"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (September 2015)

[onthehunt526]

9.18.15: Spatula drill working on release at work... Then I had Alina when I got out and we worked on putting together... (She almost beat me at pull-back)... We were playing to skunk rule 3up to win... She got 2 up (She's not even 2. she made a couple first putts, that I didn't)... I rallied back then she saw the geese and started running after them...so I think it was a draw...

Did some swing drills with a golf fan waiting for my daughter. Now doing chair drills at work.

2 and a half large buckets at range 2. hit 3 sets of irons and 2 sets of woods. Took the training wheels off the 3W for half the shots, and got a few decent shots. One really good one out of many.

2 1/2 large buckets? Correct me if I'm wrong, but that works out to be 250+ golf swings - Do you think that may be a tad detrimental to working on a priority piece slow and specifically?

I do about an hour a day of slow steady movement using my LW, then hit the rest of the balls using all my clubs. Some days I hit 4 buckets for exercise mainly, but only after I do the slow steady work and drills to work out my swing.

Yeah, it's just that if you are practicing with the 5 S's & taking a minute or so between shots, then 250 balls works out at over 4 hours with no breaks.

Anyway, I'm .

I already told you what I do. . .that's the "5 minute" practice which takes an hour usually. You can also quote in my swing thread if you want to inquire further.

Swing fan warm up.  Indoor swings, concentrating on toe up to toe up.  Need to work on rotating my right forearm over my left and folding my left elbow on follow through.

Outside on my putting green working on 3-10 ft putts

More mirror swings. My one very nice 3W off the deck inspired me to try to replicate exactly what I did. The video was only DTL as the range was full, but it shows straight arm along with all my other mechanics coming together nicely. So, these mirror swings are attempts to get that same exact sequence.

9/19/15: Hit 15 balls with every club in my bag, plus an XRail 4w I traded some work at the course so I could do an actual fair comparison between the 3w and 4w... I do hit the 4w very well, but I started with the 4w so I actually was grooving the 3w... As I've stated in my set make-up thread... I've been looking to turn 4 clubs between D and 5i into 3... If it was 1982 I'd have 5 clubs no matter what between D and 5i...

Practiced outside, spent some time experimenting putting while looking at the hole, versus at the ball when making contact ... looking at the ball yielded a far more accurate putt.

Putting on my 36" board.  Focused on smooth back and through stroke.  10 minutes total.  Rolled 1/2 the full length of the ruler.  Most of the rest went over half of the ruler before falling off.

9/20/15: Worked on chipping with Alina this morning for a half-hour. We were playing the up and down game, she beat me in extra holes, believe it or not..

Driving range hitting 3 irons using the mirror swing.

[isukgolf]

Outside on my mat, I practice steady head, making sure I looked at the ball through impact.

[Lihu]

Driving range hitting 3 irons using the mirror swing.

Hit 3 iron on the course off the tee.

Practiced flop shots with way too low a percentage of successes.

My swing is too flat again, and I think that's the main reason for my OTT at this point. Going to slow down again for every swing until I get it back to where it was a month ago???

[tnull]

Indoor swings.  1/2, working on toe up to toe up.  Full swings with slow tempo.  Then full swings with regular tempo.  Working on no tension and hip slide/turn.

9/21/15: Played 9 holes in 35 minutes. (Helps when you have the fastest cart we have)... Cold morning, ball didn't go very far, but boy did I score, for the first time all year, I shot level par. 36... 2 birdies, 2 bogeys. All 9 nGIR, 6/9 GIR, (I was 1/3 scrambling), hit 5/7 Fairways, Bogeyed 4 and 5 back to back then rallied with birdies on 7 and 9 to shoot even par, woulda played another 9, but I have to work 10-6 today... Could've seriously been 4 birdies in row to close, lipped out from 10 feet on 6, and missed a 7-8 footer by a ¼ inch on 8... I hit my third shot from 90 yards with a gap wedge to inside a foot on 9 though.
