Pratice?

[mono217]

I have atleast 2 hours a day for the next 2 months free to practice and for 6 months after that all day every day.

So how will I make good practice any help or ideas welcome.

Thanks guys

That's a lot of practice time! I'd do 30 mins on full shots, then pitching, chipping and putting (30 mins on each section)

I def wouldn't spend much more than 30 mins on full shots. Hit enough solid shots and move on if you can quickly (not sure what your HC is though). If you can hit it well then leave that aspect where it is and work on the short game. Its from 100 yards that you'll reap the benefits.

What facilities have you got available?

Single figures by the end of the year then Mono!

I'd suggest putting a structured plan together, in 15 and 30 minute sections, so as not to get bored easily. Then you have a purpose to the practice time. Make sure every shot counts, and make a point of trying something new or different and noting what worked and what didn't. Also allow yourself some fun time whilst practicing.

Not very different to planning a revision schedule really!

I'm no golf pro, but I was a professional instructor in another sport. The principles of good practice are the same in any sport.

Have fun. You're only young once.

Hey Mono - whatever you decide on, I hope you do well

Just remember Mono, practice with a purpose, quality not necessarily quantity is the way to do it.

Stick in young man

a structured approach will def be best, why not ask your club pro to help you? At our course the pro's are always helpful with juniors looking to improve.
Good Luck!

Just make sure there is a good teaching pro in your plan.

Practice makes automatic; so work with your club pro to make sure you are working on the right elements of your game. Pitching, chipping, bunker play and putting will make up about 70% of your game so it's wise to match that much time in practice. It's enjoyable to beat balls with your driver and irons at the range but it might not lower your score. Beyond those basic elements, the best way to practice and improve is to set specific goals you would like to achieve in 6 months time. Break those goals down so that you are working on specific, measurable goals for each practice session. You should record what you do in each session. For instance, how many balls did you hit in each section of your practice and build in some feedback also. For example, out of 25 putts from 4 feet, 8 might have missed on the low side. That will give you something to address in the next session. And you can work out your typical success rate. Without recording your effort and your improvement, it will be difficult to know whether you are progressing beyond a general assumption that you might be improving.

All the best with lowering your scores
