Most people when they go to the golf range they just buy the bucket of range balls and then start hitting with their driver usually. Everyone seems to like the long ball. They like seeing it go beyond the border of the range. Well, they would like to think so anyway.
If you want to improve your game go to the range and practice with a purpose.
2. Plan a time frame of approximately 15 minute intervals working on different areas
3. Before you start stretch.
4. Warm up with the wedge group taking half swings loosening your muscles.
5. Start working on what you planned and stick with it.
6. If you start getting frustrated change what you are working on, take a break and come back to it later.
7. Once you have completed your planned work out, cool down
8. Hit the last few balls from the bucket with half swings of the wedge aiming at same distance target.
9. Stretch again before leaving range.
When practicing at the range and not on the course you will become more consistent with your shot making and will be able to reduce your score.
I was listening to Gary Player during an interview and he told a story; He was practicing hitting sand shots at the practice green and three shots in a row went into the hole on the green. A fellow golfer saw this and commented, wow, that was sure lucky. Gary responded, yep, the more I practice the luckier I get.
Remember, enjoy the game and have fun.
Until next time take your frustrations out on the range and not the course.
Bye for now.....
