How Do You Practice Golf Correctly?
Golf is a game played on a five inch course-the distance between your ears
Good practice habits are essential to develop a better golfer. Tour professionals work extremely hard to develop good practice habits. The key to developing good practice habits is learning how to allocate ones time on the practice tee. Practicing is not a contest to see who can hit the most balls.The golfer should remember that practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Perfect practice makes perfect results.
Fundamentals of good golf practice habits : Driving Range
The golfer should spend at least 50 percent of the time hitting pitch shots, chip shots, and sand shots.The other 50 percent of the time should be devoted to full swings and visualization of proper full swings.
The majority of full swing time on the range should be devoted to hitting short and middle irons. The practice session should be finished by hitting no more than 20 driver swings.
This procedure insures that the golfer spends most of his time developing good tempo and timing. Also, by hitting short and middle irons, the golfer develops confidence in his ball striking ability.
Start the practice session hitting pitch shots and then full pitching wedges. This insures that the golfer works on the most important part of the golf swing (the first part of the backswing and the first part of the downswing). This type session develops better tempo. Starting with small swings helps to prevent back and shoulder injuries which occur by not having fully relaxed or inflexible muscles.
