re: How often do you practice?

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.
