"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge April 2017

[b101]

19/4/17 - Spent 10 minutes on the putting mat using a very narrow gate to try to focus on start line (about a ball and a quarter). Was definitely getting more through the gate by the end of the 10 minutes than at the start, so I'll keep trying it!

April 19 - shoulder turn work today. Letting my elbow rest today. It felt good yesterday but after PT and chipping, it was a bit sore today.

April 19th:- 10 mins full swing practice at lunchtime, followed by a further 10 mins after work. Concentrating on more dorsi flex in the right wrist at A2, then slow swings to the top, pause, and swing through.

50 min

sklz, 7 Iron and driver

stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings. 3/3 alt 7i and driver, plus bonus set alt pump and full swing with 7iron and same set with driver

chipping: 4/11 start and beat on first round. Need first set to improve and still lacking drill

4/19: Just a bit of wall drill and putting tonight after basketball with the kids.

4/19:  20 min. range session; focus on keys from last night (slower swing to drop properly into slot, a little more cover [which gave me better contact for sure])
10 min. putting session; focus on 5', 10', 20' ranges
Walked 9; just played and didn't think too much--recent short game work most definitely showed

4/20/17:

Wedges and putting this morning. Mostly focusing on tempo. And feel... But my higher lofts are not interacting with the ground correctly though.

April 20th:- Further full swing work for 20 mins. The position for the correct right wrist bend at A2 is starting to feel more natural.

[boogielicious]

April 20 - Short game practice for 45 minutes. Played one ball around the green after warming up. 

[roamin]

4/20: 10 minutes of pitching practice in the yard. Playing in the morning.

[Mico]

20 min Sklz, 7i and driver

stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings

3/3 alt 7i and driver

did work out w/ slow speed swings to focus on getting form right. Still manage to mess up and sometimes get distracted too

golf this weekend is in danger of being replaced with social activities, hmmmm

[BamaWade]

4/20:  5 minutes posture and plane drills using Momentus; some pauses at all check points early, then swings through to finish

[b101]

20/4/17 - a short range session working on speeding up my priority piece. 8i swings were excellent but less so with 6i and above.

4/21/17:

Hit some wedges this morning focusing on facing the target with my chest and body on the finish.

April 21 - Mirror work with the Impact Snap Training Aid. Saw this in another post and I thought I'd give a try and write a review. It is along the lines of what I am working on with my Evolvr instructor anyway and it doesn't put stress on my elbow.

4/21: Got to the range and spent about an hour working a small bucket. No video, but just tried to stay aware of all the elements I've been working on at home. After spraining my knee, and then driving 2500miles up and down the east coast, it was good to get outside and just swing the club smoothly. I tried to just go at the ball about 75% with decent form. Will shoot for video submission next week, and update swing thread.

April 21st:- 15 mins further full swing work. Concentrating on moving the arms and shoulders together, and only moving these (keeping the legs as still as possible), until A2.

[Mico]

45 min. Sklz, 7i and driver

stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings--enormous troubles getting through full swing set with driver using proper form

3/3 alt 7i and driver

increased distance on chipping exercise--mistake! Went 0/11 on first round and trouble cleaning up all 11 to close out

rearranged my sked so I get to go practice AND play tomorrow!!! Woohoo!
