Golf Tips from Trent – Hitting ball after ball without a goal

Hitting Ball After Ball Without a Goal

Hitting ball after ball without a goal, a consequence or feeling similar to what you’ll experience on the course is not sensible. Putting multiple balls without any pressure involved or carelessly chipping or pitching a bunch of balls to a hole isn’t preparation for the actual event. Training in the form of repetitions is commonly accepted when developing mechanical improvements, but should not dominate your practice, especially once those improvements have been acquired. Being able to adapt to different lies and various terrain, having a plethora of shots in your bag, getting over mishits or misfortune and experiencing a variety of situations is more realistic and is what you’ll encounter from shot to shot, hole to hole, round to round, and course to course.
