"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

Day 17 - Played 18 holes, did a pretty good job remembering my priority piece and the feel with that, iron contact was very solid, absolutely flushed multiple long irons. Didn't score as well as I struck the ball but that was mainly due to a poor short game and some missed short putts.

Day 191, May 10, 2023

Worked on slow motion stuff before heading to the course in the afternoon to watch Nat play. Same stuff, shoulder still feels much better.

Day 23: Did mirror work today. Working on the same but - club path in the dowsing, trying to the club wider.

Day 45: May 10

Played round a golf at a different course (bit longer with a fair number of hills). I took far too long to adapt to the pace of the greens, so I butchered a few decent opportunities to score. I’m also fairly happy at how I was playing from uphill/downhill/side hill lies. Couple of mental errors cost me.

But the big takeaway was my lack of cardiovascular fitness. I really flagged on the last 3 holes and the results showed. Short term fix is easy: have snacks (banana, etc) with me for a quick pick-me-up. Longer term is to improve my physical fitness.

Day 3 - Played 9 this morning at Rose Hill, a nearby Par 3. First time seeing the course...nice Par 3 with plenty of bunkers and water on several holes.

Day 46: May 11

Been working on transition, trying to get my hips turning (not sliding) early in the downswing whilst making sure I don’t cast/ throw the club. I want this out-to-in path with fairway woods & driver to be no worse than -3. I accept I’ll hit bad shots - and my club path is light years better than it was - but if I want to achieve the goals I’m setting then I have to get this sorted.

Day 5. Worked on feeling backswing length and tempo. I tend to get short on the course.

Day 75 (11 May 23) - Easy day today, left foot (the transmet amputation one) developed a couple of weepers in the grafted skin - no torsional rotation for a couple of days so the skin can heal - did swing tempo work with the 7i ( count “one”-club to horizontal, count “two” club at top of backswing and “three” club at impact).

Day 192, May 11, 2023

Got my practice in today watching everyone take five putts on the sixth hole at NCAA Nationals. Yow!

Day 18 - Hit a few balls slowly while focusing on priority piece, then chipped and putted for a while.

Day 3:

Still practicing backswing, trying to feel athletic and not get stuck right after takeaway. I feel like my eyes focus on the ball at address and then as soon as the club moves they rapidly change intent to clubhead, and then try to re-find the ball near the top, and by that point the backswing is terrible. Did a lot of rehearsals with an almost golf ball for a prop. Then continued with a real ball just hitting soft 8-irons, not really focusing at all on downswing/contact, just for the fun of actually hitting a ball. Have a lesson tomorrow.

Day 19 - Did The Stack swings in the morning, hit a few balls at lunch focusing on wedges and driver, and chipped and putted a bit.

Day 76 (12 May 23) - Continued tempo drill from yesterday work while nursing left foot.  Finished with a few pitches w/GW rehearsing the drill.

Day 25: Good, long practice session today. practiced for a solid 2 hours - worked on everything. Worked on full swing for about 45 minutes - focused on the same stuff, and it was actually a bit of a struggle. Need more work on my priority piece. Then went and putted for a while. I worked mostly on short and medium putts, but also worked in some lag putting. Did a few drills on each length. Putting is feeling really good right now. Finished up at the short game area. Worked on a variety of shots - bump and run, chip, and pitches. Generally pretty good, but could be crisper. 

All in all, a good practicing day.

Day 6. Worked on tempo and finishing the backswing, getting that feel down.
