Practice Makes

Perfect

, or Does It?

ONCE WHEN GOLFING

with

our twin grandsons, who were

6 years old at the time and their

brother, who was 10, one of the

twins gave up playing on the

fourth hole. The other brother

continued to play the entire 9

holes. When my wife praised

him for continuing to play and

not quit like his bother.

He looked at her with wonder,

and said,

Well, you have to

practice if you want to get

good.”

That’s true to an extent.

It’s deliberate practice that

makes perfect.

Having drills that train a certain

proper swing technique or

movement and then practicing

to gain a repetitive motion that

will repeat under pressure is the

correct way to practice.

But it also helps to have the

conviction and willingness to

stick to the routine and put the

time on the range to improve.

“Practice

doesn’t always

make perfect

if you’re doing

it WRONG!”
