"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge September 2016

[roamin]

20 minutes of easy 3/4 shots with my pitching wedge. Focus on shorter backswing and weight forward at impact.

Spending the next few nights in a hotel. Put a pillow against the wall and leaned my head against it practicing swing motion.

9/27 - grip x 5 mins. Played yesterday and could clearly tell a difference in my ball striking after gripping a club everyday for 5-10mins for the past (almost) 3 months

9/27 - worked on my driver at the range.  thinking of getting a new driver but hit this one really well.  working on the driver stroke

[woodzie264]

9/28 - kettle bell ex's for weight shift and balanced swing. Grip, stance, low point control, 5SK #1-3 with 8i x 10 mins.

9/29 - grip, stance, slow take away, smooth swing with good balance and follow through with the Driver this morning. 

My ball striking has tremendously improved thanks to this 5-min challenge and LSW, but I've pretty well ignored my driver swing over these past 3-4 months. I find I'm usually off-balanced in my follow through with it and so this will be my new focus for a bit 

[Brian W]

9/29 - did some work with 7i and camera on phone keeping steady head as primary thought.  I move my head less than I thought

[woodzie264]

9/30 - kettle bell ex's for weight shift reinforcement, core strength, and balanced, centered turn.  

Grip, stance, slow take away, low point control, weight shift forward with 7i.

Hope to get to range today/tomorrow with new driver!

9/30 - played 18 this morning.  Shot 42/46-88.  Still not a great day on the greens but was driving and chipping well.  really need to keep working on my putting stroke

[CarlSpackler]

Went to the range tonight and hit some balls just for the heck of it. I did good up until my trip this week. Perhaps I will complete it next month.

Completed the September 5 minutes of practice challenge

This was the first time I had done this and it was quite the learning experience.  Having to spend a few minutes a day doing something for my golf game showed me how much I could actually work on every day and there are lots of things that can help from little to big things

I will keep going for sure

I would have, but I got off track at the very end with my trip to Dallas. 

So far, so good in October, but hurricane Matthew will make things interesting in the next few days.

@iacas - The Sept practice thread is still pinned and not Oct. 

[iacas]

Fixed. Thanks.
