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

10 minutes mirror work at the gym. Easy swings focused on jump feel and knee slide from A5 through impact.

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.

Raining today when I got home. :-(

Short putts in the hallway for about 20 minutes and a few minutes of mirror work doing "wall drill".

      My Favorite Putts

      By Clemsonfan ·

      August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.
