Hello Folks, I have been golfing for under a year and usually hit the course about once a month. Are there any specific ways to practice outside of going to the driving range? I have seen people use ping-pong balls and foam balls, and I’m thinking of setting up a small net and some grass in the garage. What kind of drills would be best to start with?
I suggest investing in a high-quality putting mat. It allows you to practice various speeds and breaks, which is excellent for developing muscle memory. Pair this with some online putting drills, and you’ll likely see a significant improvement in your putting skills.
If you have the space, think about placing a mirror to review your swing. Aim to keep a steady posture and swing plane. Additionally, recording yourself can help pinpoint areas for improvement.
Starting with a net and turf is an excellent beginning. Think about applying impact stickers to your clubface to monitor your strike. For drills, emphasize developing a strong foundation. Perfect the basic grip, posture, and swing plane before advancing to more intricate shots.
Try incorporating golf training aids such as alignment sticks or a swing analyzer app.
