"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[WillieT]

Day 29  (6 Apr 26) - Snuck  a few balls with the 6i while waiting for the local school tournament golf match to start.  Worked on tempo - starting with 1/2 swings working to full while working the ball slightly from side to side.

Day 9: did a stack session. Worked on some slow mapping swings during rest breaks.

Day 231 4-7

Still going slower with the swing. Hips/chest in the backswing and then worked on wrist arch in the downswing. Just looks like im still missing something. Hit foam balls.

Day 30 (7 Apr 26) - Worked on takeaway thru finish focused on abbreviated start and finish - hitting balls about 55yds w/9i, Pw and 50° - getting the feel of finishing smoothly on lead foot.

Mirror work after getting back home again.

Day 10: range day for the first time in a while. Filmed a bunch. Going faster isn’t looking great to me, but that’s okay. Also filmed my full swing in the first time for a while. Need to be more vertical in the backswing. Otherwise, fine. Solid work though.

Day 31 (8 Apr 26) - Worked with a coupe of kids on the school golf team on the range - then joined them for a few holes of practice play.

Rotation work tonight. Used just a mirror for the most part. Recorded a few swings just to see where I am.

Day 32 (9 Apr 26) - Grandson is on spring break- puts in to play 9 at our home course.  Used it to work on top of horizon target point for drives and approaches…i.e. pick landing zone (fairway, green) , an intermediate target point and finally what standout feature do I want to hit “over” on the horizon (tall pine, home top, flag pole).    Better l-r dispersion w/5 of 7 drives in the short grass.  Nice little addition to the pre-shot routine.

Comment:  Huh, I practiced regularly until 1/31, got busy in Feb-Mar (as I knew I would), and got reinspired today.  I have done some intermittent practice in the past two months, but let's get back on the daily practice wagon.

Day 1, April 9 2026.  I worked on some pelvis turn limiting drills, doing one for several iterations before context switching to hit a few balls slowly (trying to retain that feeling), and repeating.

Pelvis turn limiting, not hip. I really did follow the video!

Day 555 - 2026-04-09

Played 17 holes (we skipped 6 to pass a group letting us through). Hit more good shots than I was expecting. 😄

Day 12: did a stack session. Worked on slow swings in between sets - getting hands higher in the backswing.

Day 556 - 2026-04-10

Played another 17 holes, this time skipping #11 to pass a group that was still on 14 when we were finishing up. 😛 Not as good as yesterday, but more distracted by the mind's eye.
