Overall Comments:

Work outs are getting easier. Now doing 30 minutes is not that hard. Getting to the 450+ calories per workout. Less issues with stiff joints.

At driving range, worked on getting ball position correct, especially for the longer irons and hybrids. Moved ball about 1-2 inches forward of center. Changed swing slightly, making sure (1) left arm is straight, (2) swing goes to top of possible back swing, and (3) a pause at the top. Appears to be correcting the tendency to pull for all of my clubs. In addition, open the face slightly versus what I believe is correct. Both changes appear to deliver straighter and longer carry more on target.

However, hitting 2 buckets does leave my back and left knee a bit sore.
