If you are looking to improve your next round of golf do not forget to properly use the driving golf range before you hit the links.
The driving golf range is an often overlooked resource in the casual golfer's game plan. We'll take a look at the two basic uses of the driving golf range and how your approach should differ for each application. We'll look at how much additional time you should allow at the driving golf range before your next round. We'll take a look at how you can best spend your time on the golf range. And we'll take a look at what else you should work on before you tee it up.
The driving golf range has two basic uses. You can use the driving range to work on and improve your golf swing. Do you have a fundamental flaw such as a slice in your golf swing? Practice sessions on the golf driving range are the time to try and fix those flaws. Are you looking for more distance? Try those new techniques during your practice sessions.
The second use of the golf driving range is to find your game before a round of golf. Each golfer's swing is a little different each day. Warming up and hitting a few balls before a round helps us define our tendencies for that day. In the few minutes before our round on the driving golf range we are not trying to improve our overall golf game. No, we are just trying to get a handle on our game for that day. We just want to see how the ball is flying that day and maybe develop one swing thought to help us through our next round.
How much time should you spend on the driving golf range? You want to spend just enough time to loosen up and get a feel for your game. You do not want to spend endless time grinding and working on improving your swing. Just work on finding your swing for that particular day and try to find the one swing thought that will help you make repeatable swings while on the links. Next we will take a look at how you should spend your time on the driving golf range.
The temptation is to break out your driver and hit bomb after bomb while on the driving range. It is better for your scorecard if you resist this temptation. Instead start out with your shorter wedges and irons. Studies show that wedges and irons are your scoring clubs. Only after you have loosened up should you hit a few shots with your driver. You might want to finish your session on the golf driving range practicing the specific shot you will face on the first tee.
On a final note, be sure to leave a few minutes to work on your putting. Spend a few minutes on the golf putting green getting a feel for the speed of the greens. Be sure to practice putting from all different directions and distances.
