"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

Day 165.  Played 18 holes today.  At range beforehand and before full swings, focused on my latest setup piece (priority) from Evolvr.  GG info forthcoming.  I did okay on 17 holes, I'd say.

Day 9:

Did backswing work today, lots of rehearsals, making sure I made a full turn, and figuring out what that “feels” like for me. Then hit a few balls for fun.

Day 4 (8/10/21) - Practice green/Range day. 

Practice Green: Today I did the "Nowhere" and "Army" drills from "Instinct Putting". I did 3 sets of 10 balls each focused on striking the ball solidly without looking at it and got really in tune with where on the putter face my strike happened. Watching the roll of the ball was instructive too. Then 2 sets of 10 each on the "Army" drill. For this one, I started about 15 feet from a hole and started purposely putting to the left of the hole then to the right focused on spots near the hole. the last four putts of each set were aimed at the hole. 

Range: I had a problem last Friday night pulling short iron shots, so today, range time was spent hitting 8,9 and W, aiming to the right of a yardage market trying to hit a gentle draw back to the center...all with good trajectory.

Day 288: Played 18 this morning with three fast women! By fast I mean we played in 3:20. 😉 Really nice ladies too. I will definitely play with them again if I can.

Day 45 (10 Aug 21) - Played 18 today at the home course.  Worked on the grip change that I have been working on.  A number of drives were pulls, but not out and out hooks.  Have more work to do on this to find the true sweet spot "for me" for the grip.

Day 77, August 10, 2021

Continued work with the slower lower inside takeaway feeling, I seem to get a little “jerky” taking it back at times. So it definitely needs some work.

Day 166. Another 15 minutes (and four balls, total) of very slow, very careful checking at A3 that my head isn't moving forward and similar requirements, trying to change the picture as pointed out in my latest Evolvr lesson.  Three of those four felt like very solid strikes, but this early in the process, that's probably a sign of reversion not change. 😞

Day 10:

Did my COVID-19 days 1-5 mashup drill today. Then some day 6 and 7 work. Then some full swings with lots of rehearsals between each ball working on downswing priority piece.

Day 5 (8/11/21) - 15 minutes of full and 3/4 pitching wedges in the yard today (whiffle ball) focused on good contact and low point in front of the ball. Had a few low pulls, which has been a problem lately, but significantly more high baby draws. I seem to be headed in the right direction.

Day 289:  range work. Focused on wedges first slowing down the backswing and letting weight go forward to start he downswing. Moved on to other clubs. The range had a bunker, so I worked a bit on fairway bunker shots, which is rare. It also had rough next to it, so I worked a bit on shots from deeper rough. 

Finished with chipping.

Day 46 (11 Aug 21) - Played 18 today with my wife's first cousin's husband.   A day of inconsistency across the bag, except the putter was working okay.  The greens today provided some great read opportunities in regards to breaks, had some great rolls and very near misses.

Day 167.  I had two practice sessions today.  One was 15 minutes long and was full swing (indoors, the usual).  I worked on my priority piece but I turned off the camera as I misestimated how many days I have until Friday, when my club championship begins, so I'm focusing on making good swings for now and will work on improvement when they event is over.

I also spent 30 minutes putting, which included a 4' coin drill (16 putts,  better than the 90 handicap benchmark, so I'm happy) and speed drills from 12' and 15' (get the ball to the hole, without going too far past) and 30', 33', and 40' drills (hit the ball as close to the right distance).   This was on a real green with real golf balls.

Day 11:

Took a break from full swing today and did the yardstick putting bead drill.

Day 78, August 11, 2021:

Worked on my “taller” feeling setup. It feels a little weird, with my head higher, but looser. I have a long torso, so getting to the ball isn’t a problem. I’ll post a DTL swing video in the next few days. I’ll have to actually see it, to see my feeling is correct.

Day 290: Played 18 this morning before the heat. Played pretty well with a long drive of 262 (not downhill!) and lots of up and downs (7). Shot a 78.

Day 168.  I spent over an hour and a half practicing today.  I hit a small bucket at a range near me (off of mats) -- I didn't hit at my usual slower practice pace, as my goal today isn't changing the picture but rather getting ready for several rounds coming up, starting tomorrow + Saturday (and hopefully Sunday if I make the cut!).  Still, with rehearsal swings and so on, it was over an hour for 30 balls.  I then spent 30 minutes putting, but I didn't bring the stuff to do drills (since that's in my practice bag), but I worked on 4', 6', 12', 15', 30', and 35' putts, with the usual goals on each.

Day 6 (8/12/21) - Practiced chipping to a spot in the yard today, about 15 minutes. 

I am still nursing a painful tennis elbow, so practice and playing are limited; 9-hole league tomorrow night.

Day 47 (12 Aug 21) - Played 18 again today with the grandson in tow.  Worked on tempo as I found yesterday I was getting real sloppy late in the round.  Worked on getting a solid weight forward finish.
