"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

Day 528:

Worked on downswing with foam balls using LVP camera face on. Pretty happy with progress. Impact looks a little flippy when club face piece isn’t executed well, but getting better. Play 18 in the morning so we’ll see how it goes with real balls.

Day 228: Two miserable rainy, windy days in a row. No outside work but did work on stance and set up in the garage.

Day 529:

Played 18. Hit a bunch of really flush approach (iron) shots...after terrible tee shots. Putting/short game pretty good today. Need to work on clubface/downswing.

Day 56 (5/30/21) - Second rainy day in a row.  Did slow motion, partial swings inside focusing on moving the club with my footwork, rather than my hands, focusing on getting a pendulum like motion back and forth with a good rhythm.

Day 141 (30 May 21) - worked on line drill with the 9i...focusing on making contact with the ground 1-2” after the line “mowing the grass” so to speak.  Much improved over a year ago when such drills were more about digging holes behind the line.

Day 5, May 30, 2021.

Indoor waist high to waist high swings, mainly focused on weight shift and balance. Hit some foam balls, which my cats enjoyed.

Day 96.  The medal play portion of my club's match play championship was today.  I played okay... 7 GIR, but a really bad stretch 9-10-11 (+8 total over that realm).  Qualified for the match play portion on the number.   Parred the first hole, something I did not do yet this year or in 2020 (about ten rounds total in that time, so this isn't as bad as it sounds).  Still no birdies at the home course this year, but I gave a few some good looks

Day 1 - after not touching a club (literally) for 2 weeks, I hit yesterday and give myself a B+ with irons, A w/driver.  This morning did a two ball drill (one ball 1/2” to outside of object ball) to reinforce and inside-out path as I’ve been coming more outside-in lately.

Day 6, May 31, 2021

Practiced the shorter feeling swing, with the focus of still getting the weight forward.

Day 142 (31 May 21) -  Came across some video/article stuff by Peter Croker and his swing method.  Figured I would try his process on chipping - focusing on the takeaway process, very similar to the Covid 30 Day challenge.

Day 57 (5/31/21) - Some chipping practice in the yard; slow full swings in the house earlier today.

Day 97.  I spent half an hour putting (on a real green).  6' drill first, took 45 putts to sink from the 12 positions -- this is awful (and indicative of my putting this past weekend).  I then took 16 to sink from 4', which is better but I need to work on that.

I also need to establish a plan for the rest of my putting.  GG tells me I can save something like three strokes a round if I improve my "10 to 33 foot" putts... not quite sure what to do for that   I'll probably break it into 10-15' and also 25-33'.

Day 229: Finally stopped raining, so I filmed my swing and worked a bit on transition feel.

Day 520 - May 31, 2021

Stack System work and a bunch of mirror work re-emphasizing acceleration/deceleration points and overall tempo.

[Darkfrog]

Day 530:

Did a little bit of pitching practice outdoors, and some bead putting practice indoors. 

[boogielicious]

Day 230: Played 18 this morning with another player for a change. Played ok, but driver was squirrelly again. Went to the range after and worked on set up again.

Day 7, June 1, 2021

Well it’s short game Tuesday. So I practiced my pitching and chipping.

[Shindig]

Day 98.  Spent an hour putting on a real putting green.  I did 12 coins, 4' drill (17 putts to finish -- not great, not bad, improving) and a 6' drill (31, ... plenty of room for improvement).  I also did, without recording, several from 25' feet of hit 4 balls, try to get them all within 10% (I put four tees a little under a yard around a cup -- should have brought the knitting needles) and repeat.  I'm going to work on this one, too, before moving back. 

In case it looks like I'm cramming short game:  (1) match play round coming up in a little over a week (I qualified over the weekend), and it's my worst part, especially putting.  I also only report my practice the-day-so-far when I log into TST;  for example, last night, I spent 20 minutes hitting full 6-iron shot practice (slow swings, priority piece on setup, etc) and another 30 hitting chip and quarter shots.  This was after the above-mentioned (day 97) putting practice.
