how much are you practicing outside of the lessons?


50-100 balls a day into a net. Although some times I think that's a bad thing since its hard to tell a good swing from a bad swing into a net.

Lessons every other week.

Strategy isn't typically my problem. I play very safe. Played yesterday and my worst three shots were iron shots from the middle of the fairway after perfect drives. Irons have been my downfall for a while. Pre-lessons 5/10 were bad shots, post-lessons 2/10 are bad. By bad I mean off by 30 yards usually right.

Luckily my short games saves me if I can get close but I should not be mishitting an iron shot from the middle of the fairway.

Average proximity by a Tour player from 125-150 yards from the fairway is almost 25 feet.

I’m in the same boat.. I’m looking into buying a launch monitor and a tripod to video myself.

God damnit…why did you have to throw this in here. This mentality is what kills people on a golf course. Are you a touring professional? Do you do nothing other than practice golf for 10+ hours a day…why shouldn’t you mishit an iron from the fairway?

Just put the best swing on it you can and let the results happen, you can’t control the outcome, only the swing. The more you focus on that the better off you are while playing. And if you do mishit the ball, even in the middle of the fairway, all you have to worry about is the next swing so don’t dwell on what already happened so you can get better.

I sound like mr cliche
