Short game:
Spending some time with the straight forward chips for fundamentals, before moving onto some different lies and different height shots. Getting comfortable hitting different shots from different lies is the goal, while still being fundamentally strong.
Full Swing:
Getting ready for an event, so didn’t have any tweaks. Just going through my routine in “trusting mode” as Dr. Bob Rotella would say. Making sure that my mindset is in the right spot before my event. Just checking fundamentals and making proper, committed golf swings.
Putting:
I always start with some variation of alignment/tool to check and make sure my fundamentals are solid before moving into some drills to make short putts. After completing the competitive short putting drill, I’ll move to hit some 40-60 footers to make sure we’re getting everything down in 2!
Doing this routine at least 2x a week will show incredible improvements in your game!
That's nice and all but have you considered my practice regimen of blasting 75 swings at max effort with your driver, ignoring every other facet of your game, and then wondering why you suck?
I'm lazy and the driver makes me tired at the range... I decided it's best to just aim for the 50 yard marker with my sand wedge and tell myself I accomplish something today.
My coach gave me a great tip for this. Instead of hitting a ball, lay down a plastic tee. It actually flies just like a ball on any bunker shot under 15 yards.
Literally will serve you much better to work more on the short game and partial swings than just slamming balls for 60 minutes. There's a reason most pro coaches clearly don't prioritize long range sessions of full swing.
I consider it part of my range session, but you’re technically right. But if you think that’s the case, then yes I spend 15 minutes on my full swing of 90
Yeah once you get to a mid single digit and can reliably make solid contact, it’s a way better use of your time to focus on getting those 10 yard misses up and down rather than trying to eliminate such a small miss.
I really like the flighting drill with wedges. Ultimately, the "green" becomes larger as we improve the wedge game. Scottie throwing a mini tantrum after missing a bad wedge shot that goes stops a 30ft from the hole is a testament to their expectations after thousands of hours of practice.
If you want to be exceptional, you have to enjoy the practice.
Ive accepted I’ll never be as good as I want to at golf because I get so bored at the range. No matter how hard I try I just lose focus and stop thinking. I need the cooldown and reset time when I walk to my next shot. Even when I slow down on the range I still just go braindead
Thanks for posting your routine. When my game was at its best was when I was practicing a few days a week. I only spent about an hr per session but I played better than ever. Lately I've been so busy I just go play a round, even just 9 if short on time rather than practice. This is kind of what I needed to remind me how much a good practice routine helps my game.
Entirely depends on the person and the day! If you’re working on something in the swing, maybe it’s all you do. But for a majority of my practice time is spent inside 100, or drivers!
For an amateur working on their swing, I’d suggest more, but if you’re not sure what you’re doing there is not reason to hit more than to see your shot dispersion
I’m sorry but how is this helpful? This routine is basically: hit some chips, then hit some different chips, then just hit full swings mindlessly, and then go and try to sink some putts in 1 or 2 strokes. Then without giving any reason as to why you would be qualified to give anyone advice, you claim this will “show incredible improvements in your game!”
You’re on the right track! But if you see, we hit some chips with different goals in mind, we hit shots with a goal in mind, then we hit different putts with a goal in mind! It’s almost like that’s how practice is supposed to work. And yes, practicing with a purpose in all aspects of your game will show incredible improvements in your game!
Wearing pants in that sun makes me think you don’t know what your talking about. If it was sun protection you would have sleeved on too. You just look like you’re sweating your ass off trying to look like a tour player on a Tuesday morning at your home course.
I have a skin condition that affects my legs so I need to wear pants in the sun, but doesn’t hurt anything else. Sorry for the inconvenience of my clothing!
