"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[DeadMan]

Day 321: range session. Filmed while hitting to check things. Need a little more steep in the backswing, but good check to make sure I’m still on track. Also worked on sand shots for about 20 minutes.

Day 322: did the yardstick putting drill for a while. Gotta feel like I’m pulling the putt to keep it online. But good work at it.

Day 38 (7 Jun 25) - A little mid-iron madness today with the 6 & 7 irons.  Same drill - set up, get trail hand aligned, foot positioning and then focused tempo thru the ball.

Day 250 - 2025-06-07

Played nine holes with @DrizZzY after a playing lesson with some juniors. Messed around with the new stuff from Jayson and Tyson.

Day 39 (8 Jun 25) - Threatening t-storms cut short the time in the backyard yard - managed some work with the 7i and hard foam balls, again focused on staying in the setup-swing process.  Only hit about 20 balls - taking time to walk thru each swing before making it.  Reminded me of the commercial TItleist has out about “trusting the process” as the results will follow…seeing a bit of that happening in my drills (results that is).

Day 251 - 2025-06-08

Got some swings in when a lesson showed up with a back injury. Why they didn't text last night… I don't know. 😛 So I had some time before the next lesson.

I'm doing something a bit different now. I'm folding and rolling a little more while keeping the left wrist cup, and then doing a bit less on the downswing.

Day 323: played 18. Solid +9 that should have been a +5 or better. Missed 5 birdie putts inside of 15’, although none of them were within 10’. Oh well, more chances tomorrow.

Day 40 (9 Jun 25) - an easy wedge session in the backyard…rehearsed flighted down and lofted pitches from varied distances. Focused  target point and setup on the target line.

Day 252 - 2025-06-09

Mirror work during a day of editing podcasts and other things.

[DeadMan]

Day 324: played 36. Both mid 80s, but it was a blast. Driver was excellent, irons and short game okay, putting meh.

[WillieT]

Day 41 (10 Jun 25) - Continued work with flighted pitches today - adding the 9i to the mix.  Picking random target points, going with “play as it lies” - from thick and juicy to nice and tight…solid session of confidence building those short shots around the green or when in tough lies.

Day 253 - 2025-06-10

Got some good work done due to a cancellation from someone's kid getting hoof and mouth disease. Like it's the 1710s. (I kid, it's quite common among younger kids, somehow.)

Day 325; mirror work. Worked on improving the grip as well as some feels for the downswing.

Day 254 - 2025-06-11

Planned power outage (that I only found about after the power was out), so while I waited for the Coke delivery… got some practice in. It was dark-ish, but I could see enough in the mirror.

Day 42 (11 Jun 25) - played in weekly get together with my friend and his son-in-law.  Had a great geeen side game today - of the 10 pars made - 8 were up and downs with wedges (most were 5’ or less in proximity to the hole).  Shot of the day - laying 2 on #7 (duffed the approach) just over 55yds out, hit an easy pitch with the 52° - looking for another close putt for par, ball lands and gently rolls in for birdie.   Back side was only two over thru 14, on a solid track. Got lazy and wound up bogeying each of the last four holes - for a 41 back nine.  Still a 78 for the day was a great day on the course.  Really seeing a confidence happening across the bag.

Day 326: mirror work again. A little more focus on grip, but otherwise, same as yesterday. Feeling a hard twist and going from there.

Day 255 - 2025-06-12

Played 18 holes. Started to over-do the crap out of my thing for holes 9-15 a bit, then refreshed it and finished out really well.

Day 43 (12 Jun 25) - Return of the net in the backyard as I set it back up in anticipation of some work with the R10 in coming days.  Used it to hit a few iron shots into the net with the 7i before wrapping up the session with the wedges.
