While at Golf Driving Range
Posted by admin on July 10th, 2009
A driving range is an area where golfers can practice their swing. Irrespective whether you are a beginner or a professional golf player, you still go to driving range to improve your swings and games.
But before you think of hitting hard the ball at the driving range, here are some things to ponder:-
Set Your Target Before go to the driving range
This can create big impact to the improvement of your games. Set a target in your practice. Let say, your objective is to hit the ball which goes 120 to 130 yards. So make sure you focus and swing correctly to achieve the goal. This will make your practice more meaningful.
Golf is a Relax Game
Slow and steady. That is the key to anything. When you feel relax, you will be able to pay 100% attention to your swing which can result the ball going into the right direction & length.
Don’t Hit The Golf Ball
I still remember my first day of training with my coach, he always said “Don’t hit the ball, but hit the carpet” Hey come on! I come to hit the ball… That is a long time ago, but actually what he try to say is don’t force your self to see how far can the ball goes. As a new player, you must practice to sweep the carpet first before you hit the ball.
Iron or Driver
Some time I see a few people start with golf driver first. When I ask my coach, his opinion is to start off with iron 7. The use of driver needs more energy and strong control in your swing. So, as a beginner you may have difficulties. But don’t bring only your 7 iron, bring also your 6 and 9, so that you can have a few choices to hit the ball and adjust your swing.
Which Driving Range is better
Which one is better? That is up to your budget. Because golf driving range has 2 types, public or private driving ranges. Normally the public driving range is used for the public and the cost is not that expensive and you can hit the ball from the driving range mat.
The private driving range is quite costly, but of course you can hit the ball from the green itself. Once again, it is up to your convenience and your budget.
Another thing is to make sure you fix the schedule to visit the driving range, to ensure your consistency in your training. Cause having more sessions will brush up your swings patterns easy.
