8/29 (part II) - greenside chipping with putting technique x 30 mins over lunch break at nearby course.

*in the 5 rounds that immediately preceded my learning AimPoint Express I had a whopping 21 3-putts. In the immediate 5 rounds that followed, just 5.

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

8/29/2016:

Nothing fancy today. 15 minutes of slow swings hitting balls with my pitching wedge. Focusing on making a good turn and checking the feeling at different positions.

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 while. "Ledge" gave me this tip on Sunday. (After my match). He told me, I would be more consistent with it, so I'm giving it a shot.

As August has 31 days, I've completed the "5 Minutes Daily" challenge for August.

@iacas, how do I make text red in mobile?

Yeah, I guess the color button doesn't show up in mobile (I could add it but then the box would wrap around).

I added it.

8/31/2016:

30-45 minutes today with my pitching wedge. Bad weather is coming and it may be a few days before I can get out to hit balls, so I took advantage of the cool temps this evening and just spent some time hitting easy shots with about a 75-80% backswing. Tried to focus on keeping my head steady and watching the ball. The constant breeze made ball flight a bit unpredictable and helped me to ignore it a bit. Fun to watch the plastic balls pop up and hang in the air though.

August Challenge Completed!

Some of my posts were in the wee-hours of the next morning. I work late many nights and didn't get to post until after midnight...hopefully that won't hurt me, but I know the practice is helping so I'm good either way. :content:

      "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.

      My Swing (iacas)

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
