July 31

Practiced putting indoors from 4-8 feet.  Felt good, getting more consistent ball striking but need to develop better feel on longer putts.  Will also try to hit 54 and 58 degrees wedges into chipping target if I can squeeze it in.

I have completed the July Challenge and wish to claim my award!

July 4 - went to the range.  Despite advertised as about 25 balls, it was more.  Perhaps the guy filling them was generous.  Maybe it was related to my amazing clothing for the day, consisting of blue

Excited to give this a shot!   I spent 20 mins this morning chipping into a chipping net working on controlling trajectory.  I've been skulling too many chips lately, and I want to make sure I'm

Worked on irons today. Mostly trying to stay on plane and in-line impact. After yesterday, I realized this is a glaring weakness that needs to be addressed.

This completes the July practice challenge for me.

(I did miss one day due to my internet at home beinh repaired)

Even though I did not succeed for July, I wanted to post today's practice anyway. 

Went to the range, small bucket, outdoors, grass, with ball.  Worked on hitting slowly.  Tomorrow will be faster, as I'm playing Wed-Thurs.  I will try to take video tomorrow of my slow practice swings so we (collectively, whoever wants in) can determine how slow my slow swings are and whether I'm achieving the slow down.  I think that's the biggest thing I learned about practice this month:  that I was deluding myself about part of my practice routine, and hopefully I improve on that going forward.

Do not give me the achievement as I missed two days.  This post was because I want to continue posting my practices as they happen.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

I'm so bummed.  I posted 30 of the 31 one days and forgot 7/31.  I returned from a 4 day golf trip to Kokanee Springs in BC, Canada and took the kids to Silverwood,  a local amusement park.  I fully intended to do my 5 minutes of practice but completely forgot until this morning.  :-(  Back to the drawing board and I will try again this month.  Local Amateur tournament this weekend... 54 holes.

      I’m thinking maybe Jason Day read my post. He’s sitting a -3 two off Rory and Burns.

      Is it only the weekend broadcasts that have a low commercial count?  I feel like it has been a long while since I last watched a Thursday of the Masters, so maybe my recollection is off.  I feel today has a lot more than four minutes per hour of commercials, and far fewer of the fun stories they tell during the Sunday broadcast.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, I do slide my hips like 7 inches towards the target before impact. PGA Tour average is like 3 inches. I’m not Scottie Scheffler who can get away with it. 🤣 He slides a ton.  For me, I have to feel like I basically just turn. Though, I’m probably over exaggerating a bit with that one video because I’m really trying to push off with the left leg which sends the hip backwards. Ideally, I would be able to get my weight over to the outside of my left foot at impact and into the finish. It’s probably OK that I can slide about 7 inches as long as it’s like only three by impact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine.

      I managed to get the full afternoon to watch (Pacific time, so the ESPN broadcast began at noon).  I just saw the first shot I feel like commenting on:  Adam Scott's tee shot on #16 was really good, especially after having what might be the worst kind of Maltese Falcon on #15.    I didn't used to like him, but the past few years he's grown on me quite a bit.
