"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (April 2016)
adam3553 replied to iacas's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Spent time at the practice green today working on pitch shots. I hit numerous different shots from different lies and played an up and down game. I also worked a bit on my putting. I used the coin drill for this and hit nothing but some straight 5 footers. -

Hit balls at the range today. Im still working on my backswing and making sure my shoulders are at 90* at A3. I also made alot of slow half swings trying to feel some rotation in my downswing. This is something Im currently struggling with. -

Hit up the range after work today. Im still working on my backswing and things are going pretty good. My backswing is significantly shorter than before and my contact has been 100% better and way more consistent. Practiced some putting also and doing the coin drill. -

Spent an hour and a half at the practice putting green. I worked on pitch shots and keeping my right arm moving through them. I also worked on my putting stroke by using the gate drill. I also focused on my start line. It was good to get some short game work in. -

Went to the range today. I continued to focus on my backswing for over half of the bucket. The rest of the balls I demoed the new Ping G driver. I ended up trading in my driver and a 3W for it. I didnt see much of a gain in anything with the G but it sounded and felt better than my previous driver the G30. -

Went to the range after work. Focused on my backswing checkpoints for the entire bucket. Went to the practice green and worked on pitch shots with my 58* for 45 minutes. I focused on keeping the right arm moving through the shot. -

Mirror work and mapping the backswing is what I did today. My main checkpoint in the backswing is to have my shoulders at 90* at P3. All of this is to help me shorten up my swing. I worked on this for an hour or so then worked on my putting in the living room by doing the coin drill. -

Range and mirror work today. Im working mainly on my backswing. Im trying to stop my arm lift in the backswing by letting my pivot raise the arms. A check point for me is to have my shoulders at 90* when I get to P3. Im also being conscience of not having to much wrist cOck esp. late in the backswing. I feel like Steve Stricker but in reality Im nowhere near that. -

More range work today. I focused mainly on my takeaway. I have to make sure to keep an eye on it because I can get really sloppy. I also worked more on my putting with the coin drill and clock drill. I ended the day with trying to make 10 straight 5 footers. I had to start over a couple times:) -

Hit balls at the range today. Im still working on my downswing however I paid a little attention to my takeaway. I started getting sloppy with it and I have to remember hands in and clubhead out. I also practiced my putting with the coin drill. -

"5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge (March 2016)

Just got back from my golf trip in Myrtle Beach. I had rounds of 79, 85, 78, 86, 88, and 79. My 2 worst rounds were at the 2 easiest courses we played so go figure. I did have my 78 at Kings North which was cool. I still have alot of work to do with my wedge game. Maybe it was rust since I havent played since November but I struggled with my wedges. I also have alot of work to do with the flatstick. I had countless 5 to 7 footers to save a par or putt for birdie and my make % had to be at 20%. The reason I scored decent was because I drove the ball great and kept my ball out of trouble. I went 29 holes without a double or worse to start the trip. All in all I had a great time and we played some great courses. Now I can get back to practicing for the season here in Ohio. -

Range work today. I did some takeaway drills my instructor gave me and I also worked on my weight distribution in my backswing. I ended my range session with some wedges trying to dial in some yardages. -

Had a lesson today. Me and my instructor worked some more on the takeaway and downswing. We worked on shallowing the club in transition mainly with left hand extension. Im trying to continue rotating my hips and shoulders through the ball. When I got home I worked on my putting stroke with the coin drill. -
