How to Get the Most out of Your Golf PracticeTom Barber, a veteran golf instructor for over 30 years, offers some simple advice for practice techniques that can improve your golf game: - Have a goal or don't
While it's great to start your golf practice session with a stated goal, something specific you want to improve, every once in awhile just go out there, relax and unwind.
- Make practice sessions like the game
If you treat each drive hole as if it were the real thing, you'll be more likely to develop skills that will transfer to your real game.
- Use video
Slow motion and freeze-frame video helps you analyze every aspect of the swing. You can even use a split-screen to compare your swing to that of a great golfer.
- Think positive
Be aware of your thinking. Your game is going to suffer if you're mentally focused on a lousy shot you just made. Leave the negative experiences behind you, and think positive.
