“Hitting balls without thought or care” good point, but sometimes this is why I go to the range
Someone please straighten his hat up, I can't take him seriously when it's wonky like that.! 😂
Absolutely use the range to loosen up before a round. Start with 1/2 swings, work you way up the bag to driver, finish with wedges. Then comes the "longest walk in golf", from the driving range to the first tee! Stay loose my friends.
Great advice, reinforces what my coach says. Have a plan, practice with purpose, bring my monitor and record the data. The range is where you try new things
Is this Trump Turnberry?
I'd also say go to the short game area and spend 2/3 of your time there
use golf aides so as to get immediate feedback
play a range of shots with a range of clubs
oh my God what an awful whiny little clip that says nothing.
Great vid👌
When I hit balls I act like I'm playing an actual round of golf at a course I'm familiar with and will go through shot by shot the entire 18 holds. That typically means I start with hitting driver and yeah it makes no difference if you don't have any warmups shots. I NEVER hit the same club twice in a row because you're never going to do that in a round of golf. This is what makes sense and works for me.
I avoid weekends, 11-14.00 hrs at my range. Bunches of muscle heads all with the largest ball buckets. Trying to smash the crap, then happy Gilmore time. Next bay, the 8st ,12 year old effortlessly sending it! It doesn't detour our muscle boys though, just pick up the speed. 400 balls delivered 100-150 yds down range in 17 mins!
What if you want to practice driving ? And i don’t mean in your car.
I go to the range to loosen up
Makes a difference if the range is real grass
I always went to the range with a plan. Most times, I went thru 3 buckets (90 balls) without achieving even the simplest goal in my plan. The range is anathema to me now.
95% of these guys claiming they are teaching. Never tell you or recommend the club to use.
Wish my driving range looked that .
Very simple to sum up……..always practice with a purpose
Stick a Gopro sticky mount next to the cockpit of your trolley with a phone mount on top, this is how you always have a tripod at hand! Much better than the built in phone mount.
As a left handed golfer it feels like everyone can see u since they’re looking at u when they look up 😂😂
I use to just go to the range to wack balls….intention makes the difference.
Here's a tip: Don't waste your time hitting balls on a driving range. It's fake golf and it won't improve your game – in fact, it'll make your game worse.
The only way to get better at golf is by playing real golf – ie, hitting ONE ball on a golf course.
