Here are 5 ways you can improve your golf game.
Which ones are you working on? Which ones do you need to put more time/effort into?
Let's read 👇👇👇👇
1. Swing speed
This is not just about hitting the ball far. Added swing speed allows you to get
✅less club into greens - easier to strike
✅higher, softer landing shots - getting closer to pins
✅straighter approaches
✅pleasure from goading your playing partners
2. Skill
Skill is the ability to change something precisely through intent. E.g. the ability to hit more toe/heel in 5mm increments (high skill)
Low skilled players may not even be able to change the strike at all
Differential + variability practice drills speed up skill acq.
3. Concepts
🟢Do you understand why your ball does what it does?
🟢Can you identify, when you hit a bad shot, EXACTLY what has changed from an impact perspective?
🟢What tools do you have to change this?
Having poor concepts leads to a lot of tail-chasing.
4. Practice
Whether you practice 1 hour every 2 weeks (like me), or do 3 hours a day, your practice needs to
🟢Have variety
🟢Some level of structure
🟢Improve what costs YOU the most shots
🟢Have measurable outcomes
5. Course management
Even a tour-average shot can put you in danger if you pick sucky targets.
Good strategy and target selection can pick up a LOT of marginal gains - stacking into some big gains over the course of a round.
6. Technique
Think of this as the method employed.
While there is not one singular ideal technique, there are certain movements that can make the game easier or harder.
You want to learn movements that give you bigger margins for error.
