"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (May 2015)

[Shindig]

Five minutes with a hangar, and I can't seem to swing that slow enough to feel like it's helping this time. It's been a week since I was at the range. Will fix that tomorrow morning, weather permitting.

May 16, (16 in a row)

Spent 15 minutes this morning working on my chipping again...  Had to get it in early -may not have the chance later-

[boogielicious]

Played 18 yesterday, walking on a hilly course.  Before the round I worked on my drill.

[krupa]

Missed yesterday (but started late anyways so wasn't in it for the badge).

Just got back from an hour of chipping and putting practice.  I really like that "chipping with a putting method".  Need to practice it more but definitely saw better results from what I had been doing.

[boogielicious]

Spent a few minutes working my new drill.  This drill uses a long shaft/alignment stick combo that I have to swing under.  I don't have a screen shot.  But the intent of the drill is to help me flatten the shaft at A5 and stop any over the top move from A6 to impact.  I think this may help a bit.

Messed around with full speed swings with a right elbow feel. Thuddy toe impacts my old way occur semi often. None in 10 minutes with this feel.

[Huddo]

Slow full swings at the range before playing 18 again. Broke 90 for the first time!

[RFKFREAK]

Did today's 5 minutes before going to play this morning.  Focused on my knees being closer together at impact.  Wow, did I see improvement, particularly with my ball flight.

[Shindig]

Did short practice putts (inside 10') for about five minutes. Did a few longer that broke for a few minutes after that, trying to estimate the break (my limited understanding of AimPoint) and see how it felt versus what it did. Weather seemed too poor to go to the range. Maybe tomorrow, definitely during the week if not.

[Lihu]

Did more swing speed variation drills and focused primarily on keeping my hands close to the body, but it was still wet and drippy so I didn't setup the phone to take video. Was able to do 2 slow (slow motion) "swings", then a bunch of relaxed arm swings. All with PW. Hit a few balls with the other clubs after that.

Weather seemed too poor to go to the range. Maybe tomorrow, definitely during the week if not.

I love this weather, it means more water. . .

Went to the range today to work on the hip piece. When I do about 4-5 slow motion swings, not hitting a ball I get a better result on a full swing. Looks like the way to go for me right now till I can get the piece to be repeatable. Still not sure how I can get my hips more open. I try to really get them open and it just doesn't happen as much as I want.

Played a tournament today and posted about it in the member tourney thread. My ball striking was poor, so I spent 30 minutes after the round in the range.

[isukgolf]

Played 18 today ... practice pace and speed on the green before the round. As far as swing goes ... why oh why will I NOT trust what I practice, why do I feel I need to help the ball ... pisses me off because I am the only one controlling it ...

[Slowcelica]

Practiced setting my wrists earlier in the backswing in front of a mirror inside.

[iacas]

I did another several minutes while watching the golf from earlier today on the DVR.

I did another several minutes while watching the golf from earlier today on the DVR.

Now that is loving golf, practicing golf while watching golf.

[WatchOutLeft]

Busy day so I just did about 10 minutes of easy swings. From now on I'm going to try to always practice with either a mirror or a camera so I can make sure I am doing what I think I am doing.

Did some 40 - 70 yard pitching practice on grass range.
