What/How Did You Practice Today?

[cnosil]

Did about a half hour of short pitches, between about 20 to 40 yds - try to hit 4 balls in a row the same way and get them to end up in a cluster. Moderately successful .. better than the start of this season but still not good enough for the MGS All Star Team

 

 

I need to do this as well; weakest area of my game.

Spent about twenty minutes in the practice bunker from all types of lies. Went to the practice green picked a flag about 60 feet away and hit shots with everything from lob wedge to 7 iron. About 15 shots with each club switching clubs between shots. Then putted until my back told me to quit. I do this routine ever Wednesday, keeps short game sharp.

Last Sunday I chipped in 2 birds and almost another, so today I thought I would practice more chips!!  It's fun watching chips go in.  I set up two irons; one just on the green next to the fringe and the other a club length onto the green.  Then chipped from various distances so that the ball landed between the two clubs and hops over the second rolling to the hole.  I was looking for how much rollout I get with LW, SW, GW, and PW.  I found that I need to practice this more.  

 

Next, I went to the range.  Ugh!  hate the range, but I need to work on getting more rotation on backswing and followthrough.  I've gotten lazy in my old age.  Sure, I can not make a big swing and put it down the middle; easy on the body, but not conducive to short shots into the green.  I need more distance, and I had better start working on it now.  I'm not getting any younger.

Hit a number of balls today. Back range so I would alternate targets with five iron shots or a combo of wood and iron to different targets then go drop faster be balls around the practice green and play those out, come back and repeat.

 

I'm making very solid contact right now. Nearly every shot is going the same height regardless of the club that I was hitting. Even four wood off the turf is a nice high ball flight.

Ended up spending a few hours at my local golf store trying out putters. Found a couple I liked; may even convince myself to pick one up.

So... What are the front runners?

Thinking about changing my mechanics a bit to see if I have a little better consistency with my putting so today was a bit of playing with that thought.   Leader was an Odyssey Metal X Milled 330M, #9 style, and a Bettinardi Studio Stock 6.  All really different styles from what I am playing now.

Might want to read the reviews from the Bettinardi, and the up coming Odyssey.

 I have read the Bettinardi reviews and tried them in the pas; don't have anything against them and the 8802 style was one I was looking at today.  I hate the feel of the Odyssey O-works putters.    I am one of those slow to purchase types so I will be doing lots more experimenting.  Will probably make the stroke change using my current putter to see how that impacts my putting.

.........I hate the feel of the Odyssey O-works putters.......

What about the feel do you dislike?

Feels really mushy and I can't tell where on the face the ball makes impact.  I generally prefer a firmer feel with my putters.

[LBCgolfer]

Today I worked on all aspects of my game today. Ball contact, bunker shots, bump and run, flop shots, and putting.

 

All in all, a good 2+ hours of getting that work in.

Also at the range to day was Titleist ball demo day. I play the NXT Tour but was convinced today to play the proV1.

Because...??

(Cynics might say because it's more $$ to them....)

[Kenny B]

I spent 2 hours this morning on the putting green.  Why?  Because I bought a new putter!!!  When it came, I HAD to rush out and give it a try.  What did I get, you ask?  Answer:  Ping Sigma G Doon (pictures coming soon).

 

Putter is awesome on putts less than 4 feet.  I had trouble with distance control on 10-20 footers.  That's why I spent 2 hours.  By the end of my practice the Doon was feeling pretty good.  #Doon  #excited

You're absolutely correctly NXTs are fine

Putted and chipped today before all the big college games.Course was completely vacant.Most put the sticks up once Labor Day passes.Mine is almost done as well.Would rate my season as a big ?.Only played 3 times this summer and missed out on some beautiful weather.Hopefully will play more next year.

Great practice sesh!

 

Just curious - is that practice area at a public, or private, course?

(looks pretty good)

[cksurfdude]

Did some putting and chipping a few days ago .. don't know why I haven't been spending more time on the "around the clock" drill, but from now on that'll be a large part of my putting practice!

 

Followed that up the next day with an unusually productive and good range session. Focus was to make a good, synced-up turn back and through .. with holding a good posture and making clean, solid contact.

 

Hit mostly wedges - PW, 54° - and brought my DST 8i along, too. After a few of those started hitting the regular 8i nicely. A few more wedges - alternating short/long, high/low, up in stance / back in stance - then a few hybrids then a few more wedges and a few 8 irons (sorta..) towards the target; then a few drivers only to confirm to myself that it still needs to sit neglected and alone back in the garage...

 

Finished up with a bunch of wedges to the nearest (56 yd) target, and left pretty satisfied with the overall quality and consistency of the majority of my shots.

[excourse]

I'm fortunate enough took have an indoor green in the cave, so I putt every day.

No surprise it's the most consistent part of my game.

Worked on my caddy skills carrying for my son today in his practice match tonight. He got in 6 hole and won 1 up. He got to play until dark and it brought back some memories of me doing the same at his age. He is now home putting in the basement until he goes to bed. His choice not mine

worked on partial wedge shots.  Hit 20, 30, 40 yard shots on a launch monitor.   Also working on my putting setup and distance control.

Well I had all kinds of pictures of my practice area to post here but the site isn't letting me post pictures via the mobile app.

Yesterday worked on a few shots from each of a few different situations on the course .. including those dreaded bunkers... Picked one that was pretty flat with a low lip and a small mound in front of that; after a few trials of 3 balls each finally got all 3 _somewhere_ on the (very large) green.

 

Also tested out using a 60° vs the Tour Edge 58 I'd been playing, and I seem to like the standard 60 better.

 

Today is a little garage-man-cave putting practice.

No two-chips (or bunker shots)!!

 

I went to the putting green to work on distance control with my new Ping putter.  It was cold and windy; didn't last very long, but did make several 15-20 footers so I seem to be getting better.

Thanks - it will be a while until I get around to doing this.

 

I did have a good practice session yesterday BTW. Worked off some more rust from my game. I'm trying to get ready for a tournament this weekend.

Hit balls with steel shafts today for the first time in a very long time. Spent most of the session just getting used to the shafts and my XTD Forged. Man I missed that nice piercing ball flight.

Brought the shag bag to the course and practiced with my irons. I feel like I'm trying to rush everything, which is a hard habit to break. So I tried slowing down my swing and getting that Hideki pause at the top, and wow, it helped tremendously. The crazy thing is I recorded my swing and it doesn't even look like I paused, but it definitely felt like I did throughout my swing. Maybe that just goes to show how fast my tempo was, I'm not sure. But I'm not sure if I've ever hit iron shots better than I did earlier today.

Practiced see ball hit ball mentality today.Not sure how this is working.But it's working like a charm.My swing has so many many faults but oddly it works for me.Its given me many a good shots and scores in the past.At times I do wish it looked more orthodox.No matter how hard I try I just can't seem to alter what is ingrained in my motion
