"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

Day 210 (28 Nov 24) - In between helping the Mrs with cooking, worked on foot position on setup, i.e. narrowing stance width just a little.  Also worked with overall tempo and swing length - a nice easy holiday type session.

Day 318 - Busy day, got in some mirror work this evening. Mostly focused on finishing high, hips closer to the target.

Day 60 - 2024-11-29

Got about 3.5' of snow today, so I was going to go to Golf Evolution, but… I only left the house to throw some snow. Instead, i checked out my putting stroke on HackMotion in the basement. Turns out… it's pretty good, and I'm very in touch with what I'm doing.

Day 211 (29 Nov 24) - Friday men’s round albeit a solo foursome (temps in the 40’s, day after Thanksgiving and the average age closer to 75 - I’m a youngster at 65).  Interesting day of semi-solid play (8 of 18 GIR). Hit all four par threes in one (a first) - parred each; still had a couple 3 putt bogies; and blew up on 3 of the par 5’s (go figure)). The blow ups were some serious tree rattlers - amplifying how I got stupid and greedy instead of smart and content to just get back in the short stuff.

Day 135: worked on putting bead for a while with the 2 cups drill.

Day 319 - More mirror work, same focus on finishing higher and more towards the target.

Day 212 (30 Nov 24) - Putting drill - focused on getting a consistent start line.  Used an old liner from a momento ball display to give a solid visual on the start….

I like it for several reasons: (1) it’s thin cardboard, does not interfere with swing path; (2) the back edge gives a great square to face reference; (3) the “fingers” provide a great parallel to get the ball rolling.  May be a pre-round tool going forward.

Day 61 - 2024-11-30

A little backswing work in between shoveling and throwing a bunch of snow. Joy.

[DeadMan]

Day 136: did some mirror work. Focused on backswing stuff, but a little bit of downswing work. 

[DaHolla]

Day 320 - Back to full swings. Still focused on a full backswing an a better finishing position, this time with the Divot Board to work on ground contact. 

[WillieT]

Day 213 (01 Dec 24) - A full day of all kinds of things - so it was mirror work time….setup, keeping backswing to 1/2 swing and easing thru downswing working on feeling weight shift onto lead foot.

Day 62 - 2024-12-01

Stuck inside again, so, today putted in the basement during halftime.

[DeadMan]

Day 137: did a stack session. 

[DaHolla]

Day 321 - Same as yesterday; full swings working on the backswing and the finish. I need to film tomorrow, to see how things are looking.

Day 214 (2 Dec 24) - Spent some time working flighted 6i punch shots in the backyard - using hard foam balls.  Ball back, narrowed stance, shortened backswing, smooth tempo thru the ball - all to get those low flighted pitches that are needed (especially when in the trees).

Day 63 - 2024-12-02

Played some Bryson's HIO Challenge, which loaded for some reason today.

[DaHolla]

Day 322 - Went back to focusing more on the finish than the backswing. Contact was solid. 

[DeadMan]

Day 138: another packed day, so just some mirror work late at night. Checking on the backswing stuff.
