How often do you practice?

range 5x a week, 3x putting/chipping/pitching, play once

What's your handicap? And what are your range session routines like?

MWF I do short game pitching and chipping

afterwards... start off with getting my rhythm with just the club; then hit about 5 PW, then hit 5 3W shots. Then I go through the bag alternating long and short irons just like I would if I were playing a hole and hit no more than 3 balls per club.

Every time I cycle through I'll hit a few driver shots. It's my most consistent club, so I try not to overthink it.


I haven't really developed a consistent putting practice routine, but I'll put in 10-15 min on the days I do short game

Never

Once a week, once a month hit a bucket of balls. 15 min or so on the putting green before playing. Maybe 30 min or so putting at the house a week.

Been playing for about 50 years, I ought to know how to swing a club by now.

I like to practice after my rounds if I have time. Usually the short game. So 3 times a week or so of just that. When I'm not playing, I got to the range and again, finish with short game. That may just be once a week.

Hit balls and putt Tuesday and Thursday, Play on Saturday...rinse and repeat

I play more than I practice. But most of my playing is practice by myself on afternoons during week. I like to avoiding crowds and have time to work. I always play my first ball off tee into the hole, my second shot I play my scored ball first but then play a different type of shot for practice, usually I take more club shoryer swing and work on a lower tragectory. Again if pace isnt an issue, I putt or chip a few extra around the green. I find this most effective practice beach we every swing is working to get ball in scoring range.

If I am not on the course practicing, I am hitting a ton of wedges and practing getting up and down from all over. A good practice pitching green should be your best friend.

I hit very few off the range during practice. A few drivers, one good swing with each iron, then a good idea 3/4 sawed of swing with each iron. That is it and range work is the least frequent for me. Only consistent range work is to get loose for a round.

Sorry this one was long, I'm three beers in and half asleeep. Good night.

This is me too a tee. Usually drop by my course on the way home from work and practice doing real shite out there. Just beating a bucket of balls does me no good other than to get loose prior to a round. My only legit rounds that I turn in on GHIN are ones with my friends.
