"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (August 2015)

[Lihu]

Did some drill swings while playing.

[Hatchman]

Various distance wedge shots for 1 hour at my old course prior to playing.

[AbsoluteTruths]

Practiced at home and in the office. Working on the weight transfer in the downswing, getting a full backswing turn and not starting my hips too soon.

Did some drill swings while playing.

Tried out the tee under the dominant armpit drill. The tee never moves, not sure if it's supposed to come out at the follow through? It doesn't for me.. .

Simple putting on my green outside ...

[Unkynd]

Practiced the full swing hitting 7i on the sim.

[Sassafrass]

I worked on putting in my living room.  I focused on bringing the putter straight back in the back swing and straight through the ball during the downswing.  I also focused on accelerating through the ball.

[Slowcelica]

Played 18 today, practiced my transition piece between shots.

[Shindig]

Before my round today, I practiced 4' 8' and 12' putts, speed and line. I putted okay today -- no birdies, but very few really bad putts (compared to what I should expect from various distances, at least). I also hit a bucket at the range; a few just to A3 and through to get that well, the rest were slower swings. Did it help? I hit 8 GIR and 4 near-GIR on my way to an 83 in the first round of the club championship... including a +1 on the second nine (bogey #10, par #11-18).

Outside over grass.  Driver swings.  Start slow, half swings.  Full swings, 3/4 tempo.  No tension, feel the club fully release, full follow through.  Full swings, full speed.  Head still, no tension, feel the club fully release and full follow through.  Hip slide/turn.  I notice how much more club head speed I get when I am relaxed yet fast.  Did the same with my 3h.

8.14.15 Speed drills with Driver outside for 15 minutes today. Did the right pocket to left pocket drill.

[Lihu]

Doing some slow drills at home, and will be doing some full speed timing drills at the range.

[AbsoluteTruths]

Did some slow swings in the back yard working on SK# 1 and 2. Did some pitching practice in the office.

[onthehunt526]

8.15.15: Putted from 30', 40' and 50' on the green that not a lot of people know about... It's probably 2 feet faster than the practice green and close to the speed on the course... I was focusing on the 10% rule mostly... And actually had some excellent results... Downhill sidehill uphill

Cooled down enough to hit a few before dinner. Hit one bucket with nice short slow swings and was proud that I didn't fall pray to range competition. I did hit a few 8i and driver full speed, but that was it. Took out the Cobra Bio Cell set at 9 degrees, and got a few decent shots from it. On the course yesterday they were all over the place, but much more controlled today with a slower and more controlled swing. My current driver has a swing weight of F2 and this Bio Cell is C1-C2 with a PX6.0 shaft. Slowing my swing gave me similar results from both swing weights. One of my range buddies noticed that my swing is much slower and more controlled. I told him about my 92 yesterday, and he said for me to just relax and play the way I hit at the range today. What's funny is I might have lost a hair of distance, but gained a huge amount of control. The swing feels very "controlled", and I didn't feel any discomfort from either of my injuries today.

[Sassafrass]

I went to the range and hit a medium bucket. I warmed up with my sand wedge. I then practiced getting my weight forward in the downswing with my 6 iron.

[Unkynd]

Played 18 today and practiced putting before the round.

[Slowcelica]

Practiced my transition move by trying to move the right elbow a little more inward in front of a mirror
