"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (January 2016)

[Patch]

Played 9 holes this morning. No real swing thoughts. Just doing my "dollar bills" thing. Shot a 39 with 6 pars. Took longer than 5 minutes...lol.

[Dave325]

Did two 30-minute sessions I n the backyeard working with the 7-iron. Continuing to focus on the takeaway and the right elbow up to impact... encouraged about how things are proceeding.

A few minutes of slow backswings in front of my "mirror" (window reflection, I mean, but hey, it works), and then a few minutes of slow backswings with a wall against the left side of my head to monitor its movement during the backswing.  Also a couple of swings with the wall against the right side of my head.

A few minutes this morning before work taking more slow swings focusing on flat left wrist by A4.

[Lihu]

More hip turn and starting more speed drills. Probably going to back off the speed part if I feel any sort of resistance.

Spent around 15 to 20 minutes doing mirror work. Same drills.

10 mins outside on the lawn, 7 iron, full swing practice. Working on the ratio between back swing and through swing, trying to speed up the back swing to get it closer to 3:1

[MiddleTees]

Doing same drills. Feel in pivot drills highlights need of getting onto left side. Last view sessions I've been focusing on this. It's a new feeling and not having it may account for lack luster performance in past. 

[No Mulligans]

Chipping, Chitching, and full swing working on catching the sweet spot.  I've been tending to catch the ball towards the toe of the club, moved a tiny bit closer to the ball.

All that in the rain!

Walked 18 holes in a slight drizzle to day. Worked on my "wet game" for 3 hours.

Hit quite a few balls at a covered range in my area using a full hip turn and did some speed drills in between shots. They actually seem to work. I'm starting to get reasonable distances.

Snow on the ground the last 2 days, which is quite rare for around here...despite living in Canada. So yesterday and today were both done in my basement in front of the mirror. Yesterday was spent on backswing, looking to staying centered and avoiding sway.

Worked on this again today, but again worked on first move down and feeling my lead hip clear for my first move and making sure to avoid any casting.

A bit cold and a layer of frost on the ground, but a nice sunny day afforded me the ability to practice the 7-iron. I realized that I like hitting off the frozen ground, more than he wet and slushy ground we've had for the last week. Focused on the right elbow and working it really slow for an hour. Getting a little better. Spent another 30 minutes on the driver with the same right elbow thought. Checked the sweetspot hits. Hoping to get my last Evolvr analysis back that I posted on 1-1-2016 to get feedback on my elbow progress. Plan to post a video a bit later in the week on MySwing.

Hour session in the garage hitting into my net. i worked on a couple of drills. I used and alignment rod in my left hand to keep me from flipping my hands. I did this with 1/2 swings and full swings. I taped a 7 iron after to see if i was hitting it in the center of the club, happy with the results. Hit some chips the pitches then full shots with my pw. Finished the session with my 4 iron and 3 wood.

More work with the flat left wrist at A4.  I'm likely go continue doing mirror work on this over the next few days since it's cold as heck out there and it's Wild Card Weekend which means I'll be all about football this weekend.

More of the same with a PVC club. . .

[boogielicious]

Mirror work before my core workout. Focused on slow back swing for a centered hip turn. Then on the pivot from A6 to A8-9. I noticed my left foot spinning out on the wood floor, so I put down one of those yoga mats and stood on that to mimic the range or grass. It made a lot of difference.

Travelling today. 5 minutes practice in front of the hotel room mirror, working on my address posture from front on & down the line.
