"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[WillieT]

Day 1 (16 Nov 22) - starting over as I took several days off while vacationing with the kids and grands in New England.  Worked on the swing setup drill that I had been doing with the 7i and 8i, rehearsing takeaway and downswing, then making swings hitting hard foam balls.

Day 16, November 16, 2022

Worked for about 25 minutes hitting balls with an 8I today. Took a few breaks to film some content, including a weird one I put on Instagram Reels.

Day 17, November 17, 2022

Worked downtown after lessons, partly because I was putting off getting home and throwing snow (which unfortunately was too literal today, as it was so wet the snow thrower had a hard time of it, so I did a lot manually), and partly because I knew I wouldn't be back today.

day 12 - went to the range despite it being Thursday (no pool today) and practiced the takeaway as discussed in yesterdays lesson.. spent almost 2 hours  there, also playing on the toptracer

Day 2 (17 Nov 22) - Played the back nine at Minnesott today with a good friend who’s recovering from a neck injury that has left his little and ring fingers in his lead hand numb (the strongest club he can comfortably hit is his 5i).  We discussed how we are working through injuries (my foot, his hand/neck) and how blessed we are to be able to play.

Day 1:

Worked on primary priority, backswing depth. Feels like I’ve said this before.

Day 3 (18 Nov 22) - Swing rehearsal work in the backyard today - focused on the transition and coming through the ball.  Hit some hard foam balls to finish up - purposed 1/2 swing strikes with open face, closed face, squared face.

Day 18, November 18, 2022

My daughter's birthday, and a BIG day of watching videos about torques and forces. 🙂 While watching some of them, I worked on the backswing and transition.

Happy belated Birthday to @NatalieB!

Day 4 (19 Nov 22) - Worked on bump and run shots in the backyard with the 7i staying with setup routine.  Able to work from a reasonably tight lie up to a fluffed one.

day 14 - played 18 holes today in our monthly competition.. ended up 4th, because I messed up two holes (water shots) and had 2 lip outs.. else I was quite content with my game.

Day 3:

Worked on backswing a bit, and integrated downswing piece with full swings, using 4-iron, 6-iron and 9-iron. Finished up with some driver swings with Almost Golf balls.

Day 19, November 19, 2022

Worked on putting a little bit (today was a putting day for Junior Elite golfers).

[Darkfrog]

Day 4:

Played 18 this morning. Little bit Jekyll & Hyde with the new downswing feel, but I feel like there is some good stuff, especially when I get the backswing part right.

Day 5 (20 Nov 22) - dreary outside so opted to work on putting inside focused on tempo.  Goal was to get the ball to just trickle into the cup, quite a few rolled about 2” short and 4’ back.

day 15 - played 9 holes in "below freezing" temperatures..  made a birdie on 4 and managed to improve my handicap a little. I don't know why they kept the course open and on summer-greens despite the ground having been frozen. Putting was a nightmare and I am sure playing in such conditions did more harm to the course than most other days combined.
