Jim Leisenring is a golf professional, instructor and general manager of Talking Rock Golf Club in Prescott, Ariz. Here's a tip from Leisenring on how to get the most out of your practice sessions at the driving range:
During a game, you only have one shot to hit the ball the way you want. Take this same approach to practice. Identify a specific target and hit each practice shot with the same concentration you give your shots on the golf course. Go through the same pre-shot routine you use when you play. Hit and evaluate each practice shot with the same effort. Only then are you truly practicing the same shots you hit on the course. On average, you will be hitting less practice shots per session but will get much more out of the shots you hit. Additionally, you will further develop and engrain your routines - a key element to playing more consistent golf.
