I plan to do this too. I will be focusing on the stuff that is on the first few pages of my My Swing thread. I will not work on ANYTHING ELSE until I am tilted forward (for lack of a better term) and

9/24 - Cleaned out a friend's Aunt's house. While tossing each of the 60 or so bags of trash on to a pile in the garage, I focused on a centered hip turn and getting weight forward before release.

9/03 - grip, stance, slow take away, low point control, weight shift. 

After doing this for approx 2 months, I do feel things are improving, but I'm amazed at how much I have to remind myself about these things while actually playing. You would think it'd be 2nd nature by now!

9/3 - slowing down takeaway / tempo

Doing this in the mirror for 5 minutes will hopefully help me put it to use on the course.  If I don't concentrate on it, my backswing is very fast and my hands are too far forward at impact.

Extra credit today. Went to the driving range and hit some balls. Different feeling. Irons were nice and crisp and very straight. Driver was blech.

Had time to do some work in the mirror when I couldn't sleep this morning, and putting in the living room. Then spent all day with the PSB team (they won first and second place).

9/4 - off to the range this morning.  Going to use the time to work on the mirror work I have been doing the past few days.  Correct spine tilt, head down (which is also becoming a problem) , and keeping my eye on the ball (for some reason I have been looking a little past the front of the ball on my downswing and just noticed this on my last round)

Unfortunately, I'll have to bow out of the running for this month's practice award. No power for 2 1/2 days, which didn't stop me at first.. what else was there to do?... but then our water supply line burst on Friday night so I spent Saturday digging up my walkway and flowerbed and Sunday filling it back in.

I did manage to get some putting practice in the last two days and will still follow along with the practice thread daily.

9/5 - played at The Quarry at Crystal Springs.  I shot a 78 and was striking the ball very well.  2 over on the back when I dialed in my game a bit more. I had a couple 3 putts and wasn't spectacular on the greens.  I used the last few practices I have done on this challenge to help keep my setup in my head and it helped quite a bit.  Next practice sessions will be putting

More slow swings. Hoped to get out for a round today, but took a nap after we got home from the beach.

  • Practiced some putting. Was getting a tad out to the toes.
  • Took some swings with the driver. Focused on the right elbow and a good pivot.

Playing 36 tomorrow.

9/5/16:

I forgot to post yesterday. Damn. I played 36 holes on Sunday... I was so spent I fell asleep while watching a movie.

Today I worked on my irons. I missed every single iron shot I hit to the right (I'm using my back-up set that has graphite extra stiff shafts with a high kick point and frankly I am not used to them yet). Thinking about going back to between perpendicular and three-quarters for my backswing. For whatever reason I make more solid contact doing that.

9/06 - grip, stance, take away, low point control, weight shift.

I noticed that I'm really not getting my left arm higher than parallel (to the ground) at peak...

9/6 - about 10 minutes of putting practice before my workout.  Concentrating on setup just like I would with my irons.  Keep shoulders back, elbows tighter and trying to take out the hand movement

      "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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      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.
