Warm-up
- 10 reps squat
- 10 reps (each side) standing rotations
- 10 reps (each side) golf posture rotations
- Chest/shoulder/tricep stretch
- 10 reps Overhead extensions
- 10 reps (each side) kneeling hip flexor stretch
Putting
- Mirror work – 15 minutes
- Focus on Setup, balance and tempo. Putts hit with eyes closed to determine body movement
- 3,4,5 by 5 (star drill)
- 10 Reps leapfrog
- Notes –
- Putting with my eyes closed during my mirror work really helped me feel the movement of my body. This helped me gain a sense of stability in my stroke. It also helped to smooth the takeaway out a touch and maintain a better rhythm throughout the strokes. These are feelings I can build upon.
- 3,4,5 x5 completion time 15:05. Really noticed the effects of tension in this drill. As it would ramp up as I got farther along, I would inevitably miss one and have to start over. Again, the take away and not snatching the putter back is critical
- Leapfrog scores- 4, 3, 3, 1, 3, 5, 2. Completed 7 rounds due to time. Started with Uphill and then alternated downhill putts.
Short game
- Trail arm only – 15 minutes
- Focus on set up and rotation
- High, low, medium – 15 minutes
- 3 clubs, 3 trajectories, same hole
- 6 x 3 (easy, medium, hard)
- Notes –
- 15 minutes is too long for trail arm only. How can I better bring that feeling to normal technique? Should it be two shots with 1 arm then 1 shot normal?
- Again: Balance, Tempo, and Tension. Dial them in
- Didn’t do 6×3 due to time
Full Swing
- Wedge leapfrog
- 5×3 Balance, Tempo, Tension
- 5×5 52 card pick up (shot shape and trajectory)
- 5×3 set go drills and building connection
- 5×3 Balance, Tempo, Tension
- Wedge leapfrog, 3 sets
- Notes-
- Wedge leap frog is an excellent drill to get warmed up. I did better than I thought I would for the first time doing this drill. I only had 2 shots which did not fly past the previous ball. Though the leaps were larger than I would have liked.
- Balance seems to be in a good spot. I had the ability to hit shots with feet together, one legged, and with eyes closed. It did feel like I had to swing “slower” while doing these shots which helps with tempo.
- Slowing down the tempo helps me to feel where the club is better and what my body is doing. With the slower tempo contact felt much better, at least more consistent. I believe in my desire to hit the ball farther with the irons, my tempo got overly quick trying to hit it too hard. Which was detrimental to the goal. Slower = Longer.
- Didn’t do 52 card pick up (forgot my cards), or the ending wedge leap frog due to time.
