I came across the videos below and I there was thinking a larger story. How do we prepare our game for the unexpected the course when playing golf? Is there something I am missing by training only at the range?
Hitting the range is very important to improving our golf game because it allows us work developing the consistency needed to play well. My attendance at the range varies throughout the year and when I go, I practice with intention. Continue reading
