A lot of us stuck in winter weather are forced to keep our game alive by visiting in-door driving ranges. Here are four practice tips for the driving range to help you keep your golf game sharp until the weather warms up.
- Don’t go out there just looking to make contact. Find a flaw in your game and work on correcting it. Everyone should have a game plan before hitting the range.
- Try and always aim for a particular target. A lot of ranges will put flags or yardage markers out for you to aim at. If that’s not available, just try to hit a general area each time.
- It’s not all about the long ball. It’s key to get in time to work on your short game as well.
- Don’t play for too long. It’s really easy to overwork yourself at the driving range. Your shots come fast and furiously without the normal downtime in between shots you get when playing a real round. Be careful not to overextend yourself.
These tips should be useful to any golfer, actually, regardless of the season. If you can actually go out and play a round right now then getting in practice at the driving range is important as well.
