Targeted Training: Practice with High Loft Clubs to Low Loft Clubs
3-Wood Tee Shot Practice, Face Control and Draw Shot Making for Course Strategy

This is the time to invest a lot of time at the practice range.

You need to refine your shots during the off-season to fully enjoy the golf season next spring. Amateur golfers often make aim mistakes. You must practice targeting accurately at the range. When practicing approach shots, set the target point at 10 meters. Take about 10 shots. Change your position to the left, right, and front to check your aim.

Some golfers just grab the driver and swing indiscriminately. It is advisable to practice starting with clubs with higher loft and then move to lower loft clubs. I start with a 58-degree wedge. I practice shots at 10m, 30m, 50m, and 70m distances in order. When I am not satisfied with my approach, I sometimes use only one club for 50 minutes.

Since there is a time limit when practicing, it is not easy to hit all clubs. I divide practice between odd-numbered and even-numbered clubs. For example, if today you use the 9, 7, and 5 irons, tomorrow you practice with the 8, 6, and 4 irons.

You also need to practice tee shots with a 3-wood. During rounds, when there is a creek or the fairway is narrow with out of bounds (OB) on both sides, it is better to use a wood rather than a driver. Trying to control distance with a driver often leads to missed shots. You need to equip yourself with the definite weapon of a wood tee shot.

Golf courses are not only straight courses. There are always dogleg holes to the left or right. Amateur golfers who have reached a certain level should practice shot making. Depending on the course, try to attack the hole with fades and draws. Practice is the only way to improve. It is a phrase that perfectly suits golf.
