Practice!
Often times when taking lessons, students mistake the lesson time for actual practice. It's the case of "I learned new information, now I am good to go." The idea of the lesson is evaluate what/how you have been practicing, and move forward into new challenges and new opportunities for learning. Practice is the application of the information from the lesson.
If you practice for hours at a time without seeing improvement, the problem could be HOW you practice. Are you engaged in the process, or does your practice session see you banging lots of balls on the range? I am off the mindset, that one should be mentally exhausted after a practice session.
2011 is a year that I would challenge you to practice more effeciently. Here is a great little practice idea that I learned from Neil Plimmer, one of the UK's top instructors: Enjoy!

Steven,
ReplyDeleteI like this post.
It is surely an area that reminds me of sunscreen.
You tell people about it enough in hopes that they listen and the ones that do reap the rewards for a lifetime.
