"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[Bob M]

Day 94 (01/25/22) - Spent 5 minutes swinging a weighted (about 5 lb) club, mainly hip to hip length swings trying to be fairly slow and rhythmic. Plan to work up to longer periods of time and longer swings between now and March.

Day 34: 1/25/2022

I felt like changing things up a bit today. So, I did speed sticks. I have to say.... I felt pretty slow. 

Then I looked at the Swing Speed Radar and it confirmed it... I was slow.

Day 48 (25 Jan 22) - played 18 today.  Experimented with using different clubs on the approach shots.  For example going with a 5i and maybe 8i in on a par 5 rather than a fairway and wedge in.  Made for good use of all the clubs.

Day 86, January 25, 2022

Hit 7-irons and 6-irons today while waiting for a GEARS thing to upload to my Dropbox. Did them at some speed, with some rehearsals in between. More of a checkpoint day, to see how I'm doing, what my status is.

Day 456: Back is improving with stretching and exercises but still only did setup work.

Day 21: More mirror work. Still working on set up - knees bent and hips more over my heels.

Day 95 (01/26/22) - Did putting "bead" work today. I don't have a metal yard stick so instead used one of the lines on my putting mat, stopping the ball with a pillow to make sure it had stayed on the line. Then setup two balls about 1/2" wider than my putter head on each side putted w/o hitting either ball. Finally did the same thing with a gate set 3' out and putted until I was able to stroke several balls in succession through the gate and without hitting either side ball.

Day 457: Back is feeling better but stayed inside and worked on setup and punch drills. Did a bit of chipping and pitching too.

Day 49 (26 Jan 22) - Today I started working on the drill suggested to me on my page of the Member Swing forum.   Working on eliminating the chicken wing in the swing.  Back story - motorcycle wreck in ‘16 left me with a left foot w/no toes and grafted skin.  As such learning how much weight it will bear in the swing has me chicken winging to protect it.  This has been evident in every video I have of me making a swing.  Folks here recommended a drill for elimination of the c-wing.  Focused on the sense of weight on the lead foot, ever so slight hip shift, and maintaining the arms.  Finished with very easy swings with the 52 and 9i - no more than 1/4 to me swings.

Day 22: Did a super speed session.

Day 35: 1/26/2022

I had like three 10-20 minute sessions today. Of course I did my mirror work. Don't underestimate mirror work. I think its helping me with my priority piece.

I also did a few putting drills. The usual bead work, the two gate drills and I also tried to beat my best score on the four-foot-3-ball-progressive putt challenge. ... I did not beat my best score. It remains at 20 inches. 

I did the chipping ladder drill as well. 6 foot chips, 12 foot chips and 18 foot chips on the carpet. I used both the 54 and 60 degree wedges. I went through both clubs 4 times up and down the ladder. Next time I do it, I think I'm going to use a hitting mat, perhaps a piece of artificial rough. The carpet does a good job simulating a tight lie, but I'd like to chip well from tight lies and from the rough.

[Bob M]

Day 458: Spent time with setup and punch drills again.

[WillieT]

Day 50 (27 Jan 22) - continued the anti-chicken wing drill, incorporating it into my setup.  No more than 20%, keeping things slowed down.  As much as I wanted to…each swing was followed by what was good and what wasn’t self assessment.  Planning more of the same tomorrow.
