"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[WillieT]

Day 138 (26 Apr 22) - played 9 hole best ball round this afternoon.  Stress free golf at its best.  Was able to enjoy going for it knowing at least one shot was good.  Ball striking was solid resulting in a good number of my shots being played from.

Day 177, April 26, 2022

Just about ten minutes of slow swings. Really feeling the downswing move with the back of the club moving down.

Day 17

Temps dropped like 25 degrees today. So only hit a few wedges outside. Remainder of any practice was in the comfort of my home office. Hit some mid-irons. Worked on tempo and rotation mostly. Struck the ball pretty well. Gotta get ready for my league starting up a week from today.

Day 51.  Went to get video this morning.  Saw in the video that I'm doing the opposite of what my most recent lesson (albeit from August, due to my own getting too busy in Nov thru March), so rather than try to have video for Evolvr, I'm working on what my priority piece was in August.  It involved trying to get to a position at A3.  Three times today, for 5-10 minutes each, I set up (indoors, this time) with a 7-iron, swung to A3, checked that I was in the desired position, and reset.  After getting three in a row correct, I made a full swing (not at full speed).  Some of those full swings felt more solid than anything I've felt in about two weeks, which felt great.

Day 102:

Did short swings from A2 and A3, working on palmar flexion, and some setup stuff with grip and ball position.

Day 52.  This morning, before going to work, I hit a dozen balls in about as many minutes, with the same routine as yesterday:  several swings to A3, check that I'm in alignment with what I should be doing, and after a few correct in a row, a slow full swing.

Day 182 - Did an inline impact (flat left wrist) drill with my 9-iron (Wedzik's drill with an alignment rod) then hit a series of 5 and 10 yard chips to a target.

Day 558: Mixed it up today. Filmed a short session in my driveway to see if the feel I am working on it doing what I want. It was an improvement. So I then went to the range to look at ball flight. It is a feel I’ve used before and kind of got away from it while trying some other things suggested from my Evolvr lessons. Ball flight was better with more consistent push draws with the irons and push draw to slight push fade with driver. I also feel like I can really swing with speed with this feel.

day 52: we've had Kingsday today in the Netherlands.. played 9-holes and had one of the best rounds (4 par and a birdie on SI 1, and 2 lip outs for either par or birdie, as well as a chip that ended up hitting the flag-stick and stopping less than 2 cm next to the hole).. that was all before going to town with some golf-buddies to party in Amsterdam and celebrating the kings birthday

Day 139 (17 Apr 21) - Worked on bump and run drills in the backyard today with the 7i.

Day 178, April 27, 2022

Intended to get some full swing work done today, but didn't manage to do so. Instead, did some chipping work in the time I had.

Day 18

Nothing too crazy today. Hit some mid irons again. Just focusing on a single swing thought I've been working on. Stuck it well. Gotta get my new grips on so that I can get a few days in with them before week 1 of the league.

Day 103:

Continued today with same drills as the last few. Hoping to work up to full swing by Friday.

day 53: Thursday is day for indoor putting..

Day 559: Worked on the same feel this morning and filmed it. It’s getting easier.

Day 140 (28 Apr 22) - Backyard range work with the 7i and hard foam balls.  Focus on grip position and getting solid impact.

Day 183 - Spent a couple of hours on, and around, the putting green today:

1) Practiced green reading, starting with using my feet to identify the fall line on three holes on the PG, tested by hitting 10' putts and adjusting as needed. Then hit 3'-4' putts from several different directions on each of the holes.

2) Lag putting - Hit 30' putts, uphill and downhill, with a goal of getting within a 3' (10%) radius of the hole.

3) Practiced short chips to a fairly close hole with my 58* wedge. Started with high chips (blade open, one ball forward) then low (blade straight, one ball back). For my basic shot, I have the shaft fairly upright, so less lean for a high chip, more for a low. Always trying to use at least some bounce on these shots.

Day 179, April 28, 2022

Little bit more chipping work. Some slow motion swings.
