I have completed the August 2016 Practice Challenge.  That makes 4 straight months for me. Just gotta keep it up some things are better, some still need work.

8/1/2016: Short, straight putts, through a series of ball gates (with a gate around the putter as well). About 10 minutes worth. Simple, but hasn't gotten boring yet.

8/31/16: Slower backswings with a slightly faster through swing. Swinging at perhaps 60-65% of my "normal speed" I honestly don't lose much distance with it. So I think I might use this for a whi

Having a hard time finding the focus to practice properly lately. Stepped out front to hit a few in-between rainstorms and found myself rushing a lot and just not into it. Almost gave up but was able to reset and ended up having a nice little 15 minute practice session of slow backswings, pausing at top to feel hip-turn, then after a few of those, a nice easy swing at the ball.

I believe the steady practice regiment I've been following allowed me to pull myself back in and not waste today's practice session. I started out not wanting to practice and just wanting to hit some wedges for fun, but after a few bad shots I started getting a little miffed and was just swinging at the ball trying different things, telling myself it didn't really matter- I was just having fun (but in reality, I wasn't really having any fun). Was ready to call it quits for the day but then found the reset button and had a great practice. Wish I could find that button on the course!

It's been too hot for the range the last few days and I've only done some mirror work. I won't even go to the range before today's league round. It will be 96F and high humidity.

My 58 degree wedge has been giving me fits with pitching lately. So I basically said screw it and worked with the 54 degree wedge this morning on my pitching for about ten minutes. Focused mostly on the feeling of dealing cards with my right hand. My 58 degree is on temporary timeout from pitching and any kind of shot with more than just a chipping motion. If I have an 75 yard shot, I'll just hit a roughly 10 to 2 54 degree. And saw it off down to pitching motion.

Lots of rain by the time I got home this evening. Spent some time inside practicing my putting. Straight putts down the hallway at various distances, 3-8 feet.

Putting w/ Alina this morning... We did the "tee drill" to 15' first to make the fifteen footer wins. Of course Alina won. I haven't made a fifteen footer since the 17th hole at Conklin.

(oops, noticed I used the wrong date in my post yesterday, hopefully that won't hurt me :)

8/12/2016:

Finally convinced my son to come out in the yard and hit a few with me. It's funny, I've been asking, "wanna play some golf with me," and he just says, "maybe later." But tonight, as I was walking to the door I looked at him and said, "wanna come out and get beat in golf?" and he jumped right up and came outside with chest puffed up. :-P

After he went inside, I spent some time alternating between slow backswings, stopping at the top to focus on feeling of my right hip stretched away from where it started, and then an easy ~60-70% full shot.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.

      Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
