Improve your golf with a different approach

P
ractice makes permanent. If you work
on the wrong things or practice the
wrong way the likelihood of you
improving is small. Most golfers have, at some
stage, dedicated themselves to working on the
game and practicing more. Frustratingly, very
often golfers don’t improve despite the extra
hours on the range.
Typically, most golfers don’t practice the
right things. Frequently we practice the areas
of the game that we are already good at or
the things we enjoy with no investment in
those parts of the game that really matter.
Understand Your Game
Most golfers really don’t understand what
actually influences their score and what they
do well when they play golf well. Further,
most golfers have very little understanding of
what good or normal performance is for their
score range.
As a result, most of us are very concerned
about parts of our game that may not have a
big influence on our score. Very often these
concerns are based on a false premise or
flawed concept. In my own case when I was
trying to be a tour player, over a decade ago,
I ended up injured with stress fractures in
several ribs from over practicing my approach
shots and developing my full swing.
It is easy to get caught up on all sorts of
things that won’t make us better. The reason
why ShotsToHole.com was created was to
provide a tool to allow players and coaches
to understand the most important parts
of the game to work on to get maximum
improvement. Our aim is to allow you to
reduce your score with the least amount of
effort. Sometimes just being aware of the
importance of a particular area of your game
is enough to start getting better.
Targeted Practice
If you aim at nothing, you hit nothing.
