"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (February 2016)

[boogielicious]

Mirror work at the gym before my workout. Same priority items with slow swings and mapping.

[MiddleTees]

Continue yoga, medicine ball and backswing drill. Today I noticed a new verbal key when pretending to hit ball in backswing drill finish. A vocal "boom" when reaching impact and visualizing ball floating with a draw to the middle of the fairway.

Lots of mirror work today since the range was closed. Im still working on my downswing pivot and regaining my forward flexion. I also worked on my takeaway by making sure my hands are going and the clubhead is going out.

Got my latest evolvr lesson back.  I am getting the shaft laid off at the top, and my right elbow stays tight to my body until I transition to the downswing.  It comes off a little bit, so my priority piece is keeping my right elbow glued during the downswing.

For practice, I went to the range and worked through a bucket of balls with my 7 iron.  Like any other time I add a new piece, ball flight was just awful.  I stayed the course, however, and didn't let myself lose focus of the priority piece just so I could make the ball "go".  I'm no longer embarrassed by duffing shots while I've got my camera set up--it will pay off in the long run.

Work on the two main priority items ....  A4 top of swing path and rotation. Spent time working on this inside with practice balls.

Doing more stretches and backswing rotation drills.

Played the first 6 holes of the shorter course, then 1-4, 6 ,7-15 on the longer course for 20 holes of golf. No scoring, but hit a few good shots here and there.

[Lihu]

More stretching and practiced making full turns.

Nice day here. Feb sun is warm and after 50 degrees and rain yesterday snow is melting away. Did some walking, about 9 holes worth, hit some balls into net in barn and did my gym routines of yoga,. Medicine ball and backswing drills. 

[adam3553]

Practiced at the range today. Im still working on my pivot mainly in the downswing. When I got home I did some mirror work focusing on my takeaway, and making sure my hands go in and the clubhead goes out.

Hit balls out at the field behind work. Practicing straightening the left leg sooner on the downswing per my last Evolvr lesson.

Raining. Still lots of people out on the course and on the range. Doing drills inside.

[Dave325]

Spent some time re-reviewing my last Evolvr analysis and took some more notes. Worked on the 1/2 swing inside, then took it outside to work on the driver and 6-iron. Working on priority items... Shallow out the shaft at A4 and pausing before downswing. Trying not to swing with the hands and using the hip and shoulder rotation to bring the club path through to the ball. 

Spent a couple hours in the garage this evening working on the full swing irons and hybrids with sme priority items. Finished off the day with some chip / pitch target practice.

Got rained out today, so I spent time working on my GamePlan for the 4-club tournament I have on Sunday. I've worked out that 3W, 7i, SW, and putter will be my best combo.

[Lihu]

Raining. More full turn drills.

It was 72 degrees here yesterday, so I went to the range and hit a bucket of balls.   I changed my practice routine to where I change club on every shot.   I don't repeat the same club over and over like I used to.  I imagine playing a round of golf: driver, iron, driver, 5-wood, wedge, and so forth. 

Never hit the ball better in my life.   I'm working on relaxing my hands and arms, especially on the downswing, maintaining lag, getting on plane, and sort of aiming my hands at a spot in front of the ball.  Whether this good ball striking can be carried over to an actual round is the big question.  

[MiddleTees]

Yoga, medicine ball and backswing drill then hit a few shots into net in barn. Whole session was about an hour and a half. 

[adam3553]

Practiced at the range today. Spent my time focusing on my downswing pivot. Made very slow swings making sure Im doing it right. Practiced some pitch shots toward the end of the range session.

[coachjimsc]

Did some mirror work on straightening the left leg at about A6 forward.

Also worked on putting, trying to keep the ball on the metal yard stick.
