| you don't even emphasize what exactly you're practicing? Beating balls with no purpose is pointless. One day I might take a 7-iron and work on releasing the golf club as fast as I can(Turning the toe over). Of course I always do this with a specific target in mind. Some days I just work on distance control with wedges. Always practice with a specific purpose and always have a target so you're not wasting your valuable time. A great putting drill>> when you're out playing with your friends or just screwing around by yourself try this. Every time you lag a putt near the hole or even hole out simply pull that ball back to 4 feet and putt from there and count that score for fun. This way you will have some pressure on you when practicing these important 4 foot putts. It only matters what you can do under pressure unless your a complete recreational weekend hacker only doing it for the exercise, fun or both. Shooting a 70 in a tournament and shooting one on a casual day with buddies are two entirely different animals...I found out that most people who claim to be 3 or 4 handicaps shoot scores in the 90's in my local mid-am and many other tourney's. Why? because they turn in scores in the 70's on easy courses, under laid back conditions with no pressure on their game,,, |
