"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[DeadMan]

Day 328: night range session. Worked on wrist twist in the downswing. Focused on doing it as well as I could slowly. I hit a lot of pull hooks and some solid straight balls, so that’s good. Video feedback seemed good, but quality wasn’t great because it was bad lighting. Really pleased with how I focused on being slow and specific, using some of the tips from the last Spin Axis pod.

Day 45 (14 Jun 25) - after the rain this afternoon, got outside to work with a soccer ball against the lead hip while making practice swings (purpose - to not sway back, but rather pivot).  After some time in the drill, applied it to work with the GW and making shots in the backyard.

Day 329: a handful of slow swing at foam balls in my backyard. Video looks like I need more work on wrist stuff. That said, kids really enjoyed hitting the balls!

Day 46 (15 Jun 25)- Father’s Day front nine at the request of grandson.  Man the course was busy - so we were in ready golf mode.  Solid day off the tee, had some issues with the short iron approaches, able to make it up with the wedges.  Best of all was watching a 9 yr old kid just have a blast!  Best Father’s Day ever…

Day 258 - 2025-06-15

Mirror work after watching one of my players win the EDGA Match Play and then watching the U.S. Open (weather delay).

Day 330: played the par 3 9 holer with the family. Hit a good amount of left balls, so that’s a positive.

Range session with a ton of video recordings.

Day 1 - Mirror backswing work. Haven't golfed much in years, but what I worked on at the one TST meetup is my focus (essentially complete lower body overhaul lol). Feel like my feet on the backswing (mainly trail) corkscrew straight down into the ground through the ball of the foot/midfoot. HIP STAYS IN INTERNAL ROTATION. LOAD THE GLUTE. Video soon and the resurrection of my swing thread to come.

Day 2 - Range session with a decent amount of video taken. Excited to be back golfing. Lower body is in a similar place to where it was before TST outing...not doing enough with the lower body. Feel like hands work higher and higher. Perfect practice makes perfect. Pace of how many balls I hit was good, but just swing slower. You aren't ingraining shit swinging 100%.

Day 259 - 2025-06-16

30 minutes between lessons and helping @DrizZzY for a bit. Got some good feels in. Really don't have to do it as much as I would be likely to do it.

@Grizvok, red text is reserved for those who have reached 30 days. You should be typing in black text until then.

Day 2: Another range session working on some drills and feels to stop coming over the top.

Day 47 (16 Jun 25) - Got in some work with the 6i into the net this morning - focused on the hip drill with soccer ball (rotating not swaying in the backswing) - staying with punchy 1/2 swings.  Moved off the net to wrap up with some low running chips (those needed when going out from under lower hanging branches).

Day 331: worked on grip for a bit. Then did the yardstick putting drill - went very well. 

[Christoby]

60 minutes on the local school playing fields,trying to discover my former grip,I found it and used a lob wedge with which I was able to group 3 balls pretty near together,very happy to have found my old grip and its give me a lot more confidence so I can go have a round of golf with my brother and his step sons,I have not stepped on a course for 20 years,still I can hit my old yardages and that's great as I'm now 62...everybody have a great day

Day 3: Used an alignment stick to work on 1/2 to 3/4 swings exaggerating feels to combat my tendency to take the club too far inside on the backswing and loop it to the outside on the downswing.

Day 260 - 2025-06-17

Played seven holes before it started thundering and then raining. Some good. Simpler.

Day 48 (17 Jun 25) - Into the net work today with the 5i - focus remains on the setup and proper weight shift.  Was not a perfect session as several were very heavy along with a couple of thin boys.  Finished up the day with a few pitches with the 52 (last set of 5 hitting to about 40 yds had 4 of the 5 in a 5’ circle (now if I could just do that on the course) - the errant one was a total mishit).

Day 3 - mirror swings/drills after my workout. Two seemingly good feels for me: feel like as the club reaches the top the weight of it/momentum of it pointing left initiates my "fall" into the lead side. Helps initiate the re-centering and some of the pressure shift. The second feel is like: as soon as the re-centering is over, begin to lighten the trail foot by feeling like my right knee in the beginning of the downswing essentially replaces where my left knee was at the top. This helps halt my sometimes ludicrous slide and greatly helps me get open.
