The rules are the same as last month:

  • Post every day during the month above. No back-dating or pre-dating posts or practice sessions.
  • Detail what you did for at least five minutes of practice (indoors or out, with or without golf balls, etc.).
  • At the end of the month, everyone who has posted every day will earn a special badge they can proudly display throughout the following month, at which time a new challenge for that month will begin.

Enjoy and practice hard!

This month I'm in. Just bought a mirror and hitting net yesterday. Now with a tripod, camera, and no more excuses.

I'll actually tell you what I did today later ;-)

5 minutes in the office today.

Working on right elbow feels on both the backswing and downswing.

Did 10 minutes mirror work before my workout today.  Focused on getting right elbow in front from A5 to 7.

I'm rolling into this challenge off the back of the May one. 20 mins today, in the nets. Working on the centered hip turn drill that Mike gave me. Hit about 17 balls with a 6 iron.

Okay, Back in the saddle. Let's see if I can do better than last month...

6/1: 5 minutes doing slow swings in the mirror focusing on a steady head, where my weight is during the swing. Also worked on my putting setup (eyes over the ball, looking straight out instead of down my nose).

Hopefully I'll be as disciplined this month. 5 minutes putting practice when I got home from work. Focused on bead. It's raining otherwise I'd do a distance control drill at the course practice area which I think I need to focus more on.

5 minutes mirror work on backswing only.  Slow and moderate speed movements that focus on trying to keep the club from getting inside too early in the backswing.

Let's try this again: 6/1/15: Played 9 today with my wife, I've been working a lot on "rocking the baby" with my putting stroke, I even will pick up Alina sometimes to get the visual and the feel... But today I worked on getting a little more weight forward in my pitching, and a wider arc with my full swing motion... It paid off on the par-5s today(1 and 9)... I also read LSW again this morning... Don't know that if that counts as practice...

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
