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

5-10 minutes of easy swings. Some slow-mo work in between shots, but I had a hard time finding focus. Found myself getting the urge to just hit ball after ball without really practicing so I went ahead and just called it a night. :/

Slow swings in the mirror this morning. Worked on my transition and not getting too quick.

Mostly working with half to three-quarter swings today, hoping that next weekend, all this work pays off. Otherwise, I'll just John Daly it.

Played a round from the front tees with my wife today. Shot an 81 and had a lot of fun.

Practiced chipping around the yard for 10-20 minutes this evening, followed by about 20 minutes of putting. I set up some gates with coins at 1 foot intervals and practiced putting through them from 3, 4, and 5 feet.

8/20 - scramble tourney today. Worked on increasing distance off the tee once we had a safe ball out there. Approaches were great, putting average. Good to get out

8/20/16:

Played some holes today.... Sort of a practice round.... Didn't keep score anyway.... I'm only keeping score from now on if I'm in a tournament or whatever.

Mostly worked on GamePlanning and mapping out my spots and figuring out where all the trouble is for buffer zones and such. 

Hit some 40-60 yard pitch shots and chipped from various lies and various spots around the greens.

Went to the range for a bit today until the lightening came. Worked on nice easy swings with my 58W, 7i, 6i, 4i, 4H, 3W, and Driver. Just trying to stay loose and be ready for my round tomorrow.

Played a round today and it was terrible score-wise, but I had a great time and hit a lot of good shots... just hit a lot of bad ones as well. :8)

Practiced one-handed shots with my lob wedge this evening. 20 shots with right hand, then 20 shots with left hand. Then hit a few full shots for fun.
