How much is 10 $&$$ &?% <—this thing?
I'm a +1.5 handicap… Here are my range tips :
1. Before you begin hitting balls, know exactly what you want to practice… Stick with that ONLY.
2. Practice Wedge, 9 iron and 8 iron dialing…. Eg can you hit a PW 100 yards, 105 yards, 110 yards… And if possible bring something a like an SC300 with that will tell you exactly how far you are hitting.
3. Before every single shot, stand behind the ball, pick a spot, then treat the shot like something on the golf course…. Yes, you are working on your swing, but it's pointless if your focus isn't to take it on the course
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.
I take my 14yr old to the range and we just go and wallop balls, have no interest in correcting issues, it's about having fun with our range sessions.
Totally nothing wrong with going to the range and just smashing driver. If you're there to get better on a course, probably not the best approach, but if you're just at the range to have fun, you're allowed to be that person smashing driver all day!
Sure I have seen this before either by Matt or one of his friends.Need something fresh,it is starting to look like repeat on all the similar channels.
Great video
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!
The point is always practice with a purpose. Dont just whack balls
Cant get consistent distances with range balls
This was a great video, earned a subscription from me!! Really loved Tips #2 and #4 especially!
My mistake is not hitting enough ,one bucket just shows me what I need to work on.
Being a ‘driver smasher’ is great stress relief though, one of the main reasons I go ????
Advice keep off the shitty thin mats youll thank me later
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.
I tell people I teach all the time, hit 1/2 the amount of balls you normally do in twice the amount of time. Take your time, pay attention to what you’re doing, and work on what you learned in a lesson. It’s amazing how few people actually follow that advice and fall back into the habit of chainsawing through 100 balls in 20 minutes.
1 price
2 Matts
3 balls
4 tees
5 people who hit the roof of a high tee
That's what ruined golf at golf range
I’ve been asking on a couple videos lately how coaches/fitters/etc. reconcile the iron swing which takes divot, as we’re told to do, with hitting off a mat. No one has answered yet. This is ignored as if mats and turf are equal.
3:06 You forgot to look around to see if anybody was watching.
The amount of pro's at the driving range I'm surprised anyone struggles with game
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.????????
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.
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
This season I took this approach more and it helped a lot with my game. I still suck, but slightly less????
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.
The driver is the one club in my bag I hardly practice with. I suck at hitting it and I’m that guy who smacks the ball off the roof when I use my driver ????. It gives me the fear ????
