How to Maximise Your Time at the Driving Range

When you find the time to work on your game and get down to the driving range, it's important to ensure that you're using your time effectively. It's not all about getting out the driver and swinging at the ball like a madman, hoping to make holes in the back fence; it's about improving all aspects of your game.

 

If you think you have a serious problem with your swing, then it might be wise to consult with a professional or experienced player; and ask them to observe your action. If there are any red flags they should be able to help you iron out your imperfections. After all, there is no use in spending your time practicing the incorrect swing.

 

 

 When you consider how many times you use your driver during your average round (probably between 14-16 shots depending on the course) it doesn't make sense to spend a whole session devoted to working on the drive. The majority of your shots will come from using wedges and irons, so it's important to work on these aspects of your game.

First and foremost, it's is imperative that you warm up properly. A lot of people perceive Golf as a sport that doesn't require as much athleticism as other sports. However the explosive nature of a golf swing means that you will be moving a lot of muscles at very high speeds in a twisting motion. Warming up thoroughly will not only help prevent injury, but it will also make your first few swings more effective than without warming up.
