Productive Practice Equals Lower Scores

When a golfer decides to devote time to practice, it is important to have a plan for the session. Here are five suggestions to get the most out of your practice session.

1. Always hit your ball to a very specific target. You would never (I hope!) hit a shot on the golf course to a wide, general area.
2. Never hit more than three balls at the same target. Change targets, change your club, change something. It will keep you thinking and focused.
3. Practice hitting balls from strange situations ... side hill lies, out of the rough, out of divots, off hardpan surfaces. How many 5-iron shots on perfectly level ground do you actually hit when you play?
4. Actually play the golf course on the driving range.  Hit the tee shot, hit the second shot and so on.  Treat every shot like it means something.
5. Always save time to practice some short game shots.  This includes putting.

If you try these five suggestions, I think you will get more out of your practices and therefore the practice will pay off on the golf course.  Good luck and be creative with your practice.
