"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

Day 6: 6/16/23

3-hour lesson with Gig Hilton at Sapona Golf and Tennis Club in Lexington, NC. Gig is a Wright Balance instructor. Reinforced that I was an 8 on the Upper Core swing measurement and my backswing was too narrow. Worked on several drills to extend my backswing with a wedge, an 8, and my driver. Gig then placed me on a carpet that measured how my weight shift or pressure moved around. I tend to hang back with irons and wedges. This might explain why I hit just under 68% of fairways with my driver while my GIRs have dropped. Really felt like I was striping the ball when the lesson ended.

Day 15

90min down at the range, still have a hefty slice and alot to work on. Update recordings in my swing thread to review and decide on how to practice in coming weeks.

Day 7: Jun 17

Played in the monthly medal (first time for everything). Shot +2 nett…and when I unfortunately remember how I had to write down a 10 for a par 5, I realise just how good a round of golf i put together from the back tees (where I’ve never played before). Played smart golf (mostly), made good decisions (mostly!) and rode my luck a little bit. But made plenty of good shots.

Things to work on: make sure I’m aligned correctly for shots and focus on accuracy.

Day 13: long practice session at the range. Long game for about 45 minutes with filming. Found out I was setting up pretty closed to my target, so good to fix that. Then did short game for over an hour. Worked on putting speed drills and short putts and then a little bit of everything chipping.

Day 229, June 17, 2023

Did some work downtown because I got there early for a lesson. We're starting the tear-down!

Day 25, June 17th 2023

Worked on my short game and putting before heading to dinner with family. Worked on hitting landing spots, and controlling my backswing length.

Day 54 - Played 18 holes. Driver feeling worked really really well when I committed to it. Multiple drives of 290+ in the middle of the fairway. Even misses off to the right were around 275-280 range.

Partial wedges need a bit more work, everything flew 5-10yds longer than I saw on the launch monitor. Missed a bunch of greens long from 75-110.

Day 17: 6/17/23

Practiced before my round today. Chips and pitches, followed by full swing and putting.

Day 1: well, started the practice up again. Unfortunately, I popped my hamstring and can’t swing full right now. But worked more on making sure my grip was correct and as I mentioned previously, making sure my wrists set. Just feeling the club get set.

Day 8: Jun 18

Practice day at the range, continuing to try and develop/maintain a good swing path. As before it’s gets away from me with driver & 3-wood, but it remains playable. Rest is in good shape; a controlled fade with a 4-hybrid upwards is adding more confidence in my game.

The “bad miss” with my driver is either losing control of the clubface (leaving it too open) or maybe it’s down to the impact spot on my driver being near the heel. I’ve said this before…but I need to understand what’s happening. That means a solo trackman session or two.

Day 16

Rotation work and backswing, avoiding extending body/arms to far back, keeping weight more centered

Day 34. Range today. Worked on my PP for a bit with 6 iron and driver including set up and backswing tempo. Then moved onto keeping my backswing long as it tends to shorten during rounds. Finally, just worked down the bag with a couple of shots with each club to targets.

Day 230, June 18, 2023

Lawnmower broke so my plan to go to the range today was scuttled. I did some work indoors in prep for a round on Monday and Tuesday. Reflections. Have to get the backswing right or the downswing almost doesn't matter.

Edit (3:30pm): Well, I lied. I went to the range and hit about 45 golf balls. Took about an hour or so. I like these west coast U.S. Opens.

Day 8: 6/18/23

indoor chips went well.

Stack Neural Training preceded by Wright balance training. I am 2 days late due to a lesson Friday and playing yesterday, and it showed. I finished at 110, 4 mph below my high during this session. A little off my game today.

Day 55 - Proper practice session at the range with a bunch of good reps focusing on my priority piece.

A ton of dry reps later at home too.
