Sample Practice Session.

Here is a sample practice session. If yours does not look like this, that is ok. But, if you want to quality practice, maybe this is something to think about.

Goal of the practice: Improve my ball Contact with my irons. 30 minutes on the range.

Plan / Type of Practice:
* 00-05 minutes - Tempo. BLOCK STYLE (Drag and Hit). No focus on results. No judgement. Get the tempo.
* 05-10 minutes - Focus on striking the ground. Hit 40m pitch shots for better feel. Introduce 1 full swing after every 5 practice shots. RANDOM STYLE practice.
* 10-15 minutes - Focus on better balance in my swing. Start over my routine after every shot. Change target and club after every shot for variety. RANDOM STYLE of practice.
* 15-25 minutes - PLAY. Focus on playing the course on the range. Introduce the feeling of nerves by thinking about playing with my idols (Tiger, Phil, Robert Karlsson, etc) or with someone I don't know. Create consequence with different barriers (out of bounds, water hazards, bunker). RANDOM STYLE of practice.
* 5 minutes for TEMPO. BLOCK style of practice. Get the feeling in your body.
* 3 minutes for entré into your journal. This time is vital for your brain to assess what you have learned and to remember for next time.

Variety must be an important part of your training. Have a specific goal in mind (which determines the practice method) and change it up to keep your concentration. Good luck!
