    When I go to my local range I like to practice as if I was actually playing a round. I work on my preshot routine, which involves breathing, target and club selection, proper setup and alignment, clearing my mind, and pulling the trigger. I always use alignment sticks when practicing, and I have earbuds on so I can hear tempo tones on my phone.

    As a fairly new golfer, who hits the driving range during my lunch this advice was AWESOME!!! due to time constraints, I'd get the big bucket and hit as many as could "to better my game". I implemented the warm up, swing focus, target challenge and warm down and my game got a lot better, I'm now having 2 digit games (like I said I'm new with no lessons). GREAT ADVICE

    Thanks Matt, good tips. I seldom go to a driving range these days but when I do practice in the nets or golf club range after warming up with a couple of dozen shots I 'play a course' in my mind to make the rest of the session a bit more realistic and maybe less boring. It's all very well hitting half a dozen or so 7 irons, but you don't do that when playing a round of golf.

    Good advice. There are definitely easy techniques to make driving range effective for producing better golf on-course. I used to hit 200 drives as hard as possible, when my purpose was just to hit balls and get some exercise. Now, I use the range to improve my on-course game, so a totally different use of driving range. Nowadays, one third of my 200 balls I spend warming up, starting with wedges, then the remainder of my balls I use doing top tracer driving challenge and approach challenge, and honing my on course skills and control. This has helped my on-course game immensely. I had trouble with transition from range to on-course. You could do another video just on tips for transferring range technique to on-course action. The range mats are more like no-grass fairway, and if you are using bounce, the range mats will hurt your on course game because on-course, the bounce travels under the ball whereas range mats will bounce up way too much, so you have to hit more downswing on the ball with irons. This is just one example of the difference between range and fairway.

    Excellent video. I am back playing golf after 20 years away from the game. When I started again at the range I focused on my swing, once I had that almost dialled in, I worked on a drill I got taught years ago start with the shorter irons once you hit the target 5 time successfully in a row move up a club. Sense then I have now had a couple of lesson and have changed my approach. Now I do a warm up with the first 10 balls. Then I play a round in my head, aim for area that I determine is fairway, then a green.

    Great advice, especially when people just go to smash the driver. After I warm up with some short chips of 50 yds, I will simulate my home course layout. I start with hole 1 and work my way thru the course, Tee shot, then approach, etc. If I miss the green, which are 100, 150 and 200, I will hit a chip shot. It looks a bit funny hitting every shot with a different club, but it has helped me be more consistent overall and it gives me a plan when I play. I also set aside 15-20 balls to practice recovery shots. I will hit a couple simulating bending around trees each direction, left, right and under and a couple for length, to the 100, 125 and 150 markers. From this practice I have a good idea that a 3/4 punch 8i is perfect for a 125 shot in the wind for me.

    When I’m at the range, I’m usually trying to incorporate a swing change, but I also try to practice like I play. Do we rifle off shot after shot without a break on the course? NO! We’re either walking or driving a cart to the ball and usually waiting for others to hit. How long does that take? What’s happening to our body and our tempo during that break? I incorporate my pre-shot routine on the range just like I do on the course; target, alignment, grip, stance, posture, and then what ever it is I’m working on. I hit the shot then literally walk away from the mat for a minute or two and think about the result. I usually take three clubs and my putter to the range. At the end of my session, I’ll play imaginary holes. I’ll imagine a par 5 that I know and hit my driver/3 wood at the furthest target, a 5/6/7 iron at a medium target, and then a 9/PW to the closest target. If I don’t feel comfortable with some of those shots, I’ll step back and practice that club for a few shots and then go back to my imaginary par 5. …all while walking away from the mat and incorporating my pre-shot routine for every shot. Yup! People look at me funny, but then I see them rifling through shot after shot after shot…

    I go and just practice the nick Faldo drill. P1 & swing through the irons. I then imagine I’m on the course. Driver, 8 iron. Or Driver 3 wood, wedge. I never hit the same club repeatedly unless I’m warming down with 15 balls with a wedge. The biggest for me getting down to 6 hcp was practicing short game more than my long game. Everyday I practice pitching, chipping & putting.

    Love your content Matt but just an observation, does having a plan etc with the 5 step process prepare any golfer for a round of golf on a course? I’m just talking from a personal perspective as when I go to the range I slow everything down , pick targets etc and hit consistent shots at the range and line I would hope, but not being a low handicap player I then go on the course and play a round with high hopes based on range progression and feel left deflated as obviously range play doesn’t cater for lie , course quality, slope , elevation etc etc, thus leaving me highly frustrated and wanting to give up on golf!

    once I hit 10 or so balls and am warmed up, i pull out an old score card and "play" 18. I approach each shot from behind with a plan and target. I measure distances thenhit the next shot that I would hit on the course. if Iblow a shot into the rough I make certain that I hit recovery shots vs always going for the green. taking my time between shots as I would walking or carting the course.

