How To Use Your Driving Range Golf Practice Sessions To Improve Your Game

By: The Golf Swing Genius

What you do in your golf practice sessions on the driving range will make a huge difference in how you play out on the golf course. It is very important to simulate your practice sessions so you are doing things how you would out on the actual golf course.

When working on your full swing on the driving range, there are a few helpful tips that will allow you to be more successful with your game. First of all when you are on the range, you should always have a target you are hitting towards. Whether it�s a flag, a tree, or bunker, it�s very helpful and necessary to know where you are trying to hit your golf shots. When you are out on the golf course, you always have a target so that is why you should also have a target for every shot you hit on the driving range.

Also, change targets once in awhile as well as the club you are hitting. Hitting 100 balls with the same club to the same target can limit your productivity. Try hitting 5 balls with one club to a target, and then 5 balls with another club to a different target. This will allow you mind to become more focused and get a better feel for actual shots you are likely to hit on the golf course.

Work on a change or adjustment with your golf swing on the range until it becomes more comfortable and natural. The driving range is where you want to focus on your technique and any adjustments you may be making with your golf swing. When you go out to play on the course, you want to be thinking thoughts about feel and tempo rather than technique. Get the technical thoughts out of the way on the driving range so your swing gets better and then becomes more natural on the course.

The pros spend at least half of their practice time working on their short games and their putting. This is the fastest way to shoot lower golf scores so I recommend that all golfers spend a good percentage of their practice time in these areas also. Don�t burn yourself out on the driving range either. Pace yourself in your practice sessions so you are focused on quality and not quantity.
