"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[WillieT]

Day 62 (28 Apr 23) an easy day, due to the rain, of short pitches with 9i and LW in heavy wet grass.   Focus on setup and observing how ball reacted off club face.  Like working on shots in less than optimal settings as this helps when the shot gets in trouble on the course (which happens less these days).  

[DeadMan]

Day 11: Did some mirror work. Working on my drill feels. 

[Darkfrog]

Day 38:

Backswing feels lost right now, like I don’t know how to initiate the move. Skipped full swing and did some pitching/chipping instead.

Day 11. Indoor work focused on slowing the backswing down near the to to smooth transition.

[Bob M]

Day 9 - Practiced pitch shots in the yard with my 56* wedge. No longer carrying an LW!

Day 180, April 29, 2023

 

Worked on wrist conditions at the top today.

Day 37: 60 minutes of full swing and 30 minutes of short game. Finished Stack training Foundation yesterday and wanted to see if I could hit 111. I couldn’t but I did hit 110 once and 109 a few times. Most were around 106-107, and my previous average hovered around 104. Did Stack putting test. No 3 putts and made 7 putts but still lost strokes. Eager to complete next session.

Day 6 - Played 18 holes. 

Was a mix of really good and really poor swings which I kinda expected as I'm focusing on a new priority piece

[WillieT]

Day 63 (29 Apr 23) - Worked on pitches with the 52 followed by bump and runs with the 8i.  Focus was on distance control  by keeping club speed up and trusting the swing.  Averaged 3 of 5 being on target - distances averaged around 25 yds.

Day 12: Mirror work again today. Same thing as usual - trying to get feels into my full swing. 

[Darkfrog]

Day 39:

A bunch of short game work, and hit some almost golf balls with driver.

Realised that I’ve fallen behind on my updates…

Day 33/34: Apr 27/28

Essentially a duplicate practice: at-home drills, working on takeaway and transition, continuing to groove the correct swing path.

Day 35/36: Apr 29/30

Range sessions. Sat started well, but went downhill midway through due to poor ball striking. Much better session today; returned to my focus of not overswinging (for me that’s an overcocking of my wrists which results in opening the clubface). There’s still excessive left-to-right ball movement with 3-wood, but it’s a lot better than it was six months ago.

[Darkfrog]

Day 40:

Played 18 this morning. Didn't hit the ball well with driver, but approach play made up for it. Mostly low event golf, bogeys and pars. Had a double and triple bogey on the back 9, both the result of poor recovery shots.

Day 12. Worked indoors on the backswing with a 9 iron.

[WillieT]

Day 64 (30 Apr 23) - Today was a rinse, repeat of yesterday's drills only a little more focused on the bump and run.  Did a ladder type drill where I set up 7 balls a little over a yard apart with the closest to the hole around 20yds and the farthest about 30.  Goal was to have most (>4) finish within a club length of the pin.  Was reasonably successful as with getting 3-4 on average within the cup.   Most misses were short of the cup, usually from me failing to commit to the shot.

This is a self-policed topic @MrLeek, but…

Please read as the rules have changed!

• No back-dating or pre-dating posts or practice sessions.
• If you had a streak, but lose it, post again in regular old black, non-bold text. Be honest; this is golf we're talking about.

Day 7 - Did The Stack program at home then hit balls, chipped, and putted at the range.

Focused on my hip priority piece with irons and alignment with driver. I was lining up significantly further right than I realized, like to the point where even my clubface was point well right of my intended target.

[Clemsonfan]

Day 38: Stack progress measurement. Hit 103, which is a little less than I was hitting at the range yesterday. I start neural trading Thursday, which may be delayed due to a conflict. Chipped and putted indoors.
