeaway. I’ve been working on getting rid of this habit for years, but I still have this habit. My coach points I should turn my body from the beginning with lifting my club feeling like lifting my whole body. I know I can’t change it anytime soon, but I am still working on it.

Second, my club head position at the takeaway. I focused it one year ago, but now I came back to it again. My club head should be in front of my hand, but mine is slightly behind my hand.

There is no right swing. Still, I am happy to improve my swing one by one.

Also wishing my left arm is closer to my body, but this is a part I’ve improved comparing one year ago. This is my takeaway one year ago.

It is supposed to be raining for all week days, except today. I made a tee time reservation last minute to play alone joining a threesome group.

It was ok scoring 99. I couldn’t find the right way with my driver I practiced last week. I made more angles and it worked well last week. But trying angles made my swing smaller today. I couldn’t stretch my body well. I need to my own swing to figure this out.

A change from today is no shaking hands. It was usual to shake hands before starting a game and after finishing it. Virus is in town and everywhere.

Tyrrell Hatton won his first PGA titile at Arnold Palmer Invitational. I watched the whole tournament because Rory and Sung Jae Im were one of the leaders at the final round.

Tyrrell Hatton is mostly at European Tour, so I didn’t get a lot of chances to see his play. Wow. His tantrums are outrageous among all PGA players. Worse than John Rahm, Sergio Garcia and Patrick Reed. He cried at bad shots and laughed at good shots so dramatically. That doesn’t mean I despise him. Just fun to see how frustrated golf is.
