GOLF PRACTICE DEBATE: What should you do on the range?

[@paulbutler5052]

This is exactly how I practice. I only have time to play once a month and practice fortnightly, while trying to maintain a 6 hcp So my time at the range is important. I worked out what’s best for me. Block practice driver, vary irons , wedges and woods. Then introduce driver into the varying of clubs and targets. 4 foot circle putting then lag putting - home

[@adamyounggolf1]

Great points from Luke 12 mins in. Changing targets is classed as random, even if you’re still hitting your stock shot. But the act of changing target (like real life) will produce a wider and, more importantly, realistic shot dispersion.

Scott is by far my favorite voice in the golf world right now. He’s very adamant about his thoughts. Often gets (unfairly) called a “know-it-all” because he challenges traditional wisdom. But they also said things about Sean Foley for using his trackman and all that. And now what does everyone do on the range. Scott is changing golf for the better. He’s a trailblazer in his own way. And while it’s easy to follow, it’s much harder to be the one who initially confronts the standard narrative. Eventually it will flip, and we will all praise his work. I’m thankful to have found his knowledge and info back in 2020. Keep going

Scott philosophy is more on I will play with what I have got (pre round practice) benoit’s is more long term technical and psychological changing. Both are important and necessary. But they need to be incorporated in a training periodization.

Just found this site. Love the scientific approach to learning golf. Much of the discussions here are covered in our Masters program at Keiser University. Good stuff.

Appreciate the comment! Glad you’re enjoying

[@50--11]

This is so brilliant. Thx GSL for letting Scott share his POV.

[@JohnnyCarthief]

Block practice to get a repeatable swing. That’s the foundation. Add context as you get a good repeatable swing.

[@liamwhitfield6076]

Really interesting debate and an enjoyable video. Great work.

[@golfsciencelab]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Headhunter425USMC]

The camera work is hilarious. Should have used a camera stand, 😂.

[@MarcusLindeberg]

like an episode of the office

[@seanlawson257]

At the 15 minute mark when he starts going into driver and ball position. That is what I've been feeling this past summer when playing and could never describe it specifically. I always just said i felt uncomfortable over the ball with a driver and this clears that up.

[@HB041]

What a great video!!! Thanks y OU guys. A lot of great inputs

[@CharlesFromage]

Guessing the Baltimore place kicker was Matt Stover since he played a long time with Ray Lewis, is from TX and seems old enough to have a teenage kid playing golf.

[@Weshopwizard]

Moving the ball around is cool if your only obligation is to play (professional). The guy in the pink shirt’s method should be better for the casual player.

[@markmyers3409]

For me: block practice on the range and variable practice on the course.

[@Terio174]

Random practice for someone who is grooving a new swing seems very inefficient. In my opinion until you can repeat a swing and swing result with as many variables as possible removed, how are you going to do it on a course? Granted you have to mindful of what you are doing with video, trackman, etc. Obviously mindlessly pounding balls of the mat won’t do much good in terms of getting better if you don’t fully take in the feels of what you think your doing and what your actually doing.

[@jeffbadke5932]

I will be honest...it seemed like an interesting discussion by 2 guys very passionate about what they do, but I'm not sure I got anything out of their discussion. Like listening to 2 great musicians playing a song. Somewhere in all the "notes" is a melody, but it gets lost in all their "riffs".

[@adrianjones5521]

Hand Scott a left handed club and tell him to hit it competently right now on the next shot. You must learn the math of impact as an adult learner.

[@Bradington]

Are the camera guys drunk? Content is great but the production is giving me motion sickness.

[@golfsciencelab]

😂

[@ChristianHThum]

What is Scott's last name?

[@marcvanderbilt9324]

Have some fun?

[@toneyo4794]

Shakiest cameraman ever!

[@laikmiandu]

not on topic, but what are the pants Scott is wearing?

[@golfsciencelab]

HAHA. That's too random of a question not to ask him.

[@damonkatos4271]

Your jumpy video is giving me a panic attack Hold the frickin camera still

[@ryanhorner1675]

Shakiest video I've ever seen. Distractingly bad

[@golfsciencelab]

Sorry about that. We'll try to do better next time for you :)

[@markschlossberg3086]

Ignorant. The brain (neuroplasticity) functions according to definitive processes. One can not disagree differ in opinion when we have foundational facts. Does he also posit that gravity does not exist, or that water is not comprised of H2O?

[@richardgoodfellow8107]

Geez buddy settle. Sure, that applies when you're acquiring the skill, can you prove the same applies later once the skill already exists? Thus, Scott's point in his context block is perfectly suitable. For the rest of us hacks random is superior.. great video, really enjoyed the conversation!
