New golfers spend a lot of time on the driving range to practice their swings and their shots. Even if they do keep on swinging their irons and woods as well as their put in the driving range and feel they have their place, grip and body mechanics down pat, they find that surprising when they can not translate their flawless practice sessions to lower scores when they actually play in the golf course. They're doing the exact same thing they did at practice, but they're having dogs left and right, with majority of the balls either out-of-bounds or in a water hazard somewhere.
One of the reasons why this discrepancy seems to be happening lies in how the golfer conducts his practice sessions. When a player begins to learn this sport, it is natural to hit bucket after bucket of balls. It helps practice one's swing. However, when a novice golfer is ready to play, he or she should conduct his or her practices to mimic an actual round in the course.
How can this be done?
For starters, you should not be swinging with only one club. There's a good reason why you're allowed to carry a maximum of 14 clubs while you play– you will not be using only one for the entire game. Depending on the kind of shot you will be taking and the position of the ball, you need to change clubs often in your practice as you would in any regular round of golf.
Next, you can practice like you play if you change your targets often. You do not hit the same target twice in golf, so you have to approximate the different shots you will take from different targets.
Finally, practice your putting on the green. Most go to the driving range with the intent of practicing only their long drives. You've got to practice sinking the putt as well.
By following these tips, you should be able to bring your practice play to the green and lower your score.
Happy golfing!
