"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (May 2015)

[iacas]

Hit balls for 30 minutes or so before I played. Focused almost entirely on hitting the ball solidly.

Driver, a strength of mine lately, has been acting up lately. I felt weak today, though, so played like poo (played 18 after the round). Scrambled my tail off to shoot a decent number, but blech.

[WatchOutLeft]

Spent 30 minutes with the same drill as yesterday. Working on striking the ground in front of where I set up.

[krupa]

Spent about 30 minutes at the range, mixed full swings with five iron and chips and pitches with sand wedge.

[Shindig]

Headed east to avoid the bad weather (man, the weather in southern California has been awful this past few days!). Hit the range, did ... well, everything. Slow practice swings, slow hitting the ball swings, some pitching and chipping, a little bit of putting. Took video of some slow hitting the ball swings to check into evolvr with.

Did 10 minutes drill work at the range before my round.

Happy mother's day weekend to all you mammas!!

There will not be any actual golf this weekend. Got home and managed to get in the backyard to hit a sponge ball into the shed for about 10 mins and just did 10 or mins of chipping stroke work in the house.

I worked on my mapping on every tee today so I spent probably 25-30 working on my drill.  I was able to sneak out and play 18 before my wife got home from work.  Im struggling with pulls on the course.  The mapping drill has helped me hit my irons a lot more solid.  I only hit a few iron shot thin and not a single one heavy which was nice for a change.

Spent most of the day with @pcombs21 at Metedeconk. We worked on the skills I need to work on to score better (all of them). Got lots of homework to do for a while.

20 mins pitching.

Putting day.  First on my 36" ruler board.  Good day, 70% were the full length.  Then on my custom 8' putting track.  8' x 1.5', covered in pool felt, reduced hole, adjustable slope and break.  (Hobby woodworker).  Set for a slightly uphill, straight putt, made 15 of 20 from 7'.  Easy full swings after, soft arms and wrists.

May 8.

Indoors today. Spend 10 minutes working on set-up and take-away move. Need to make sure my right shoulder is relaxed on takeaway, or I tend to point/finish to left.

[SavvySwede]

About two hours hitting a bucket of balls on the range. Worked mostly on my usual pieces in the swing but also added standing a little closer to the ball and letting my arms hang down more naturally. Had very good results, even with the driver which surprised me because I tend have my arms particularly out with that club.

[Slowcelica]

I worked on my new transition piece inside without a club.

[saevel25]

Stole Erik's idea and used the patio windows as a mirror for my backswing piece.

[mvmac]

Rainy day so did my practice indoors today. Combo of slow and regular speed swings in the front room. Aoa was perfect on the carpet

[J M Brown]

Worked on chipping today in the backyard.

Today's practice:

50 - 70 yard chipping, distance control - I am getting better at this.

70 - 90 yard full wedge shots - I am getting better at this, II.

Sand shots = 19 out of 20 balls out of bunker

Ball striking practice with anti flipping in mind

15 mins outdoors with a 5 iron. Working on slowing things down from transition. Made many slow swings from the top, trying to get the correct sequencing to a full finish.
