When people go to the driving range,
the most that they do is practice their golf skills by leaving their golf cart
covers behind, going to the driving range, and blasting away their
drivers. Although this may be a good
idea, as you can definitely work on your driving in the range, there are still
other things that you can do in the driving range. Aside from practicing your drive, there are
other techniques that you can utilize so that your time in the driving range
can be maximized. Try the tips below in
your succeeding driving range sessions.
A lot of players go to the driving range and
just mindlessly go there to socialize rather than to improve their game. Socializing with friends or business
associates is fine, but then while you are in a driving range, why not make the
most out of it by setting a goal? You
might realize that because you are too focused on everything else in the range,
you are just keeping on practicing the aspects of your game that you are
already good at. If you realize that
your putting is off, there are golf mats for you to practice even on the
driving range. You have left the golf
course, your golf cart is inside the golf cart cover, and you are in a driving
range. The goal is to make the most out of your time in the range.
· Don’t just blast all of the balls in
your bucket mindlessly.
A lot
of people when in the driving range just power off and hit all balls in their
bucket without thinking about it. It
seems that their goal is just to get rid of all the balls in the fastest time
using their most powerful drives. What’s
the point in that? Why not visualize
that you are actually in a golf course and choose specific targets for each of
your drives? By doing this, you are
determining the accuracy, as well as the range of each of your clubs. By the time you are actually in the actual
course, you’ll have a good idea of what you are capable of doing with all of
your clubs.
· When in the driving range, practice
deliberately and slowly.
Being
mindful of what you are going to practice on in the driving range will make
your time in the range more productive.
While at it, why not go through the whole routine in preparing for each
thing you ate going to do. For example
if you are practicing your full swings, take note of your pre-shot, your
address, your practice swing and swing.
This will allow you to evaluate your swing and pinpoint the flaws in
your swing. You will notice that when
you are in the real golf course, you are getting more consistent. Remember: just take note, do not think of it
too much especially when executing your shots or you will end up too worked-up
and distracted.
