Golf Tips

The following practice strategies for the driving range can help you become more game ready.

Develop and practice a pre shot routine for all areas of you game.
Hit to targets while practicing. Know the distance to the target and this will help you determine your yardage for each club.
Practice as if playing a game. Hit one drive, then a fairway wood, followed by a pitch and then a chip.
Set boundaries in the range to outline what would be the width of a fairway on the golf course. Play your favorite course and imagine every shot and hole that you are playing.
Be competitive with a friend while practicing. Use the targets at the practice range to play a simple game of who’s closest to the hole. On the practice green, play an 18-hole match play competition. Get use to being more competitive and putting your skills on the line.
Set realistic goals for your game.
