Better golf 4 of 8: A driving range session with a plan
1 h Active
A bucket of balls without a plan is exercise. With a plan it is practice. One hour, sixty balls, four blocks.
Een emmer ballen neerstorten op de driving range en daarna een uur lang slaan voelt productief, maar de meeste golfers stappen erna op met precies hetzelfde gevoel als ervoor: iets is beter gegaan, iets slechter, onduidelijk waarom. Het verschil tussen oefenen en bewegen zit niet in de inspanning maar in de structuur. Zestig ballen zijn genoeg voor een volledig sessie als elk blok een eigen doel heeft, een duidelijk begin en een grens die je dwingt te stoppen voordat de herhaling zinloos wordt.
Wat een sessie met een plan concreet verandert is het moment waarop je een club terugstopt in de bag. Niet omdat je moe bent, maar omdat de vijftien ballen op zijn. Die grens dwingt aandacht per bal in plaats van per emmer. Aan het einde is er één getal: het blok met de laagste raakverhouding. Dat getal is de enige beslissing die je meeneemt naar volgende week.
Block one: fifteen wedges to one target. Rhythm only, no full swing.
Suggestion: Count the ones that land within a flag length.Block two: fifteen mid irons alternating between two targets. Change target every ball.
Suggestion: This is how the course asks it of you.Block three: ten drivers, then five three woods. Pick a fairway between two markers.
Suggestion: Score a hit only when it is between the markers.Block four: play three holes of your home course in your head, ball by ball, changing clubs each shot.
Suggestion: Pre-shot routine on every ball.Leave with a number: the block with the lowest hit rate is next week's focus.
Suggestion: Write it in your notes before you drive home.
