You have a point there OB. He is guy that tells people just to hit the damn ball!He about breaks out the garlic and crucifix when I mention TGM! He also won on the Eurpean tour. His name is Ron Streck. My point really is that prolonged practice sessions are generally ineffective. Few problems are solved by working it to death. In fact hard work is not the panacea that people tend to make it out to be. Having said that I have to quickly admit that "real" thinking is the hardest work of all! Even in our cases (looking to improve) progress is more assured with stratgic practice as opposed to a deluge of effort. But this is coming from a notorious range rat, so what do I know! I think a worthwhile thing to do is include short game and putting in EVERY practice session. This will cut down on needless seed pounding! So do you know how to tell whether you are hitting too many balls? Simple. Did you have time to chip, pitch and putt?
