The best way to improve your comfort level on the golf course after working with your mentor / instructor is practice. Your practice sessions should be more than just hitting a bucket of golf balls. Have a goal in mind before starting your practice session. You may want to work on a grip, stance, or alignment issue. You may also want to improve your comfort level with a particular club or resolve a recurring problem with your swing. The practice tee is the ideal environment to experiment and improve. Listed below are some suggestions for a practice routine:
- Focus on a desired landing area for each shot
- Check your grip, alignment and stance before each shot
- Begin each session by hitting 5-10 shots with your pitching wedge to help establish the rhythm and timing of your swing
- Work with the 8 iron to improve the accuracy of your short game over 100 yards
- Concentrate on accuracy and distance with the 6-5-4 irons
- Do not hit more than 10 shots with the driver. There is a tendency among beginners to develop bad swing habits by over working the driver at practice
