Find An Effective Golf Training Routine

Training correctly is the most important part of your training routine. The most commonly forgotten part of golf training is shots near the green. Spending hours at the driving range hitting arrow straight drive might be exciting, but working on shots in the 100 yard range improves your scores faster.

The secret to any training system is to stick a routine. Split your training time evenly between both the long and short game. Two hours pounding drives should equal committing to two hours putting on the green.

Shots out of the sand, chip shots and approach shots should not be neglected either. A straight, Herculean drive is beautiful, but chip shots will win matches. Always simulate real world conditions when training. Racking the sand smooth and placing the ball gently on top might look pretty, but it is not something you will ever see in a match. Throw the ball straight up and let it drop to practice the dreaded fried egg flop. Place you shots near the vertical of the bunker to simulate high angle outs or taking the smart shot to the side.

There has to be a park in the neighborhood that is not always trimmed on time. Train at rescuing your game from the deep salad. Not making it to the driving range is not a reason to skip training. If you spent an hour at the driving range this morning, then you owe yourself an hour of short game practice. A bucket of balls is the only equipment you need to practice chipping from the unattended edges at the park.

Your putter swing is absolutely the most important part of your routine training. Matches are lost and won on the green more than other sections of the course. Practice shots from inches to feet, uphill, cross slope and downhill while on the putting green.

You can practice in comfort of your own backyard too. Chipping from the well trimmed garden will only help you a little. Let the lawn go and extra week and you can get in a few light chips without damaging anything. Talk to the neighbor behind you and trade off hitting practice balls into each other's yard.

Metered practice will improve your game more than any elements of your golf training routine. Spending an hour, a few days a week, will pay off more that long stints on the weekend. Weekends are best-spent playing eighteen any way.
