"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge


iacas

Recommended Posts

4/2 Day 2 monsoon conditions outside so I putt across the living for 10 min working on square contact and hitting the ball with the center of the club face. Then I grabbed my wedges and tried to keep bouncing the ball in the air. Almost broke the cable box and still cannot find 1 of the balls. But did improve, will it help my hand eye coordination to result in better contact? I don’t know. 

Aloha,

Day six: 20 minutes of slow medicine ball 1/2 swings to engage my core more, whilst keeping my head from dipping and working on transferring those feels to swinging a club at 30% or so. Will get some putting practice in late as well.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

4/3/18:

Day 368:

Practiced putting in the living room for about 15 minutes in the wee hours. Mostly 12-15 feet... Just line and speed getting ready to maybe get out on the course in about a week or so... maybe next Wednesday if the weather decides to cooperate.

Day Three, of year two of this challenge... All 93 days in 2018, by the way for those who wonder. @JuanTheGolfer were even on that one... Just try to keep up for the rest of the year if you can.

Day 48 - 4' putting with new claw grip on short putter working on bead...then 35ft putts for lag with it. Not bad considering new grip and back to short putter.

Thanks for the encouragement. @onthehunt526.. I will keep up.  As Michael Breed would say, "Lets do this!!"  

DAY 134    Spent 3 1/2 hours on the range doing drills from my GGGA Workbook.  Focusing on Downswing sequence and getting to my left side.    Looking forward to playing golf tomorrow.

Day 93. ? Actually I have lost count. Haven't missed since 1/1/18....lol

Chipping and putting this morning. It's a good thing I only reside 5 minutes from the course. 

Started messing around with Geoff Mangrum's green reading technique. Just trying something new to keep a higher interest level.

Day 9 - Mirror work at the gym with Yoga for Golf workout. Focused on pitch elbow feel from my lesson, feeling like the right arm is not straightening before impact.

Day 60 - April 3, 2018 - Worked on my full swing backswing pieces, feeling the right elbow or my hands farther "that way" (away from the target and, well, my head and/or shoulders).

Day 3 April 3rd, got home threw on the golf shirt and was headed up to the course next door then I realized the fairways are all torn up and the range was closed so I chipped across the back yard for several turns and then bumped and ran it many more times. Focus was on good contact, center of club, and getting the balls closely landing together.

Day 7 - Had a really good practice session this morning - spent 1 hr 45 minutes on 60 balls, which is pretty good going for me! Lots of slow-motion work and practice on the priority piece for the first hour and then spent the last 45 minutes or so on partial wedge yardages.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Day 369:

More work this morning with my A4 to A5 drill. Raining pretty hard outside so the drills were done indoors. My next lesson is a week from today. And I have a feeling Craig has another drill to build on this.

94 for 94 in 2018. Day 4 of Year Two.

Day 94

Lubed, and rotated the wheels on my Clicgear. Checked tire pressures. Gave the frame a good wipe down.:-P

Once at the practice area, it was more putting getting use to distances in relation to my back swing.  Worked off level, uphill, and downhill surfaces. 

Also spent some time practicing green reads for longer putts. Trying out a new technique that seems to have some promise.

My full swing is on the shelf for another week till we figure out my latest shoulder ailment.

DAY 135.    Spent 10 minutes on the putting green working on long putts.  After warming up on the range I played 18 holes.     GRRRR.... I hit a lot of good shots, but a few clunkers were mixed in.   Just motivation for more range work. :-)

So the Journey begins...

Day 1- Worked on 3-wood Tee Shots as well as tee shots with my Mini-Driver. Objective was to maintain 80% of my shots or better within my shot zone. I achieved 80% exactly with 3 wood and 60% with mini driver. I did my best to treat each tee shot as if it were the real deal and went through my pre-shot routine almost every time.

    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
    • Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.  
    • 44+39 for an 83. Figuring stuff out. 
    • Day 288 - putted on my mat for a while listening to a presentation. Checking my head movement in the mirror, then just focusing on a good stroke.
