"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (August 2015)

[iacas]

The rules are the same as the last few months:

• 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.). Some of you have been slacking on this - give details.
• 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!

I have a very busy August coming up so probably not the best time but I find I'm productive under pressure.

Let's see how far I get....

I promise not to slack on the details this month. ;-)

[Hatchman]

:-)Studying LSW "Eight Great Ways to Maximize Your Clubhead Speed". Then off for practice to swing faster. Very little pain this month :-)

Today I went to the range.  I hit ten balls with my feet together with my sand wedge to warm up.  I proceed to hit 5 shots of practice, then 1 normal shot.  I was working on stopping my back swing once my shoulders hit 90 degrees.

36 putts, 2 sleeves 6 times, putting to a quarter 10' away on an indoor carpet. I have three goals in mind. Roll over a spot 2" in front of the ball; roll the balls just over 10' and the same distance; and hit some portion of the quarter. Mid you can hit 6 in any one series, that is really good!

Closed face drill outside with a club.

5 minutes of the 9-3 drill swing in front of the mirror. Hitting balls outward using a stick to guide the path.

You're one of the "detail slackers" btw… You post the same thing almost all the time.

Spent 5 minutes in front of the mirror at my job working on rotating in my backswing

[isukgolf]

Spent my time outside, hitting small objects of my mat, making full swings focused on key 1 and 2. I think I am seeing some improvement in this area lately.

[AbsoluteTruths]

Spent time working on SK #2 at the office. There is a spot on the carpet that represents the ball. I think I am getting it but that will be proven at the range in the next

couple days.

[Abu3baid]

worked on posture, and then taking it back to A2 with my hands coming in and the club ending up being parallel to the target line.. Rinse and repeat for 5-10 minutes.

Hit balls at the range today, did a drill where I placed a club cover outside the ball to assist in achieving an in to out swing path.

:) less typing leaves more time for practicing!

Hi am in... Today I worked on chipping in the yard. I have broken ribs and can not do a full swing. I worked on form, keeping weight forward and keeping my hands soft. Any suggestions on threads to find drills to work on throughout the month?

[Unkynd]

Well,I practiced every day of last month and it's starting to come together. Shot a 2 over par back 9 after a terrible front 9. As for my 5 minutes, I chipped and putted before the round working on chipping it within 8 feet and making 5 foot putts. Definitely helped during the round. How's that for a slack update?

Outside, no ball.  Driver swings.  Start slow, half swings.  Stay connected, no left elbow chicken wing.  Keep head still, hip slide/turn.  Increase speed, no tension.  Feel the speed through the contact zone.  Same with 5h and 3w.
