"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge March 2017

[woodzie264]

3/08. Part II - went to range today. I have never hit the ball so well; thank you, @iacas & @GolfLug! I still have a lot of work to do, but that wall drill has been a miracle worker already

8/3 - more slow mirror work on takeaway and getting to top of backswing, trying to fit pieces together. Didn't manage much more than 10 minutes, sadly, but enjoying it - quite therapeutic!

3/8: putted for 30min with a level and got a feel for breaks at 10ft with two different slopes. 

Then hit a few balls on range to get a swing for the day.  Was pulling left and pushing right, so a bit panicked to start. Didn't know which would show up. 

On course, shot 86 on par 71- not too bad for me. Typically hitting pulls and draws during round but managed to get around with it.

@RandallT, nice round! Not a bad score for military golf

3/7: A little bit of everything today...

• 15 minutes of slow motions swings focusing on hip turn, and hitting a ball every few swings
• 10 minutes of pitching, focus only on consistent setup and hitting start line
• 20 minutes of putting, focus on hitting start line

3/8: Ditto without the putting.

3/8 Practiced SW and 3W at lunch. Then worked on putting and chipping after work. 10 and 30 footers up and down hill 3% slope.

3/09 - wall drill

[DeadMan]

3/8 - Worked on my transition for about 10 minutes. Working on getting my elbow to stay connected with my body, and my right shoulder to come down in transition. I think I have a decent feel for it. Hopefully, I'll get to the range and take some video of it this weekend.

9/3/17 - 5 minutes of putting with the metronome again

[RandallT]

3/9: range day. Lotsa slow motion swings and video recording.  Learning that a full shoulder turn and good hand depth in slow motion is hard- but is critical for me to get the club shallowing from the top.

I tend to stop short of full turn and hands don't get as deep when I slow swing down- unless I really focus.  Once I do focus on that, however, the other pieces feel more natural and require less manipulation to achieve it seems

3/9 -Mirror work and impact bag work at the gym. Focused on turning hips more from A4 to A6 and key 3. 

[coachjimsc]

3-9 Hit balls at lunch. Slow swings with 3 wood while hitting off a mat. Balls are going about 100 yards total. Same drill I am doing with the short irons, get open with the hips and torso. It was a little better than yesterday.

Man, this one is going to be tough.

Clubhouse in São Paulo. Did 45 minutes practice on launch monitor. They lent me Mizuno irons and Taylormade woods. Swing was average--straight, but inconsistent. Lost lag with frequency so not much power. Didn't feel like wall drill did much. Got tired quickly

had a ton of fun tho!!!! Place was great and got my golf fix!! Highly recommended. Practice plus played 18 holes on St Andrews (the old course, of course), plus two beers for a total of 70 bucks!

3/9: A little under the weather, but managed 5 minutes of wall drill, twice today.

[woodzie264]

3/10 - kettle bell swings for balanced weight shift with focus on centered hip turn; more wall drills.

[woodzie264]

3/10 - working turn with weighted bar to work on balanced centered turn

[b101]

10/03/17 - 5 minutes practising takeaway at work. Realised that I've been getting too 'inside' when the shaft is horizontal, so lined up with a table on the line of my feet extending away from me and tried to avoid hitting it. Really useful, but the natural tendency was then to lean more into my toes, so have to work hard to avoid that now!
