At the driving range hitting balls I suggest you think of your practice time as golf swing training (paradigm shift) so like other sports training you work with a plan or structure. Your training session should include an intended goal for that day. What part of your golf game needs the most help? What issue is causing your score to increase over the last few golf games? Decide on one specific goal and then put forth your best. For example, like many of us, you may choose to work hard at getting rid of the dreaded slice. Focus hard on just eliminating your slice through a change in your body’s movements. Target Every Shot On the driving range, always make it a goal to hit a specific target instead of simply hitting balls into the air. Sending balls flying through the driving range may be fun, but it is counterproductive to learning and correcting your golf game mistakes. Without focusing on a specific target, how can you ever tell if you are hitting the ball accurately or not? The driving range offers little consequence when making a handful of bad shots. So make sure every shot you take on the driving range has a target to hit towards. How close you come to your goal for each swing will let you know if your swing and overall striking technique is at the level it should be for your playing experience. Relax, Learn To Rest Once focusing on your shots having hit a few with perfection, take a step back and stop working on the particular problem for a little while. Most golfers over do their practice time and continue to work hard, too hard in fact, to the point where they are getting tired and start to make the same mistakes. Walk away after performing immaculate shots. Allow your mind to soak in the muscle memory. Relax your body and take a break. You should never overdo it. Let your mind and body flow at ease. Always keep in mind you will be playing golf for a very long time and nobody becomes a professional overnight. Keep it simple, relaxed, and fun.
