"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[DeadMan]

Day 124: went to the range at lunch. Worked on driver and getting feels for a shorter backswing. It feels like I’m taking a half swing, but it looks pretty decent on camera. 

[DaHolla]

Day 308 - Worked on putting my grip/backswing work together with some better hip rotation in the downswing.

Day 50 - 2024-11-19

Hit about 20 balls focusing mostly on the backswing. That's going to be my November and December.

[DaHolla]

Day 309 - More of the same, grip/backswing/downswing rotation. This time with the Divot Board.

Day 125: jam packed day, so only had time for a little putting on my mat. Worked on getting the handle slightly more upright at address primarily.

Day 51 - 2024-11-20

Played nine holes of Sanctuary Moon with a 6I while pausing in the backswing and otherwise just practicing. If you're into Star Wars, or don't actively hate it… this is worth checking out.

Day 201 (19 Nov 24) - Walked the back nine at Minnesott today, played the “white” tees with the persimmon woods and bladed irons.  It’s a challenge I really like as the clubs are shorter in overall distances.  It really forces me focus on the value of the approach game.  
 

Somehow yesterday’s post did not load / so it’s above.  Today (Day 202) I did some backyard short yardage work - 7i dink  and rolls, 9i chips and 50deg pitches - working to get it in before the rain started around noon.

Day 310 - Working on my follow-through. Higher chest, belt towards the target. Small swings at first, building to a fuller swing (still not thrilled with my short backswing).

Day 126: another busy day, so just did some mirror work. Checking set up and backswing and working on a few downswing feels.

Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

As a geezer who remembers seeing the original Star Wars in theaters - this sim is pretty kewl.  Fantastic detail!

Day 52 - 2024-11-21

Travel day, so I just brought a 6I and made some HackMotion swings in the hotel room (it definitely wasn't in an empty ballroom with really high ceilings and a slightly cushy floor).

[DeadMan]

Day 127: did a stack session. 

[DaHolla]

Day 311 - Still working on a better finishing position, but also trying for a fuller backswing. Used MirrorVision to make sure I was hitting certain position.

Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.

Sure, but how was your alignment? 🙂

Day 53 - 2024-11-22

Mirror work after getting back home. Wife is a superstar for her career/job/whatever.

Day 312 - Better finishing position, fuller backswing, PRGR to see how swing speed was.
