Intentional Practice

The next time you find yourself on the driving range, try this series of shots, by level, to add some intention and intensity to the practice session. When practicing golf, the hardest thing to simulate is the pressures felt within a BIG TIME MOMENT. By forcing yourself play to a game plan while on the driving range, will force you to practice being in those uncomfortable situations.
