"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

[WillieT]

11 Jun 25 - Played the Friday men’s shootout today using the persimmon woods and MacGregor blades.  Solid overall - did misjudge club choices on a couple of holes - made me pay.  Still the increased focus “for me” on tempo and staying smooth is what these call for and made for a fun round.  Back to the regular clubs as I gear up for our club’s upcoming tournament the 1st of August.

Day 356: went to the range and practiced short game and putting for about an hour and a half. Worked on all types of short game shorts. Worked mostly on putts within 10 feet.

Day 1: 7/12/25

exactly 60 minutes of chipping practice. Unlikely to be able to practice very much but sure had a blast today!

[DeadMan]

Day 357: played 27 holes. +6 total - pretty pleased. Only negative was missing the hole 3 times from within 4 feet…

12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp

Day 286 - 2025-07-13

Mirror work in the hotel while a certain someone took their usual prolonged shower. Yesterday, played 18 in 2:00 with @DrizZzY.

Day 358: Played 18. Incredible psycho scorecard but finished +5. Also completed the birdie challenge. And the no 6s challenge, for that matter. Was not my best ball striking or driving round, but was able to hit enough good shots to make a few birdies and scrape it around.

Day 73 (13 Jul 25) (note: forgot to post the "day" for the past few days, up to day 73) - Easy day in the backyard, with time on the 50deg wedge and the mat (simulating tight lies around the green) working on low spinners.  Love using this mat as it is small and portable but also lends to being a type of alignment rod to get a proper setup.  Finished up with a few swings with the 54.

Day 74 (14 Jul 25) - Late afternoon session w/9i, magnetic alignment stick, Divot board and hard foam balls.  Worked on getting the face square at setup and then returning to same through the swing.  The lines on the Divot Board served as referenced parallels for the alignment stick.  Did hit a few balls about 30 total - half with using the alighment stick on the club face and half without.  First time working with the magnetic alignment rod - really reveals when you have the face closed/open/etc.

Day 287 - 2025-07-14

Mirror work. No time for anything else.

Day 1: Worked on putter feels and getting the backswing and follow through lengths to match. 

[WillieT]

Day 75 (15 Jul 25) - Wedge work today in the backyard.  Focused on setup and  dialing in on immediate target line point in front of club. This drill helps me to center on longer range targets for tee shots as well as approaches.  

[DeadMan]

Day 360: did some slow swings, looking for feels to get my hands forward without my hips moving super far forward.

Day 288 - 2025-07-15

Back home, but not a lot of time, so, mirror work. Got a nice polo and a nice long-sleeve polo, though. And a ball marker!

Day 2: Range work and did some lag putting

[WillieT]

Day 76 (16 Jul 25) - Full day of running here and there, got in some mirror work focused takeaway and getting into good fwd weight shift…

Day 289 - 2025-07-16

Worked for a good hour on the backswing being the right length, and then accelerating the right direction from there. Hit some 1.41 six-irons that launched at 14.4° or so.