    The driving range has a purpose, and that is why I hit balls on the range a couple of times a week, and always a small bucket of balls. For someone who wants to take up golf, I always recommend beginning at the range to learn how to hit a golf ball, get some sense of how far you hit clubs, and your normal shot shape, and then play with someone who will teach you how to manage yourself around the course. There is nothing more frustrating for experienced golfers and beginning golfers than to go to the course with no clue of how to hit a ball or where it is going.

  • @mikebest634

    Proper alignment is the most important thing without doubt ,hitting full swing irons of the mat is a sure fire way to ruin your swing ,it has zero benefit and feedback .To practice with driver and 3 wood I take my own rubber tee’s with me that are cut down to the exact size that I use on the course so just missing the ground on the swing the ball is dead centre to the driver face ,makes a massive difference to strike ,everyone should do this, making do with most of the ball above the club face or too low is pointless ,sort your tee peg out with driver and you will see a difference .Driving range for driver is one thing that the range can help with as no ground /mat contact is used .

    Last time I went to the practice range, the range was completely full with people smacking their drivers. I played the 3-hole par 3 course where you have a choice of three tees on each hole... played for two hours. Not a single other person ever came over there. And the par-three course is $5 for unlimited play! Just driver driver driver driver driver..... The vast majority of people I play with can't hit an iron or pitch shot to save their life.

    One of my faults is hitting way to many shots at the range. Upwards of 150-200 shots every other day. I will over do it with my driver most times. I am 61 years old and have been hitting golf balls for basically 42 years. I am strong and athletic, but have trouble hitting the driver anymore than 215- 220 yards. I have an obsessive compulsive dis-order. I won't stop until I am totally drained. Also, use hitting golf balls as an anger release. It is a high for me as well that I feel I need. I know I am doing wrong by hitting so many driver shots but am desperate and obsessive in hitting my driver to 250 yards consistently. I know I am fully capable of it! I am hitting it wrong. I just can't seem to afford lessons. All the bills pile up with little to no extra cash for lessons. For me it boils down to understanding the parts involved in the basic golf swing. I am extremely right hand dominant. This causes me to turn my trail shoulder and come down steep on the ball many times when I am hitting and even when I do hit the ball crisply this way I know I am losing major distance. Even so, I get so frustrated and angry with myself that I will continue to hit until exhausted. I know I will have to find another view point or purpose in hitting golf balls on the range and why I am doing it and what I want to achieve. I love golf so much. Definitely more than the average golfer. Not sure you can help me, but I guess I need to sit down with someone who totally understands everything about the mechanics of the basic golf swing. Someone to show me there is another way to get better. It is stuff for me becuz of my obsessive compulsive dis-order. Thanks for listen to me everyone.

The improvement in my game is marked. I appreciate this may not work for the more advanced golfer, however, for me I started with grip and am now up to working on contact with my swing being fairly decent.

    The average golfer (95 and higher) should be working on the full swing muscle memory. But the average golfer rarely hits ball outside the course. It’s a discipline that most never do. Hit 10 large buckets (3 weeks)with each club starting with the lob wedge. Take a quality lesson and in a few years you’ll be breaking 90 consistently. Unless you’re an exceptional athlete it’s gonna take time.🤠🤘

    MAKE SURE it's quality over quantity, it's easy to say it and not do it. As a noob myself a piece of advice that might help you is instead of aiming for the ball aim for the ground right underneath the ball. Attack angle and balance are some of the most important things. Ready, aim, grip it and rip it bud! It's ok if you only hit 1 out of 10! Try to really feel it. We are a bunch of cavemen swinging clubs, let your inner caveman out!

    Hitting from the mat is worst thing to do as you don't really improve. Hitting from mat ball always goes straight and not easy to see fat shot... Practices from turf is the correct way and easy to see your mistake when hitting fat shots

    turf is better but you can still get feedback from a poor struck shot.

    Nooooo it’s an event for golfers to get better! 💯 out in the course is totally different and not 1, 2 shots are the same. But golf is a game of swinging a club in an efficient way, where at some point there’s a ball in the way of that swing/club. I think the range is great for getting your own gyroscopic’s dialled in…. Where your feet are … where your chest is …. Your grip….. head …. Shoulders …. Sooooo much more than just the final part of hitting a golf ball?
