Spending more time practicing is not enough. If you are not paying attention to the way you practice, you can just get better … making it wrong. Most players go to the range hoping to improve, but often walk away after strengthening the same mistakes that keep them back. Knowing to practice allows you to monitor the feedback, simulate pressure and conditions on the course and ensure that you are not wasteing your time. Here are eight golf practice errors the best players never make them.
Practicing only before a round
One can argue that practice before a round is not practice, it is a heat. The best players block the range of range during the week and sometimes even after a round, never before.
The post -round sessions are where these best players address what went wrong and adjust the shake or short game with less pressure and more concentration.
Configuration and extension checks
I know you’re tired of listening to this but I still see most of the middle up to high handicappers practicing without sticks (or clubs) on the ground to create a practical session.
Poor practice trains poor purpose and strengthens compensation at the rate.
Put a station for yourself when you reach the range and ideally make sure you have:
- A target line of ball
- Leg
- Guide to ball position
Hitting the balls very quickly
I am guilty of this and I had to work deliberately to slow down my practice sessions. I play quickly and I like to fix things quickly, but practicing quick is not the way to continue it.
Rapid discharge not only creates tension, but prevents you from analyzing your shooting. You end up reacting, but not learning.
The best players hit some balls and pauses. They get some practical oscillations and then turn into full -focus. For me, the solution was to put the ball basket a few meters away. I have to walk to catch every golf ball instead of attracting only another and hitting you again.
Not switching from training to game mode to a session point
I do not fully buy the idea that any practical session should feel like a round of golf. Yes, this is part of it, but sometimes you have to dig into your mechanics. This job has a place and it must be built in your routine.
What the best players make is both. They know when they work on mechanics and when they go through performance mode.
This transition to performance mode can mean random clubs, shot forms and targets to simulate real decisions on the course. Playing a few holes from the course of your home is a great way to prove yourself. Hit a car, an iron, a chip, and then visualize the other hole.
Avoiding Clubs Problem
If you top your forests in the fairway on the course, do not be afraid to bring them out in the direction range. Some players are afraid to hit bad shots in the range, but let it go.
Best players spend more time in clubs that harm their game more. When they warm up and get married, they build knowledge with their weaker clubs. They seek shaky thoughts and feelings that can take with them the next time they play these shots on the course.
Do not use feedback tools
Not every string session must be filled with Starting Monitors and training aids. However, some basic feedback tools are smart to have with you while practicing.
These may include:
- Clubface Tape or Spray Foot
- A towel or foam piece to monitor the low point
- Video from the right angles (not shots at the ground level that distort the oscillation)
- Start the monitor data
Not practicing under pressure
Why do some players go to big championships while others flourish? The pressure, simple and simple. The same thing happens for amateurs who hit the ball greatly in the range but dash.
You need to know how your oscillation continues when it matters. Build pressure on your practice by hitting a stroke with a ball in a defined target (with consequences). If you are missing, you may have to repeat it or hit five extra balls.
When I was a kid, I had a coach who allowed me to choose between the holidays or a lap around the range, if I cut two discs in a row. (Just happened to me that this might be why my miss is a blow!)
Leaving the final ball to dictate the whole session
Hitting a bad (last) blow should not wipe all the work you just entered. A perfect end tells us nothing about the practice session as a whole.
Take notes on your phone after a practical session and write what it worked and what not. You may think you will remember, but life gets busy and these shaky thoughts may be lost. When I was teaching Golf, I would write a summary for students after the lesson and they kept these notes in their golf bags. Made a difference.
Final thoughts
The most difficult part about golf practice is finding time to fit it. If you have time, make sure you are not making any of these golf practice mistakes. Shorter and efficient sessions of the interval may be exactly what your game needs.
