Golf Practice Drills

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Almost every feature of your golf game could be improved by practice. However, if you're similar to most people, your day is probably taken up with job and family requirements. Actually playing a round of golf, rather than practicing seems like a much better way to spend the free time that is available. But the golf practice drills help you make the most of your practice time, and they are specifically designed to improve your golfing ability. Through dealing with certain aspects of your game and undertaking your practice, you will be able to achieve more in the practice sessions and be happier with your golf game once you start playing for real.

Think about how many chances you get to play each golf shot when you're on the course? Normally, just one. Golf practice drills allow you to set up your problem shots repeatedly. Then not only will you be able to develop things like accuracy and distance control, as you will also gain confidence. Increased confidence, could have a more significant impact on your game, than any golf swing tip or new putting method. 

Golf Practice Drill - Putting

Would you like to dramatically improve your putting skills? If so, have a go at this drill. Get twenty golf balls and arrange them in a plus sign, or cross with the hole in the middle. This will give you four lines of 5 balls each.  Now, putt each golf ball into the cup. You can either clear a full line at a time or putt in the 4 nearest balls, the four second nearest, and proceed accordingly. You may increase the interest, and make this golf practice drill more valuable, by compelling yourself to start all over, on any occasion you fail to sink a putt. Through emphasizing the misses, you can increase the pressure, especially after you've putted in 15 or 16 straight. This drill will assist you in getting the feel of a winning putt and will also develop your distance putting.

You can control your putting if you keep your arms and shoulders in the shape of a triangle. If you have trouble doing this, try this golf practice drill to enhance your putting game. Take one of the other clubs and place it across your chest with the shaft under the arms. Now putt the ball whilst keeping the shaft in position. This golf practice drill will assist you in learning to keep your arms and shoulders in the best position and attain a precise, and hopefully winning putting stroke.

Golf Practice Drill - Golf Swing

Now that your putting game is on the road to better things, your golf swing may require consideration. Good body rotation is a vital element of successful golf swing methodology. This golf practice drill trains you in the correct body rotation. Take a golf club and hold it behind your head with the shaft resting on your shoulders. Take a stance similar to when you are about to hit the golf ball.  Don't slack off as this is a drill to improve your posture. Turn round until the shaft of the club behind your head is pointing straight up and down. Finish the drill by rotating at the waist, and imagine that you are swinging through the ball. Practice this rotating procedure several times throughout your practice session. Have you heard of physical memory? This is teaching your muscles to remember and recall what the correct rotation requires.
