Scotty Range Tips

[B.D. Scott]

Hola Golf Spy Mafia!!

What do y'all do on Range or Practice days???

I try to keep it simple by using standard golf facts.

100 Balls hit on range

Biggest focus is practice how I play

Warmup. Wedges 15x 

Shot irons 20x

Mid iron 15x

Long's irons 10x

3w / Hy teed up 5/5x

3w/ Hy off the deck 5x

**** Bread winner off the tee box***

Make a 45 - 60 yds wide  fairway on the practice (imaginary lines)  hit Driver or Driving clubs 14x. 14/14 Count FIR and MFIR. ((Hones in on your what I called "Gurantee game for the week")).

Wait!!! There are SIX BALLS left. What should you? Me I play pick and green and pull the club. IE I Grab my Bushnell. " Ok let's got short Par 3 120-150" found it on the range and pull the trigger. #2 ball is new target and mindset. Could be a pitch or knockdown have fun with it. 

 I then head for Putting and chip area spend roughly 25 minutes a side working varies breaks, terrain and bunker/turf lies. ( For fun I treat every chip or Putt as a PAR 2). UP AND DOWN GAME. 

About 1.5 hours of practice and 30 mins of pre (15mins)  and cool down (15 mins)routine

TRAIN AS YOU FIGHT!!! 

Good Luck and Best Endeavors to everyone.

Oy!  My attention span isn't that long, I'll only practice for 45 minutes most times, after that it becomes just exercise, and who wants THAT?  I spend most of my practice time with a 5 or 6 iron, working on specific techniques and thoughts, those will carry over to both longer and shorter clubs.  But we're all different, what works for me might not work for anyone else.

I like it work smarter not hard. 

Long irons or key. Thanks for your thoughts

Some might call it working lazier.  But I've found that a cold pale ale, sipped gently, lasts about 35 to 45 minutes.  So I get a beer, head to the range, and when the beer is gone, I'm done.  Not done with beer, done working on my swing.
