"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (May 2015)

[Tgb02]

Went out to the driving range to hit a bucket and then go home cus of lots of homework but was hitting the ball so well I decided to play a round. Played 18 and shot a 90 D: 42-48. Got an 8 on the back nine then 3 putted twice in a row so overall not a bad day but could of been a lot better, just need to keep working. Really worked on not slicing my drives and not going in to out.

Went out to the baseball fields by my house and set up some cones at 10 yard increments to work on my tweener wedge yardages. Took a quick picture of my setup

Just got my evolvr lesson, and I'm going to be doing some A1 to A5 very slowly for quite some time. I just finished about ten minutes of it (and then finishing the swing at whatever pace happens), focusing on doing A1 to A5 as one fluid piece (I had been stopping at A2 and at A4). I'm going to do this for a bit more after dinner. It feels nice to get everything into one motion.

Did 5 minutes right after the Rangers-Capitals game. Still mapping the backswing, with a little downswing added in. 3 backswings, then 1 downswing. Did two sets.

Well, I will keep posting as it's a good way to be accountable with practice, and will hopefully get me in the rhythm of practicing and posting so I can get a badge in June. Today I played nine holes focusing on the same thing: right elbow and wrist, and weight transition. I was going to work at the range, but I was practicing so much and playing so little that various lies have been giving me trouble when I do play. Tonight, I worked on the same things in front of the mirror for 20 minutes.

I spent 10 minutes in the bedroom working on soft short pitches witch my 60 degree wedge

Spent 30+ min indoors practicing chipping, pitching, doing anti-flipping drill, and full iron swings.

20 Mins outdoors practice, full swing, no ball. Using an 8 iron and a 3 wood. Slow swings, working on getting the hips to move forward through-out the downswing.

5-10 minutes of mapping swings in the garage during my workout.

[oregongolfguy]

5 minutes head to wall shoulder turn. Its definitely getting better. Also working on getting arms in front...or not behind. Getting more in sync...

[tefunk]

Hit balls into the net in the basement. Focused on alignment, shoulder turn (not overturning), timing/tempo

[Golfingdad]

5 minutes mapping right elbow movement from 1 to 5, most specifically from 4 to 5. Noticed in a video yesterday that even when I might get the left wrist to stop cupping I'm still seeing the right elbow go out. Almost like the two hands are fighting each other and I'm trying to "wring the clubs neck" or something. Gonna try a feel at the range next time of my right elbow going towards the ball from 4 to 5 and see where that takes me.

[Jameson]

Did mine yesterday, focus on my driver swing. Still coming a little bit over the top, but not much. It´s getting better, like my handicap. Glad ! :)

[14ledo81]

5 min in the office working on backswing again.  Centered hip turn and keeping the right elbow in front of the shirt seam.

Its easy to fit practice in like this, and I think its still my priority.  Probably gonna be a lot more posts like this one.

As is part of my morning routine, while waiting for the gf, did my 5 minutes in front of the mirror with a club shortening up the backswing and laying down the clubhead at A4.

May 5 -

Looked at my alignment and set-up on wood floor (wooden slats perpendicular to line of flight). On driver and FW, was about 1.5 " too far back in ball position. Possible contributor to left misses yesterday. (5 minutes)

Checked my backswing motion in mirror. Seem to be sliding back shoulders rather than rotating back. Need to watch balance. (5 minutes)

Did probably 10 minutes in the garage this morning practicing chips into a bucket and rolling some few putts focusing on posture and alignment. I somehow got my putting stance all cockamamie and it completely killed my accuracy/confidence.

How far was the bucket?
