"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge March 2017

[boogielicious]

3/4-mirro work at the gym because it's 12 degrees out. Focused on my new Evolvr lesson work, more turn with the hips from A4-6.

3/04  (Part II) - pitching in front yard x 45 mins. Primarily trying to figure out distances with varying swing heights for 20, 30, 40 yd distances. Improving. Did more wall drills throughout the day.

4/3/17 (got yesterday's post's date wrong) - managed a mini practice session at the course and practised 7iron chips from around the green by making it more like a putting stroke and trying to take the hinge out of my wrists. Also did some more range work on a similar line to yesterday, but with a 15mph wind into, I also worked on knockdown shots and flighting my wedges, with good success.

[DeadMan]

Went to the range and worked on my full swing for about an hour - focusing on address and keeping my hands inside the club on my takeaway. Got some decent changes.

Also worked on putting for about 20 minutes and chipping and pitching for about 30 minutes.

3/4: just 5 min doing centered hip and shoulder turns

[coachjimsc]

3/4 Practiced putting and chipping on the practice green today.

Trying out a new putting grip.

I like it so far.

3/4: Shot a pair of 93's today. Six pars in each round and a birdie in the second. I just have a way of finding doubles (and triples the second round ). I hit 7 greens in the second round and had a total of 16 (n)GIRs... just couldn't recover when it counted. Had a great day though.

5/3/17 - Played 18 and with all the swing work I've been doing, it was really nice to hit the ball as well as I've ever done. Driving was a massive strength, with a high of 324 yards (slightly downwind) and most comfortably clearing 250. Most pleased with the improvement in iron play and when I get the hip bump right to start my transition, it's flying so much better. More work planned for the week ahead with the next rounds at the end of the month; it's getting there! Annoyingly, Game Golf seems to have lost the round when uploading, but I'll edit in some stats tomorrow when they show up.

3/05 - wall drill for centered hip turn

[boogielicious]

3/5-shoulder and hip turn work only. My left wrist and right knee are sore, so I took it easy today. 

[roamin]

3/5: Took some video of my full swing with 56^o, 9-iron, and 6-iron to review later. Also spent about 10 minutes pitching balls to a bucket with my wedge and another 20 minutes practicing short chips to three different targets alternating between clubs every few shots.

[Mico]

Arrived to hotel and did "wall drill" for 5 minutes. Could feel tension on inside of right leg that I don't feel when doing practice swings

also feel pain in right foot that has been nagging me since January...

[DeadMan]

Did about half of hour mirror work and hitting the ball into my net. I think a found a decent feel for my downswing piece, which is trying to make my back shoulder to rotate faster.

[coachjimsc]

3-5 Driving range today. Worked on longer clubs, 6i, 3w and Driver. 

Also putting from long distance outside 30 feet and 6 footers.

[RandallT]

3/5: 10 minutes elbow focus on backswing. Used ball between arms drill from instructor. 

[woodzie264]

3/06 - kettle bell swings, wall drills at gym.

[Baculus]

Haven't seen this thread until now so Ill just give it a dry run for March @iacas so I get in to the habit of posting here. 

Today after work I hit approx 50 balls w/ driver on the range practicing the swing plane drill pushing the ball with my path inside to out shown on my swing thread. 

My short game (getting up and down, scrambling) needs work so hopefully tomorrow I'll get some pitches in because I need to practice distance control. Club's greens are being cored though so I'll see how i go, if not, practice putting on the practice green.

So, I'm out of the running for a March badge b/c I don't post same-day (I'll fix that in time for next month), but @RandallT has been gracious enough to invite me to use the thread for some self accountability.  Thus...the weekend's practice:

3/3: 10 mins. work on moving grip more neutral; 1/4 swings with wedge working on square impact position & proper hinge

3/4: 10 min. conditioning session (orange whip); 20 min. range session w/more neutral grip implemented / full swing work; walked 9 holes (practice mentality); 10 mins. chipping session; 10 mins. putting session

3/5: 5 min. grip-check session with 1/4 swings (no ball); 15 min. ~20-35y pitch session working on flighting low/mid/high trajectories
 - (I've found that I can slightly adjust my grip (mostly trail-hand) from strong -- for high trajectory/open cf pitches -- to weak, for low trajectory pitches; works very well for me...cool!)
