"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge January 2017

[Mico]

20 min

Sklz swing trainer. Feel lag, sequence and deliver from inside.

7 iron feet together swing around body and try to get club to snap thru without arms. Spread feet and repeat with "Y" swing and then again with "L" swing

Finally, pump drill with full swing. Try to slow swing to achieve lag and natural whip thru. Tension in hands from pump seems to promote fast swing

Repeat excersize with driver. 13 correct swings before each sequence is considered done. Fail one swing and go back to zero

20 minutes of carpet putting tonight....and a few chipping with the PW.

1/23: Walked 10 holes this evening after work, shot 12 over. Just couldn't get a par putt to fall.

Heading out right after work with no warm up has caused a little trouble early on, seems to take a few holes to find a good swing. Today I started off using a "flighted" 3/4 shot like the post below:

Worked really well, right off the bat. I used the swing several times in the round, with everything from a pitching wedge to my 5 iron. I like it a lot, but I need to hit the range to work out yardages.

Mirror slow swings before and after work today. 

[CarlSpackler]

Almost forgot this evening. Not feeling up to it, but did some half (slow) swings inside.

1/24 - kettle bell swings for balanced weight shift w/added focus on steady head. Also hope to get some greenside chipping (with putting method) in today.

[Wanzo]

25 slow mo swing with mirror to focus on arms stopping when turn stops and also keeping head steady especially to start down. 50 reps of wall drill to reinforce hip turn. Some pitches and putts. 

[PabloMoorzio]

55 balls at range with a #8 iron again. Just keep swinging...just keep swinging

[boogielicious]

1/24 - 15 minutes mirror work before my workout. Focused on key 3 again.

1/24.  Spent the morning working on new Evolvr piece.  

[roamin]

1/24: Hit the range at lunch today. Practicing and measuring 3/4 "flighted" shots with PW-5 Iron. Crisp, straight, and consistent with PW-8. Started slicing them a bit with the 7-5 irons. I was probably going a little fast, since it was my lunch hour, and I noticed it was very easy to get lazy with the shot and I think I started swaying back again on the backswing. Will have to take some video soon and work on the shot in slow-mo.

1/24: Got out to the range in the morning. Bit windy and chilly, but it'll do for January! Took video and submitted to Evolvr, with my last piece in mind. Had a bit of difficulty getting those feels that I've had from the daily practice here at the house (flat left wrist mainly). But I THINK I saw some improvement. Of course, now that I'm back home, I can't believe I didn't remember better at the range some of the breakthroughs I've had here in my foyer!

28 min

Sklz trainer. Slow long, lag swings

7 iron, short sweeps with feet together and wrists loose to feel turn and whoosh thru, Y swings with feet farther apart and loose wwrist and whoosh brush thru, L swing same drill.with normal stance

pump swings with 7 iron. Felt my right hand laying down more and doing less work

Same routine with driver. Helps to stop if can't complete repititiions with whoosh thru and start from zero doing it more slowly to make each one count

scheduking lesson number 2 with Erika Larkin for Feb. 11. Need to show some change

 

 

[CarlSpackler]

Swings out back while I was grilling dinner. Still focusing on rotating hip back key 1. I am going to beat this thing to death. 

[NCGolfer]

Small bucket at the range today.  Confirming some of the things that I've been working on.  Some slow swings in between club changes.

[Lihu]

Back to the daily practice. Mirror work on Key 2.

Working on key 2. I'm not shifting my weight properly because my "natural flaw" is coming back to bite me. Going to continue work on my hip flexibility as well as flaring out my feet. My stance was also too narrow and it led me to making a center pivot that was too vertical.

[Lihu]

Did some mirror work in front of my office window which is like a mirror early in the morning and late at night. Got my PVC pipe "golf club", and am checking key point.

My hip muscles start getting stiff and that's when my swing gets really bad. So, I'm developing some hip loosening stretches and "range of motion" exercise for my particular situation.

[Wanzo]

some early morning wall drills and mirror work.  I should get a chance to hit some balls into the net this evening, working on my current evolvr priority of keeping my head still on the down swing.
