Make practicing easy. Leave a
putter, a ball, and a glass next
to your desk so you can hit a
few putts. Get a short club that
you can swing inside or keep
a broom handle nearby for
stretching and flexibility drills.
Practice with a Purpose
Most golfers, when they
practice on the range are
just ingraining habits, doing
the same thing over and
over, which is why they’re
not seeing improvement on
the course. To improve, you
need to challenge yourself
and try new things. Establish
a system of games, or drills,
and visualize actual on-
course situations to make
your practice session more
valuable.
Learn Ball Flight and
Trajectory
There are nine different ball
flights that can be created to
fit a certain shot on the golf
course. Learn all nine and
practice them on the range.
When you understand ball
flight and trajectory, you will
gain understanding of your
swing and make the game
more interesting.
Seek Wisdom
Ever wonder why so few
young players win major
championships? It’s not due
to a lack of raw talent, they
just don’t have the wisdom
to compete in pressure
situations versus experienced
professionals.
When you are away from the
course, spend time thinking
about your game. Consider
your decisions from your last
round, how you were feeling
during the round, what
situations made you feel good
or bad. Then create a plan
your next round and how you
might respond the next time
you face the same situation.
Use this wisdom from Tai Chi
to improve your golf game.
