My practice goals for today’s practice 

 

Establish Solid Contact

Build Feel and Timing

Feedback and Improve

When I am teaching a beginner or someone is just getting back into the game after a long lay off, it is important to start simple. The first goal is to establish consistent contact. You do this by hitting small shots and focusing on your tempo.

Practice Structure I progress from short to long shots. I then evaluate my practice and end my practice working on my weakness and reinforcing good tempo. See below for my practice broken down.

Important Note You probably do not have a couple of the training devices I use for this practice. You can use the traditional practice method to simulate both training aids.

Blast Motion Sensor pay special attention to your tempo, try to repeat your tempo consistently on the wedge shots.

Gabe Swing Trainer simulate the Gabe Swing Trainer by pausing at the top of your golf swing. Be very disciplined and relaxed when you start your down swing.

]]> SEE IT, FEEL IT, TRUST IT – A short game drill for you to try
This is a chipping, short game drill that helps you improve your chipping quickly. You will use a variety of clubs from the same distance and see if using the less lofted clubs is a benefit.

  1. Choose a chip shot that is on the edge of the green, approximately 20-25 feet away from the hole
  2. Use your 6-iron and go through your regular pre-shot routine

A quality pre-shot routine should have 3 aspects

  1. Visualization For most people, visualization is difficult; so ask yourself where you want the ball to land and how the ball will roll into the hole after it lands.
  2. Feel After you have a good visual of the shot in your minds eye, take some practice swings to feel the shot you have already visualized.
  3. Trust When you are over the ball, say to yourself “TRUST IT”

Hit your 6-iron until you hole the chip. Then proceed to your 7-iron and so on until you get all the way through your PW. This is a minimum of 5 shots. See how close you can get to the score of 5 each time. Remember, do your pre-shot routine with every shot!
