"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[DeadMan]

Day 85: Went to the range and worked on my feel of opening my hips up more and getting my right arm closer to my body in the downswing. Also did a superspeed session.

Day 3 - Worked on pitching, specifically the Day 7 Covid drills.

Day 163

Worked on setup/posture and pre-shot routine today. Hit balls with 7-iron. Between each ball I walked away from my mat, set the club down, picked it up, walked back to the mat, went through pre-shot routine, focusing on posture and balance at setup, then hit the ball. Repeated about 20 times.

Did a bit of putter comparison between my Ping Anser from 1968 and somewhat recently purchased Odyssey Jailbird Mini (mallet esque). Kind of on the fence about mallet putters now, but will wait for lesson/fitting to move on anything.

Later goofed around trying to catch a flop shot.

Day 81 - Played 9 again today. Still trying to cure the hooks. Making some progress. An open range would really help!

Day 49 - chipping and putting x 45mins. Primarily worked on distance control/speed of lag putts.

Day 4 - Me and a buddy are gonna go through the Covid Practice Challenge, so I'm going to go through each day instead of getting stuck on day 1 indefinitely. That being said, today is Day 1.

Day 164

Dusted off my Skilz gold flex trainer club to warm up. Always feels like I’m stiff the first 10-15 balls.

Practiced with a 5-iron today because the sole of my 7-iron is worn from practicing with it 90% of the time.

Worked on making a good back swing, as I can feel some bad habits creeping into my motion.

Also did a superspeed workout. Need to look back through these posts to see when I started with the superspeed. Might be time to move to the next level.

Day 143 - May 20, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

Worked before a lesson for about 10 minutes.

Day 50 - putting/bead work with gate drill at work first thing this morning at the office x 10 mins.  As usual, I will also get some full swing PP work in later this afternoon as well with 7i

[DaHolla]

Day 5 - Covid Practice Day 2. I'm also playing 9 this afternoon, where my focus will be eliminating fat shots. All this practice off a mat is messing with me.

Day 82 - Worked on a modified gate drill to help with my set up and starting the shot out to the right.

Day 144 - May 21, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

12 holes with the kiddo. She won $5 because she played 10-12 in even: bogey (tough hole), par (20 footer), birdie (par five).

Day 87: Worked on my one-handed drill to get my right elbow and wrist more bent at impact. Drill looks pretty good.

Day 165

Warmed up a bit and then hit some balls with 7-iron. First 20 balls or so were awful, thin, toe strikes that stung my hands. Mosquitos were out to boot so I was getting pretty annoyed. I went inside, and did a little putting to chill out, and then did some swing mapping and realized I was focusing so much on not swaying my hips away from the ball (focus of my last lesson) that I wasn’t getting forward in the down swing. Moved to patio door and did some rehearsals in the “mirror“ and then braved the mosquitos for 10 more balls. Took post shot notes. Start line was good on all 10, a bit right of where I was aligned, which is normal for my draw ball flight. Contact was okay on 2 balls and good on 8, all on the grooves, and close enough to center for me (maybe not for Crossfield). The 2 okay balls were slightly thin, but not bladed.

Day 51 - hands back and up with 7i, taking shortened backswing to A4 with 1/2 speed downswing

[woodzie264]

Borrowed a friend’s Mevo and it’s definitely a good training aid in that it reminds you to compress the ball for distance as I tend to be more of a “sweeper” - it was fun

Day 145 - May 22, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

Played 18. Need to get in a good range or indoor session SOON. Losing the feel for what I have to do. I think it's about width, though.
