Weekly Practice Plan

If you go to the range and don’t really know how to practice then here is a handy range session plan to help you optimise your sessions.

Structure your 100 balls practice

*Technical work at home - 10 minutes rehearsing your ideal swing in the mirror as slow as you can. Once you get your desired position, exaggerate that feeling and go too far. Keep swapping between these feelings to create more awareness of your movements.

*Technical work: 20 balls using the same club and without a target. Focus on creating the desired movement patterns performing shots slowly and adding any drills that will give you feedback if you are doing it correctly or not. You may want to video your swing for better feedback of your desired motion.

*Transition training - 10 balls with different clubs to different targets. Go through your full routine each shot.

*Performance training - First to 10 points. Play against a friend on the range going to different targets and score points for who gets the ball closest.

Tempo Training - 10 balls varying tempo of your swing from crazy smooth to pushing yourself to crazy fast.

*Driving accuracy test - 10 shots varying the fairway with each shot. The average fairway is 32 yards wide and the average tour player hits 57% of fairways.

*Shot shaping - 10 balls shot shaping and trajectory variation. Work on your ability to vary trajectory and curvature.

*Chipping - Median leave game. 9 balls from 20 yards off a good lie.

100 shooter 11 foot

90 shooter 10 foot

80 shooter 7 foot

Average Pro 6 foot

Kick away the 4 closest and 4 furthest away to reveal your median leave

*Putting - work from home focussing on start line. Get a 1 meter ruler and place upon a fat floor. Your goal is to putt your ball down the ruler without it falling off the side 3 times in a row.
