"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (May 2015)

[mmoan2]

About every hour at work, spent 5 or so minutes talking a break looking at my setup in the large window in front of me which has an adequate reflection. So, about an hour of "mirror work" focusing on address keys. Trying to make them feel natural. Getting there.

I spent 15 mins working on my mapping while walking my dog. My 1st mapping drill was to make sure I was getting a reverse C look after impact. My revised drill is to get my hips more forward on my backswing and my knees closer together on my follow through. I have to make sure I'm blending my new thoughts with my old ones. I was working on my new drill and forgot to keep up on my old check points.

Before work, I did the weight forward, chair drill.

After work, I stopped at the practice green to work on chipping but it was windy and cold and I was under-dressed so didn't stay long.

Just spent about 15 minutes working on putting on the rug, basically working on "steady head" for putting:  I have the terrible habit of watching the putter head instead of keeping my eye on the ball.

Range work today. Just working on my "play" swing and hitting to different targets. Picturing a lot of the shots at San Gabriel CC I'll be hitting this week.

Pretty impressive. Hopefully Callaway will replace it for me.

Pretty sure Callaway will replace it. Did you hit behind it or something?

Did not hit behind it, just a regular clean hit. Called Callaway and they said it wouldn't be covered, sounded like they would only replace it if it snapped close to the hosel. They probably have that policy to weed out folks who might have snapped it over their knee or something.

For my practice today I worked on my putting stroke for 15 minutes or so after finishing an impromptu scramble with some of the caddies from work.

Did 30 minutes of net practice until it got too dark to see. Thinking about installing a flood light (or two :-))

[Big C]

Played a round today. The golf was fun, but my scoring was poor. Working to transition the hip turn and backswing positions to the course is slow progress

[saevel25]

Played golf today, then spent some time at the range working on my transition piece.

[JKolya]

Very repetitive - elbow and wrist in front of a mirror.

[chris3putt]

15 Mins in the nets. Slow, full swings again. Still working on a centered pivot. Plus 5 Mins chipping and pitching.

[Slowcelica]

I had a driver lesson today, also worked on my transition piece, inside infront of mirror with a club.

Indoor chipping practice.  Aim point was my Shih Tzu's little dog bed.....lol!  Most went in, so good aim point.  Nice tempo.  Then some pitching using the float, soft arms.  A little work on the swing parts and a few full swings.

[rkim291968]

Did a pitch shot practice with plastic balls.  Again focusing on consistency through impact.   I need to get this to 80% consistency.  I am not getting that yet in practice or in field.  It's costing a stroke here and there.  I am going to do this drill every day hereon until I can hit at 80% consistency.  Kirk out.

This + chipping on carpet for 70 balls using LW, SW, GW, and 7i.

[WUTiger]

Practiced putts between 3 and 10 feet long indoors on my putting strip. I used my Ping Pal (made in 1970s) for the putts; this was my main putter until four years ago when I switched to the Ping Scottsdale B60. Between the two, the Pal seems to be a bit heavier. need to compare the swingweights.

Busy day, but was able to get out on my putting green and create some "3" degree practice ... I just love watching the ball curve into the hole.

[Shindig]

Dinner in the oven means I finally have time for my five minutes. Slow swings in the "dining room" (a weird name for a subsection of my studio) while the fish bakes.

[mvmac]

Hit balls working on my start lines and solid contact. Also practiced my distance control with my wedges, 40-100 yards.

[boogielicious]

Did 30 minutes of net practice until it got too dark to see. Thinking about installing a flood light (or two )

Chipping into a box outback

Full swings with driver (no ball) working on backswing and not sliding back to start my swing.

Same as yesterday
