I for myself start by getting 1 or 2 baskets of balls

then i stretch out carefully

then I grab my 56 degrees wedge, aim for the 100 yards mark. until i get 5 in a row on the green

Then i go for the 75 yards mark. until i get 5 in a row on the green

Then the 50. until i get 5 in a row on the green


then I hit my 9 iron to aim the 150 yards mark, until I get 5 in a row on the green.

Then I grab my 4 iron to aim the 200 yards mark, until i get 3 in a row on the green

then I grab my 3 wood, aim within a virtual 40 yards width fariway, until I get 5 in a row in it

then I grab my Driver, aim within a virtual 40 yards width fariway, until I get 10 in a row in it.



Then I head to the practice sand trap, shoot an average of 50 balls

Then I go to the chipping green practice my chips with 8 iron to 60 degrees wedge...for about 1.5 hours

Then I go on the putting green, for like another hour at least,


Great long practice sessions are what I need to do more. I used to do that every week back then...now i only do that like once a month...................................

Jesus. That's more practice than me.

I hit about 500 balls a day, 3 days a week. I spend about 3 hours a week at short game area

And I play about 3-4 rounds a week right now

somewhat, but practice is also to build your confidence. If my goal is to hit 10 drives in the middle of a 15 yards fairway, it wont help me much.
plus its gonna take a while lol.

i wish i could hit 9 iron 150 yards.

Start with 7iron hit a few shots with the best contact as possible then move to 6 and ect all the way down to 3 and never move to next club unless Im hitting them solid. After Im done with 3 depending how long it took if I feel lose enough Ill hit 3 wood and driver. Then after a while of hitting some solid drivers I hit my 8-pw and my 50 and 60 degree wedges some full swing some chip shots.

yeah, I know what you mean.
Its funny, right now all I go for is 5 solidly struck balls in a row down my target line. I am still trying to get my distances down after this littlw swong adjustment.
I go 56, 6, 52, 5, pw,4, 9, 3, 8, hybrid, 7, 3-wood, Driver, some more wedges (pitch shots), putting, come back to whichever club I hit the worst for 20ish balls
