"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (August 2015)

[Shindig]

Spent about 15 minutes (and a dozen or so range balls) on 50-60 yard pitches before my round this morning. I had 2-3 good pitches of that distance during today's round, but didn't convert any of the resulting putts (but I did hit the green 3/3 from that distance, so that's nice).

Driver swings outside over grass, no ball.  Slow at first, half swings.  No tension, feel the club release fully.  Then full swings.  Keep head still, no tension, fast not hard, smooth tempo.

Went to range today ... hit too many balls ... first part of large large bucket went really well ... then I got hot and tired ... my mistake and lesson learned. Focused on key 1 and 2 ... again really happy with first When I got tired, I just focused on 1/2 swings and making to good contact with ... thought process was pitching up on a green.

[Lihu]

2 buckets at the range. Focused on the hip turn synchronization. Did half swings and half speed swings and full speed swings.

[Slowcelica]

Did some more mirror work today with my transition, I've had a sore back for a week now, so trying to rest it a little bit.

[Unkynd]

Little different practice today. Took the family to Top Golf and practiced hitting different targets.

[AbsoluteTruths]

Practiced slow swings in the living room watching Mr Day tear up the course.

8/16/15: Played my usual 27 holes today (In 3 hours and 45 minutes, I might add)... Today I was practicing strategy... I found out I can hit a dead straight drive on 4 about 250 right into the hazard... (I managed a bogey with a hazard ball), I missed a 3 foot putt... Made a 35 foot putt, nearly holed a wedge out for eagle at 9... It was a weird day... I didn't even keep score the last 18 to be honest...

Played 9 holes tonight.

[Sassafrass]

5-10 mins of pushing my office chair with my hips.  I tried working on extending my hips forward while keeping my axis tilt.

Indoor swings.  8i.  Worked on slow hip to hip swings.  No tension, feel the club releasing.  Brush the carpet and keep the head still.  I keep working on this over and over and it seems to be paying off.  Broke 90 for the first time, 85 at the Emerald course on Maui last Monday.

[Shindig]

My warm up today was first some 50-60 yard pitches and then some full swings, focusing on going slow -- I felt I got fast yesterday. Did it work? Shot an 88, including a birdie at the #2 handicap hole. 4 GIR + 5 near-GIR and only four bad holes (but one was *really* bad). Now that the club championship is over, my practice time can be spent on longer term improvements instead of just what I need that day. No more tournament rounds for almost two weeks.

[Slowcelica]

More mirror work today, still resting my back, feels good I should be able to get back to my normal routine tomorrow.

[Lihu]

Went to the driving range and it was closed again. I didn't even notice that they have done this almost every Monday.

[JamesIndy]

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.

you have any more info about this drill?

[onthehunt526]

you have any more info about this drill?

I think it's a safer variation of Jim Flick's old board drill... 8/17/15 After a terrible day on the forking greens yesterday, I putted for 30 minutes today, focusing on following the ball with my eyes and not my head...

[AbsoluteTruths]

Spent time mapping swing in the living room. Concentrating on my priority pieces. Proper back swing hip sequencing and and weight transfer on down swing.
