Have you ever hit the ball beautifully on the range, then watched it all fall apart on the first tee? You are not alone. The range lets you hit the same club at the same target over and over, and the course never does. The fix is to make your practice look a little more like a real round.
Pick a target every time
Never hit a ball "out there." Choose a flag, a sign, or a patch of darker grass, and commit to it before you swing. Golf is a target game, so your practice should be too.
Change clubs often
On the course you rarely hit the same club twice in a row. Hit one driver, then a seven iron, then a wedge. It will feel harder at first, and that is the point. You are training your mind to reset for every shot.
Use your full routine
Step behind the ball, pick your line, take your practice swing, and then hit. Rushing through a bucket builds rhythm for the range, not for the course.
If you want a practice plan built around your game, you can book a lesson and we will set one up together.
