@@joshuaking1194 Me three. So much has changed and all this super tech. I've updated my woods, but will always play the blades with which I learned to work the ball (when balls were balata covered and rubber wound of course). I hope range balls aren't as rock hard as they used to be.

[@Stephno86]

Rick from playing 3 months of playing the sport i went from 130 score on my first day to 82 today,all from watching yours and only your vids :) thanks so much for sharing your knowledge :)

[@Gitfiddle]

When I started practicing like I played I got better. Hit like you’re playing a round of golf. Driver, 5 iron. Driver 7 iron. 3 wood pitching wedge. I’d also try to remember the anxiety of the first tee and hit balls feeling nervous. That really helped me. What a great video !!!

I really enjoy these tips. I just recently got into golfing and couldn’t even get off the tee box, just broke 100 for the first time. I’ve only played 3 full 18 holes ever… not good but I’ve definitely improved from these tips.

[@rallen1449]

It’s all about having fun!

[@johnoolo]

That would be a dream, I work and work and work. Still can't put an under 100 game together.

[@1ofthewizards330]

Keep at it. I just started playing last year and was over 100 the entire first season. I broke 100 my second time out this year, and now near the end of the summer I'm well under 90 with my sights on 80. It's a really fun game and very satisfying when you hit a shot exactly the way you intended to.

[@kadekirkendall8839]

I just had my most productive practice session ever. This video really clicked for me, in particular the part where you spend time on something you’ve been working on “without worrying about the result”. I consistently strike the ball heel side of center and it exacerbates my tendency to hit a push/fade. I slowed down and focused on hitting the ball toe side, regardless of the result, and by the end of the session i was able to move back to center and consistently hit the ball in the middle of the face. I was hitting high draws by the end of the bucket!

[@cjplouff1909]

Really needed to see this i fell like my practice has been slacking and I’m hoping this helps. Love the vids Rick 💪❤️

[@teatimegolf]

I only started a year ago. My progress from practice sessions has made a difference

[@legend9018]

Great video, I’ve been doing that exact practice routine for years now. It’s the motor learning benefit of random versus block practice. Another good variation is to take a scorecard from a course and actually play the holes just at the range. Base your shots off the results of your strike. Estimate your drive and calculate your second shot etc.

[@DorseyFaught]

I’ve been doing this sort of thing more and more recently, and I’ve found myself having a really fun time! I feel like I am improving as well. Can’t wait to get out on the course the coming week to see if I can translate it there!

[@davidmulgrew5077]

I imagine I’m playing a par 5. And score it. So if I hit a lovely drive I have an easy 7 then say a 50 yard lob. If I slice the drive I have to draw a 5iron. If I blow the iron I have a tight target and have maybe an 120 yard 7 punch. Score it birdie bogey par chance etc

[@sipsimies1588]

Decent tactic

[@nicksundstrom7341]

I do something similar. I like to ‘play’ the course I grew up on in my head. Based on how well or poorly I hit it I can usually get an accurate distance for the next shot from playing that course so many times. Helps to mix up clubs and shots.

[@carolynwilbur1627]

[@spaceman1981ad]

Rick, this was a very timely video. I wanted to get serious about my practicing this winter so I could start out playing well from the beginning of the season. I started taking notes after every round of golf and practice session (whether on the range or in my basement) so I could track what was helpful and what was not. From that I developed a practice routine not unlike yours. I found that I need to be disciplined about going through the routine in the same order every time, because the little drills and mini-swings in the beginning ensure I'm swinging correctly from the start; otherwise, I may end up doing nothing in the session but repeating and grooving a bad swing. btw, one of my practice rules is to ALWAYS set up a mirror behind me... (I use the Eye Line Golf 360 degree Mirror).

[@marciacash180]

this is a similar format to my standard driving range routine. prior to a round i do a mini version with 40 - 50 balls. its a good prep for the real world.

I used to hit the range a lot with a friend and we would always finish with about 40-50 closest to pin. Made it much more enjoyable.
