"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

Day 9:

Played 18 this morning. Overall, everything was good enough, but nothing was great today. Miss profile was different, so I need to think about if this is desirable or not.

Day 7
Played 18 today with my dad. Beautiful day. Just didn’t have a sense for the swing today. Got to do stuff better and exaggerated more. Short game is still hit or miss.

Day 209, May 28, 2023

Played six holes with a 5-iron and an 8-iron. Hit 3 or 4 shots on almost everything. Hit some really, really good ones, but I'm not yet to the point where I can hit the MASSIVE draw that starts way right.

Day 39: Went to the range and worked on my driver for about 20 minutes. Was also checking that my launch angle was okay, and it was fine.

Day 92 (28 May 23) - Rain stopped about midday, able to get outside around sunset to hit some pitches with the 54 (soggy grass mode) in the backyard.  Focused on gripping down, opening stance a little and smooth swing .

Day 34 - Hit balls working on new setup feelings. Irons are pretty good but driver still needs a bit of work to feel normal.

Chipped and putted too, still putting really well with the older putter so going to give that a go on the course tomorrow.

Day 4: just working on the same things with slow rehearsed swings. Still at work so I’ll hit some balls tomorrow.

Day 66: 5/28/23

Rained all day in Upstate SC so I chipped and putted indoors.

Regripped a set of Rogue Pro irons and used an air compressor. It was my first time trying this and I will always choose air over grip tape and solvent in the future! So easy to adjust grips and build up the lower hand to the right size.

Day 62: May 29

Did a couple of indoor practice putting sessions focused on 4-5 ft putts. Then went to my local course for a couple of hours of short game & putting practice. Beginning to reacquire my touch/feel for more lofted short pitches & chips, especially for shots where I have to carry over a short obstruction which would prevent a low-running chip or even using my putter.

Putting green was trying to get a consistent pace on putts. Also got my first taste of using my feet to feel the borrow on putts in a very basic AimPoint sense. Hard to explain but I can feel that a seemingly flat putt…is not flat, which adjusts my aim point.

Day 8, 

Hit balls trying to get my swing to stop at A2.5 (it carries on to about A3.5). Need to find an exaggerated feel for the right elbow stuff in the downswing. It just isn't sticking like I want.

Day 67: 5/29/23

Stack Neural training session 10. Slow session despite completing Wright Balance exercises prior to training.  
 

100 MPH training session which equates to 110 mph eSpeed. I did hit that a few times on Saturday so that is not too far off. I have definitely plateaued the past two sessions. Will see what I can do next session.

Day 10:

5 months into the year and I haven't done a much work on my grip, which is something I want to get right once and for all. Today I worked on longer thumb on the lead hand, and holding the club tighter so the grip doesn't slide into palm. Hit 30 balls just focusing on this. Start line was all over the place, but contact was good, and I think in the long run I will learn to control the face better with this grip than a looser, short-thumb grip that slides around during backswing and transition.

Day 19. Worked on tempo with the Tour Tempo app for about 10 minutes.

[WillieT]

Day 93 (29 May 23) Swing tempo drill day - started with trail arm only focused one tempo and weight shift, moved to lead arm same focus.  Finished with easy pitches w/whiffle balls at 15 paces from the swing set w/goal to land the ball in the 3 paces of space between the swing set and the fence.

Day 35 - Played 18 holes in the morning, then hit a few balls and chipped and putted in the afternoon while the kiddo napped.

Ball striking was solid, made sure I committed to the new address position on every shot during the round. The hip priority piece is probably halfway there right now I'd say. It definitely is better than say a month go, but I could probably improve it another 50%. Ball striking has undoubtedly improved though so I'm just going to keep working on it. 

Used the old putter too and was lights out with it. Didn't miss anything inside 6 feet and was burning edges all day from 10-20 feet. Keeping it in the bag for a while.

Day 210, May 29, 2023

Little mirror work inside. Kinda took a day off to just catch up on some reading, watch the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, and so on.

[DeadMan]

Day 40: Did a superspeed session and did some rehearsal swings, working on downswing feels.

[WillieT]

Day 94 (30 May 23) - Swing tempo work - started w/easy swings w/driver, worked up to full speed, moved to 5i and finished w/8i.  Focused on arms and keeping them extended during takeaway.
