Play or practice?

[feary]

Evening all,

Got a bit of a dilemma. I had a lesson on thursday and have a few things to work on. Now the question is do I play or practice.

Its a alternate medal tomorrow, so I could play that but risk getting back into my old habits. Or risk 0.1 when I should have been practicing. Or get another solid cut to put me in the 3.something's.

Or Option 2, I practice on the range for an hour or 2. Then have a good short game practice. Could be better in the long run, but is the lure of a possible handicap cut too tempting.

Hmmmmmmmm, I'm in two minds.

Play, play, play, play, play.

Unless it's pissing down. Then the range.

practice,

No matter how much range practice you do it will never be anything like course practice... so course practice for me

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Play, but stick to what you were taught and need to work on. You might get a .1 but it will be worth it in the long run.

What's an alternate medal anyway?

 

[feary]

An alternate medal is on the other day of a weekend to the monthly medal. So say a monthly medal is on the sunday this month, the alternate will be on a saturday so it accomadates for everyone.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

Right I see so it's just a medal then

Play....standing hitting balls for an hour aint my idea of fun

Practice as you just creep back into your old habits!

Its only February for Gods sake you have all spring and summer and autumn to get your medals and scres in.

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

Practice for me. You'll have been give drills to work on for a reason and with your talent a good morning of hard work should get them ingrained pretty well. Then you can hit the course a lot more confident in what you are doing and get the cut anyway

Play and enjoy. So what if you do go up 0.1, you will soon get it back with interest.

Play, take everything to the course asap and just apply.

I have much more to worry about going up 0.1. Playing qualifying stableford on Sunday and it could be the last time i ever see single figures.

It's a no brainer, play golf man !!!!

Golf is a game where you have to take the rough with the smooth. Not playing for fear of losing 0.1 is poor, very poor

practice, whats the point in taking a lesson then not practicing??

 

[sawtooth]

Play and try to heed what the pro told you. Dont get down on yourself if you play crap. After all you are going to have to bed-in changes that you just learnt and it will take time to reap the benefit. If you are really keen then play and then walk straight onto the range afterwards.

Practice those lessons thoughts and changes. You have all summer to take that new swing to the course.
