"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge March 2017

[Mico]

20 min. Sklz swing trainer, 7 iron, driver

stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings

all felt very good.

focus for tomorrow on the range: feel the swing when hitting a ball and measure distance with focus on lag.

focus for 18 holes with El Alemán: hit 10 of 13 fairways and play at least bogie, bogie, par every three holes.

3/25: Played 18 today. 3-man skins and my buddy kept score, so I'm not sure what I ended up with score-wise. Gave away a few carry-over holes by missing easy par putts, but otherwise a pretty decent day (and no money lost ).

25/3/17 - Another range and short game session. Staying back at my parents' today for Mother's Day so was at a very different course with muddy lies and not much grass - really made me work the bounce!

3/26: 10mins backswing review. Checkpoints from lesson notes at A2, A3, A4.  Full shoulder turn, flat wrist, right elbow in front of seam

26/3/17 - last bit of preparation for the next few days of golf. Putting indoors with the metronome and really focusing on start line. Need to feel like I rock my shoulders and push my hands a little outwards, but the ball is rolling well (at least, on the mat...). Fingers crossed I can putt like this from inside 10 feet tomorrow!

3/26 - Wrist still a little sore so I just did some putting in the basement. 

[Hatchman]

3/26: Swing and contact patten work followed by course tee practice.

3/26 - centered hip turn while hitting foam balls in backyard 

[Mico]

Bucket of balls at the range. PW, 7 iron, 4 hybrid, 3W and driver

good lag, nice easy turn

distance often short but contact was good

3/25 in addition to my five daily minutes on backyard swings went to the range and hit about 45 balls.

sw gw 9 8 7 6 5 23 hybrid 

Dispersion was good good shots on the line small misses staying right.  Hit one weird 8 that missed twenty yards left let go of club haha. Hit a couple small draws that fell left but nothing to get concerned about

really I enjoyed my 5 the most I was very aware of not getting ahead of it as I am prone to on longer shots and keeping a bit more patient and stable coming down and through.  Really hit a couple that came off well with good height.  I can tend to hit a bit too low on longer shots sometimes and that can be bad.

The kids next to me were excited I was leaving half a large bucket...Pay it forward-no need to grind.

i don't range much so if it looks like it's working I leave.

3/26: Played 18 today and shot a 91. Lots of pars and doubles. Took a while to get the driver working right and I seemed to pay for it every time. Still trying to hit a push draw on the course because they're working great on the range. Everything was still mostly going straight or straight-fading...until the 16th hole. Dogleg left and I hit a drive up the hill that went a little too far left. I had about 190 to the pin with a big oak tree in the way. Lined up just right of the tree and hit a beautiful, high push-draw with my 3-iron that curved around the tree and landed on the front of the green and rolled out to about 30 feet away, almost pin-high. 3-putted for bogey from there, but it didn't matter, I was elated that a shot had actually started right and curved back like I intended. 

I hit about 10 shots on the range after the round just for fun. Perfect, high-draws with my 7-iron. Every shot.

3/27 - wall drill followed by slow swings. I hope to make new post in MySwing thread Wed

[BamaWade]

3/26:  15 mins. conditioning work w/OW & Momentus; 5 mins. broom drills; 30 mins. full routine/swings (w/ball); Cool-down: 5 more mins. broom drills; 10 mins. OW (focus on balance, full turns, and lead/lean into A7.

[RandallT]

3/27: Range time to focus on putting it all together to conquer my steepness. Lots of slow swings on video. I did successful swings earlier in the month on video where I basically dribbled the ball off the mat. Trying today to speed that up to 50yd or 100yd shots. No success yet, as I think I may have even become steeper than I started last year! Ugh. Back at it this week with nice weather. Might play Wednesday.

3/27 - Mirror work at the gym. Wrist is feeling better but I just did slow swings. Focused on centered hip turn and my Key 3 work.

[Hatchman]

3/27: Continued working path / contact 30 minutes, then went to a different course to work on the swing with 400+ yard par 4's (417, 459, 406, 445, 461, 473) and longer par 3's (180, 197, 222).  Getting ready to play an event at a 151 slope course next month.  Hit some pretty solid shots, a few cuts I wasn't happy with, and several draws that put me in fair position.  Overall, a 6 maybe 7 tops.  Still have a month.

[roamin]

3/27: Took things a bit easy tonight. Just 10 minutes or so hitting easy pushes/push-draws with my pitching wedge and plastic balls. I'm playing in a tournament for the first time in a couple weeks...gonna re-read the tournament prep section of LSW tonight and formulate a plan.

23 min

sklz, 7 iron and driver

stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings

execution rule in effect: if one swing is not done right, go back 1 in sets of 10 swings each

did a bonus round of how slow can you go (no drinking involved this time), it was hard
