"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[Shindig]

Day 226.  Today was my second time going through Fit for Golf Winter Strength #2 

[Big Lex]

Day 90 (10/22/22): Today I practiced setup for about 10-15 minutes, then warmed up and played simulator rounds. 36 holes. Inverness at ~6500 shot 83. Oakland Hills at ~6300 shot 76. Inverness had much more difficult greens.

Day 130 (23 Oct 22) - Rainy day so opted for putting tempo works.  Worked from distances of 3’ up to 10’.

Yesterday was a miss;  second in 28 days, but third in 32 days.  Phew.

Day 227.  Five minutes of 6-iron swings, alternating tilt / elbows, in my indoor room after work but before heading out for the evening.

[WillieT]

Day 131 (24 Oct 22) - Continued work in the swing setup, keeping the swing to 1/4 to 1/2 doing short pitches in the backyard with the 9i.

Day 91 (10/24/22): Forgot to post yesterday…in Palm Springs for a conference which starts tomorrow. Played 18 yesterday and did a speed session on Stack. Today I played 36.

My offseason has begun. 😢

 

DAY 1: Played "around the world" on my indoor putting mat.

 

[WillieT]

Day 132 (25 Oct 22) - Played our last church group’s 9 hole best ball for the season (always an after work thing - so darkness is the culprit).  Ball striking was pretty consistent, the drills have helped tremendously in that area.

Day 228.  This morning's workout was Fit for Golf Winter Strength #3.   

I wanted to hit balls after work but I didn't get home until about 830 and am exhausted.

Day 92 (10/25/22): Did another stack speed session and played 18 this afternoon.

Day 93 (10/26/22): Travel day, but I made time for a short putting practice session in the hotel room. I had a nice smooth carpet so I practiced distance control for about 10 minutes.

Day 133 (26 Oct 22) - Continued the setup drill in the backyard, using the 9i.  Worked on hitting bump and runs at about 25 yds.  

[HankBlue]

DAY 2:  Chipped 2 dozen balls into a net. 

[Shindig]

Day 229.  Another day getting home late from the office, made ten minutes to hit quarter shots with my 58 (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  

[WillieT]

Day 134 (27 Oct 22) - Played 18 with my son.  A couple of mismanaged shot choices resulted in one snowman along with one putt scrambles for bogie, still had a great round in pitches and chips thanks to so-so work on approaches.  Really good day of learning to work through mediocre to poor shots.

I don't like how many of my "daily improvement" reports are just workouts that have a golf focus, but I far prefer this to what is usual for me at this time of year.  The exercises are great, but I really should be taking the time for swing practice, too. 

Day 230.  Fit for Golf Winter Strength workout this morning.

Day 135 (28 Oct 22) - Worked on the setup/grip drill that has been pretty much a daily practice, added pitches with the 50deg wedge w/Birdie balls into the saucer swing in the backyard.  Its a drill I really like as it forces focus on accuracy and tight proximity.  Love the feedback of the Birdie balls as they create a spinning hum and some serious backspin when struck well.  If not, they just warble through the air.

Day 94 (10/28/22): Missed yesterday … my grand-niece’s wedding. From Palm Springs to VT via 4 airports over about 15 h. Returned home today and practiced some chipping. On my trip, I chipped well regarding contact, but was not sharp on distance control. Tonight’s practice focused on the same technique, but seeing how I could vary distance via using the same length swing but different ball positions, opening or closing the face a little, etc.
