You have probably heard that practice makes perfect. Well, I am not sure about the perfect, but I do believe that "proper practice makes better". Since most people don't have the time to spend practicing hours on end, it is vital that a golfer focuses more of his/her time on "proper practice."
What is proper practice?
Well, it is NOT (1) whacking balls on the range for a couple of minutes before your tee time (2) unfocused rolling of balls on the putting green (3) standing around talking to your buddies...I am not judging, I have done this, too. I know there is really no value to this except that it probably beats sitting on the couch watching re-runs of SCRUBS.
I see proper practice as the following:
(a) goal oriented
(b) gives feedback for a particular move
(c) challenging
(d) measurable
(e) slow
(f) more like you play
(g) not always fun
(h) pretty much the only way to get better....
If you lack proper practice in your golfing life, we can help. For 2011, we are going to be offering Supervised Practice Sessions. Just like our Coaching Sessions (Elite teams or Junior Coaching), I will be there to set up practice stations that cover all areas of the game. I will also be there to oversee that you are doing your drills correctly and giving some feedback as to how you challenge yourself everyweek.
Take advantage of these supervised practice sessions. I have scheduled them later in the evening so there are no excuses for not practicing properly during 2011. Make this year YOURS for improvement!
Regards,
Steven
