"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

Recommended Posts

Day 152 (01 Oct 24) - Still dealing with the crud so I kept it simple - simple 3/4 swings with the 6i into the net and wrapping up with similar swings using hard foam balls to get some ball flight visuals (you know its getting good when 6 out 7 balls finish within a 10yd circle).  Side bar: the great thing about the Edel SMS 6i is that it lets you know when you've made solid contact and when you haven't.

Day 1 - 2024-10-01

Hit some chip shots first (with the NXT Tour type practice balls we have, so of course, all high, a little right, and not very skinny), then chipped some 9I focusing mostly on the backswing and the left wrist cupping. Just like 40-yard shots (which probably went 65 or so).

Day 76: just a lighter mirror work day. Working on grip, checking backswing, and working on a few downswing feels.

    • I wear minimalist zero drop shoes daily. Really helped my ankle strength and balance. I hardly ever sprain my ankles anymore (been years). Truelinks are my go to golf shoe. I like their Knits as a daily shoe. 
    • Yea I’m the same way. All their shoes are pretty good but I just like the OG and their derivatives so much more. I’m probably just going to stick with them from now on.

    • Washing my hands in a sink that was a little bit too low for me and my back seized up. Weeks of PT and muscle relaxers later I could get out of bed in less than 10 minutes again.
    • This is what I thought.  This came off as someone making up phrases or words to sound impressive than actually speaking correctly about how the body works. Any search for Spiral Lines just seems to come from alternative medicine and not actual good science websites. Like, if I search spiral lines at Cleveland clinic, I get stuff about bone fractures.  When he started going on spiral lines, I was checking out of the video.  I do not think any sort of motion can 100% get rid of the chance of back injury. We are bending over slightly and torquing the body at a high rate of speed. Over and over again. It is common for golfers to have degenerative discs. Then you are just asking for the moment where a nerve to get pinched and there goes the back. I take it as an acceptable risk to play this sport. This past year has been the best year in terms of back issues for me (zero). I attribute a lot of that with doing more with my arms (shallowing), than using my body.  Opening the lower freezer door of my fridge. Leaning over to tie a show. Sneezing. And a few other ways.  God getting old sucks 😛
