Should I throw the balls out on the range - not likely, I bloody well paid for them! What should I do?
I know a guy that is the only player to have won on the PGA, Nationwide and Champions. His idea of hard practice is hitting a full bucket. I think it comes down to intent, are you searching or tuning? He has told me that the only time he hits a full bucket is when he has hit a few shots left of target. A pull is a virus as far as he is concerned. Even when he practices his putting all he is trying to do is "get the roll right" He is convinced that zero loft...on the downbeat...above the equator is the way to go. He is a "player." Even though he is pushing 60 he is seldom out of the 60s around town. My point here is go to the range with a clear picture (by clear I mean realistic) of what you want to accomplish. When you come close to it...go play, or go home. Tougher said than done. Range time quickly collides with the law of diminishing returns. I have to admit that at times I prefer the range to the course...not a recipe for tapping into your golfing potential. This acquaintance of mine pretty much only hits driver and wedges on the range. The idea of getting your reps in is overdone. I think the driving range can become a crack house of sorts (Bucket explained this to me!)The real danger is that it bares little resemblence to the game of golf.
