The Planned Practice

photo credit: dan taylor   Practice should have a purpose, don’t go to the range just to smack balls.  Use your range time wisely, it’s just as important as playing the game.  For a Pre-match warm-up.  Try the following:

The Range > 1)  To avoid injury take 5 minutes to stretch your back and arms.  2)  Hit 15 balls with the sand wedge.  3)  5 – 10 balls with the 9, 7, 5 irons, 5 metal and driver.  Revert back to your sand wedge and hit 15 – 20 more shots.  Concentrate on tempo.

The Chipping Green > 20 chip shots to specific targets.

The Putting Green > 8 – 10 putts from 25 and 40 ft.  Now hit 10 – 20  putts from 3 to 4 ft.
