"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[Bob M]

Day 10 (10/28/21) - I missed the 27th due to nasty weather and no power. Today I took practice swings with my 7 hybrid and hit some Almostgolf balls.

Day 121 (28 Oct 21) - Played 18 today with a switch-up of the irons.  Put the Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scots in took the SLDR irons out.  Steel vs Graphite, lofts about one club weaker thru the bag. Goal was to get comfortable on iron selection. Had consistent good contact, no hitting fat or thinned.  Really good day of being comfortable.

Day 368: Worked on transition feel as an extension to the punch drill. Filmed it.

Day 11 (10/29/21) - I went to opening day of a new SIM place in East Greenwich, RI called (of all things) "Shanks" today and hit about 80 balls with various clubs. "Shanks" uses the Uneekor camera system and provides the same sort of stats as Trakman. I'm planning to go back during the off season to play simulated courses. Good workout and I was able to make some club and shaft decisions based on the data I obtained.

Day 129 (29 Oct 21) - Heavy rains last night and early this morning put a damper on any course time today.  Waited to this afternoon to get out in the yard.  Based on how "high" the ball was flying off the driver yesterday, figured I would work on a the swing plane today with a couple of alignment rods, practice balls, foot spray and the little mat (has a rubber tee holder) (see pics).  Using the garage door as the ball stop, I worked on getting the driver through the gates so to speak.  The foot spray gave the feedback needed on where I was impacting the ball on the driver face.  Most were just over the midline horizontally and pretty much center of face.  Finished up the day with some pitches using the 58 and bump-and-runs with the 9i.

Day 91:

Worked on setup stuff all day at work and corrections from lesson feel natural now. I added some setup checks to pre shot routine for the time being to make sure I’m not regressing.

When I got home I worked on backswing piece. Did a drill my teacher gave me that I also saw on AMG of holding a medicine ball and passing/handing it off behind me to work on shoulder turn without twisting hands/arms excessively and then did rehearsals with a club indoors using LVP camera looking for a few things. Came up with a new rehearsal for pre shot routine to focus on this.

Went outside in the dark and hit some balls with 8-iron, working on changes to pre shot routine, and finding the ball with new motions.

Day 12 (10/30/21) - Rain today, so I practiced "use the bounce" chipping motion with my 58* wedge in the house.

[WillieT]

Day 130 (30 Oct 21) - Worked on making accurate pitches with the 8i and 50* today from about 30 yds.  With the 8i worked on making clean contact to get the ball to fly about 20 and roll the last 10.  Conversely the focus with the 50* was on getting the ball to fly about 25 or so and check up to hold to around the 30 while not trying to "help" it fly.   Had a number of groups where all five balls (shooting groups of five) finished within a couple yards of each other.  Of course when I started to "try" to help, I would get heavy especially with the wedge.

DAY 1 (again  )

Indoor range session focused on clubhead orientation during takeaway with irons. 

Experimental driver practice (moved ball forward in setup to outside forward shoulder to increase launch angle).

[60 min]

Day 92:

Same full swing stuff as yesterday, plus a little Covid-19 day 6/7 short game drills. 

[Bob M]

Day 13 (10/31/21) - Hit 9 to 3 shots with my 58* wedge and almostgolf balls.

[Darkfrog]

Day 93:

Played 18 this morning. Full swing pieces still a work in progress, so I was erratic off the tee and approaching the green, but the shots when I executed properly were real good. Putting and short game were good as well.

[HankBlue]

DAY 2:

Indoor range session with Shot Vision* app [60 min]. 

[*This app is not very arcuate and misses a lot of shots entirely.]

[boogielicious]

Day 370: Worked on my priority pieces and the feels today for about 30 minutes.

[WillieT]

Day 131 (31 Oct 21)  - More backyard work today.  Pitches with the PW, bump and runs with the 7i.  Focused on keeping the ball down, especially on the 7i bump and runs.  Hoping to get some full swing work in tomorrow. 

[HankBlue]

DAY 3:

Early morning indoor range session (focus on moving weight forward during swing) [60 min].

Day 14 (11/1/21) - Spent about 20 minutes on the "Hips Pre-Set" drill today, using my 7 utility iron and Almostgolf balls as not having my weight forward at impact is a recurring flaw.

[boogielicious]

Day 371: Started by doing the Fit for Golf GolfFlex Mobility workout at home then went to the range. I then went through a few drills, long backswing pump drill, long arc drill and my hybrid drill with the soft transition feel. 
 

I then worked through a few clubs with the soft transition. I almost hit a drone with my driver. I did not see it, but when I looked up, the ball was heading right towards it and the drone did an evasive maneuver! Hard a Port Mister Sulu!😜

It then got windy, so I finished with knock down shots.
