Opening Prompt: I’m trying to creat a range session plan to get me from not having a handicap to being a mid handicapped. Let’s start with a high level skill plan and progression. Your golf improvement plan is structured around a comprehensive and progressive approach, incorporating elements from professional golfers' routines, swing coaches' tips, and your personal preferences. Here's a high-level overview: ### 1. **Range Sessions** - **Frequency**: Every Sunday night at Leonard's Golf Links. - **Session Structure**: - **Warm-Up**: Focus on short wedge shots (50-75 yards) to get loose. - **Precision Drills**: Pitch shots (30-50 yards), Tiger Woods-style iron drills (8, 6, 4 irons), and Bryson DeChambeau-style speed drills with a 7-iron. - **Hybrid/Fairway Wood Practice**: Target-focused shots with your 4-hybrid and 3-wood. - **Driver Work**: Bryson Power Drills for speed and control, plus John Daly-style creative drives for max distance. - **Short Game Practice**: Chipping and putting with specific goals. Short Shots Drill Structure adapts to the time available (short, medium, or long sessions). - **Cool Down**: Stretching. - **Ball Count**: A conservative number of balls is allocated per drill, and range baskets are ordered based on session goals. - **Focus**: You emphasize swing goals, shot shaping, and using all your clubs. Your drills adapt to the available range amenities. ### 2. **Swing Influences** - **Initial 18 Sessions**: Incorporate Rick Shiels' swing tips and coaching style. - **Next 18 Sessions**: Blend Rick Shiels' teachings with influences from Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau, John Daly, and other pros. ### 3. **Progress Tracking** - **Yardage Tracking**: Record and track shot yardages for each club to develop a "pocket caddy" system over time. - **Session Recaps**: Review the number of balls per drill to stay on track and analyze progress. ### 4. **Equipment Focus** - **Club Setup**: Continue refining your bag setup with a mix of precision and versatility, aiming to improve performance from all lies and conditions. - **Wedge and Grip Maintenance**: Regularly check and replace grips, especially on wedges, to maintain consistency. ### 5. **Short and Long-Term Goals** - **Short-Term**: Improve accuracy, consistency, and control across all clubs, especially focusing on reducing slices and bettering driver performance. - **Long-Term**: Lower your handicap by building on the foundations established during the initial sessions, transitioning into more advanced shot shaping and creative play. Your plan is dynamic and allows for adjustments based on progress, preferences, and specific goals as you continue to improve. --- **Q1:** How should I adjust my range sessions if I find that I am struggling with a specific club? **Q2:** What specific swing tips should I incorporate from Rick Shiels, Tiger Woods, and others during my practice? **Q3:** How can I refine my short game practice to ensure consistent improvement over time? And that’s my range session plan HOPE THIS HELPS!

William, I did a little “pre-work” before starting the Game Improvement Prompt. First I’m a paid user so the memory is a big help here (GPT4.o) Discussed my golf goals (going from no handicap to a mid handicap), what kind of swing I’ve been told I have and a little about me physically, then I told it what clubs I have. Asked it to do a full history and description for each of my clubs. Once I built my bag and had “CaddyGPT” learn all about my clubs and my swing type and goals, I started to give it swing influences like Tiger ball striking, Bryson DeChambeau power swings, John Daily’s creativity and grip it and rip style, and then did a Rick Shils coaching style. next I mentioned the range I go to and how much each size the range buckets are. My home range has a putting & chipping area included so that took a little work it break that out into long shots and short shot drills. Then through a few iterations of asking it to create a range drill for me and my clubs that sets me up to meet my goals.

I’m working on hitting the range with a purpose and focus. I’ve spent some time on ChatGPT developing out a Range Session Program, but want to hear from y’all: What specific range drills helped you go from a casual golfer to mid-handicappers?

How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I’ve been playing since i was a 10-12 but never really serious. Always played hand-me-down clubs and played more to have fun with the boys. Score was rarely kept. Got a modern new set of irons and I caught the bug. Time to learn how to really play. I’d say im around 110-115? What do you love about golf? That feeling when you strike it pure and the ball goes and does what you wanted it to! What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? There are so many clubs, aides, etc and so many different configurations that all depend on the golfer. Wanted somewhere to give real reviews by average to good golfers. No known spies before joining. Where are you from? What is your home course? Fort Worth, TX and I’m a public golfer, so Pecan Valley What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? ITS HOT!!
