"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (June 2015)

[iacas]

Curious as to what the badge for last month's challenge will look like and when it will appear.

Like that.

Worked on my takeaway for 30 minutes.

6/5/15: Hit some pitches trying to feel as if I was dealing cards with my right hand...

[chris3putt]

Back in the nets, 20 mins full swing practice; 6 iron and 3 wood, centered pivot. Plus about 5 mins of pitching/ bunker practice.

[Jakester23]

Worked on my mapping outside for 15 mins and hit 5 full swings with my GW.  Im liking how my new feel of my modified mapping drill.  Im hitting pushes when I make good contact which is a great change from my normal pulls.

Worked on my putting and pitching tonight. I've been struggling on my inside 15 putts. I found I was aiming my clubface right, but I was aligning my body to the left (open) to much. I created a putting station where I was putting left to right putts, because I struggle on those as well. I laid down some alignment rods to help with my feet alignment. Just worked on hitting my starting lines with good setup.

Well it was raining here Phx today, but did manage to get some time in with extending my arms after impact and not doing the chicken wing thing ... I produce more chicken wings than KFC some rounds.

Hour workout.  Orange whip warm up.  Some weighted club swings (I know, but not using it for speed but it is double weighted so more like a weight work out).  Hit into my net.  9i, 8i, 7i, 5h, Driver.  Then some chips and pitches.  Then hole simulation.  Driver followed by either 5h, 7i or 8i.  More swings with no ball after followed by jump rope.

Did some drills in the living room with a 9 iron. I really need to get a new net because I've already made a few holes in the current one.

I realize it isn't strictly a fundamental, but today I'm checking my grip. I'm not really sure how to practice my grip beyond taking it a lot more carefully (and time-consumingly, as is necessary) than I do at the golf course and going back to A3 or A4 with it. A little over a year ago, Mike made some grip changes for me and I want to make sure I'm still doing them right. [i]Edit[/i] Oops, this broke the rules as is, since I posted it before, not after. Either way, I've done five minutes now, so this is the declaration that I've done so. I will do more, but I wanted to ensure I correctly marked for the contest too.

Practice swings in the yard when I got home from work. 7 iron and driver.

[WatchOutLeft]

Today I worked on hitting out of the "rough" in my backyard into my net. Lately when I get in the rough I try to do something special (I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to do and my swing is "special" enough normally). So I just worked on my mindset of making my usual mistake. Trying to cure a lot of tops and thin hits out of the rough. Cool thing happened though when I was going to the net in the backyard I came around the corner of the house and an adolescent black bear was in the yard. He took off like a shot but it was cool getting to see one so close. Had one that hung around the woods last summer but never got to see it too close up.

[JKolya]

Played 16 hitting two balls, but not chipping or putting. Focused on 1) feeling like I am standing upright on the backswing (before I was dipping my head towards the ball)and 2) the right wrist and feeling like I am dealing cards.

[RFKFREAK]

More putting practice. I think I'm in my own head at this point.

[mvmac]

Played 9 holes and tested out a couple 3 woods. Practiced on the range for about 10 minutes.

[Slowcelica]

Practiced downswing transition at the range with a club before my round today.

[fr0sty]

6/5: Chipping into the bucket in the garage (it's more of a try really) for 5 minutes going between a piece of lumber and my fairway/rough turf mat.

[JetFan1983]

I probably should have joined the fun as I do at least a few minutes of mirror work every day. Oh well, next month.
