Get Better Now! April 2015 Practice Challenge Thread

[saevel25]

If I do 35 minutes, say, on Monday, can I skip the next 6 days until next Monday?

I would say no

I have not missed a day of a few minutes of work since last summer except for a few travel days.

I´ve been doing this this month, and I think I improve a bit. I took a sand wedge the first day of april to my room ...

A quick question here (just to continue my 5 minutes practice everyday with): to avoid getting the club too inside on the BS, you think is good to practice the firsts steps of the BS with your butt almost against a wall???

[RFKFREAK]

Slacked last week.  I did it a few days but not all.  If I don't get it done in the mornings, it's uncertain if I get it done.

Beginning in May, we'll create a thread like this for each month. Anyone who participates and POSTS every day during that month that they did their five minutes that day will earn a badge for the following month.

Looks like I'm going to have to set my alarm clock 5 minutes earlier!

Spent 30 minutes wrestling with the Punisher..  Did a few slow swing drills, making sure my hands are ahead of clubhead at impact.

Almost the end of April and I have been pretty consistent with my 5-10 minutes per day.

Last night I had one of my better sessions, I'm finally able to isolate the feeling in my left foot during the downswing.. this is to get my weight forward first, because what seems to be happening is I am getting my weight forward onto my heel side and then spinning too soon.. So, now the feeling is more like I am getting on the ball of my foot and even lifting my left heel (even though I'm not) and I can feel distinct pressure to start the DS.

I extended my session to around 15 minutes combined with slow swings, and a couple of full swings with the foam ball..

Can't wait to keep it going!

Just did mine while watching Castle. Wife thinks it's the male flight attendant, she's usually right about these things.

Played 18 yesterday. I warmed up with a small bucket and did my drill to warm up before hitting.  Driving was much better during the round.

Did my 5 min last night after I got home from the gym. Did my 5 this morning before work while the gf got ready.

[boogielicious]

I did about 15 minutes of mirror work at the gym today before my weight workout.

[Abu3baid]

Did my 5 minutes today.. Really feeling the difference of getting my pressure on the ball of my left foot.. Going to take my drills to the range tomorrow and play on Thursday! See if this has helped me or not ;)

I like this. Three days to get into a habit for May.

Time for my 5k power walk on my lunch break followed by 10 minutes of extremely slow iron swings focusing on full hip turn without swaying laterally. Tonight I go to the range to get my first Evolvr film ready to upload.

Congrats! I can't wait to see my new 5sk coach when I take my vacation in less than a month.. Then I sign back up with evolvr.. Practicing like this has really helped me ingrain small practice, but specific and consistent..

Still on track to have a complete month of doing at least 5 mins a day.

[mmoan2]

Today I practiced full swing for an hour using the CLIFF method

Complex

Long

Imprecise

Fast

Failure

Truly a waste of time. I haven't had time to post Evolvr, so I decided to just let 'er rip. I'm fully convinced now that working on your swing without a camera or a plan is a waste of time and money. Just go play golf, then. Got my 5 minutes in, but it should be worth -5 minutes!

[RFKFREAK]

5 minutes this morning before work. Did another 5 minutes with the driver before hitting the gym.

[iacas]

I played nine holes with my kiddo, so I got my five minutes in.

I did it yesterday... And I´m going to do it every single day of may. I going to practise how to grip the club properly , my biggest flaw in words of my teacher. Should have my right hand more 'open' over the other one. Also practice the begin of my back swing. Keep Working.
