"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge December 2016

[Patch]

We played 18 holes today. Four of us got together for just a fun time, in near perfect weather. So, I guss you could say we practiced having fun.

"Thumped" the mat this evening. Still focusing on not cupping wrist in backswing.

Spent an hour at the chipping green today. Flopped over the bunker and did short to medium chips from man made terrible lies. Also hit several out of the bunker trying to get to 3'. Great little session, tons of fun !!!

12/13: 10 minutes backswing work. Primarily A3 to A4 focus with a more correct (and less laid off) position at the top. Flat left wrist. Feeling more and more natural.

Day 14. Woke up sick this morning. Have contracted the industrial strength crud that is going around. Pretty sure I won't be swinging any clubs for a day or two. Even worse the weather guy is forcasting rain for the next few days. So, any golf stuff I migjt do, will be in the form of reading about it. Right now I am going to start reading bits and pieces of Penick's Little Red Book. Just a good little read from a fine old golfer. 

[RandallT]

12/14: 15 minutes reviewing A4 positions in past lessons. Worked slow motion A3 to A4 drill. Then regular speed, looking in mirror after getting to top.

12/14 - chipping with putting stroke x 30 mins on "quick" carpet at work

[Strat-Pack Rick]

Got Off Early !!! Went to the practice area at my home course. Spent a lot of time pitching to flags and putting. Practicing Aimpoint kinda on my own. Did hit the range and went through my bag. Here are some pics of my practice area.

Solid 80s, very cool. it will come.

why are you talking about breaking 80 on the "breaking 90 thread"? as my nephew used to say, " That not nice."

@Mico Well because ive broken 90 and I havent broken 80. Its the goal of everyone in the Breaking 90 thread , to break 80. When I finally break 80 I will be worthy of posting in the breaking 80 thread. I tell ya though, these peeps in the  90's thread are great. I sure hope alot of them if not all come with me. I will always talk with these guys/gals. We have grown together as golfers. Its the best. Hit Em Good Bud !!

Doing more swings out back. Really hope my muscles start to develop some memory soon.

Makes sense. Sounds like when you find a foursome or play with the same early morning crowd at your home course.  Great camaraderie! Every one  knows each other and his own brand of golf craziness. Stick to the short grass.

12/15 - 15 minutes mirror work. Focused on centered hip turn then getting the hips going forward to start the downswing. Mostly slow swings.

[Strat-Pack Rick]

Working the line drill and still head while hitting into my net. Also flat left wrist at impact.  Chipping into my laundry basket from all over the place. (actually doing laundry too, haha ). Working on my yardage book tonight !

[CarlSpackler]

Wife and son left for Ohio. Set the net up in the backyard and hit some balls using my handy dandy mirror for the first time.
