C'est quoi un practice de golf ?
Want to improve your golf game but don't know where to start? Then start by practising on the driving range.
It's the ideal place to learn and train, because you're surrounded by teachers and coaches who can help you improve your game. Discover our different exercises and training sessions at the driving range, to make rapid progress and become an accomplished golfer.
One of the cornerstones of golf practice sessions to reduce your scores is to work on your game from less than 100 metres. Your wedge play and putting can save you from almost anything in golf.
The natural tendency of all golfers is to take their woods or drivers out of the bag and ignore the short game.
It's fun to see how far we can hit the ball, but you have to resist that temptation if you really want to improve.
Summary
How to practice, discover the steps for an effective training programme?
Why lack of concentration in golf training sessions renders them almost useless. If you just hit balls without thinking about what you're doing, I can guarantee you won't see any improvement on the course.
I think that committing to a specific time limit, or time ratio, is the easiest way to combat this. lack of concentration.
For most golfers, men and women alike women, une heure est le temps idéal pour faire une excellente séance au practice de golf. Maintenant, cela représente plus de temps que la plupart d’entre nous peuvent consacrer, mais utilisez le ratio si vous ne pouvez consacrer que 60 minutes (ou 20 minutes par point).
Since I know we're all dying to get to the driver's seat, let's start by getting rid of the tedious work. A bit like promising a child a sweet if they do their homework.
Pour la plupart d’entre nous, nous devons nous forcer à nous entraîner au chipping et au putting. C’est précisément la raison pour laquelle vous devriez commencer la première partie d’entraînement de golf en travaillant sur ces deux éléments. Si vous commencez avec vos clubs les plus longs, vous risquez de ne jamais y arriver avec your sand wedges, gap wedges and pitching wedges.
Wedges are the second part of a training session
Wedges are the next area where you may have to push yourself before you can hit balls. Your wedges are your best friends in golf. They can help you get out of so many different situations and avoid missed holes.
Mastering your wedges will lower your scores, and no one can argue with that.
Commencez par les distances peu commodes ou les plus difficiles à jouer de 30 à 75 mètres pour vous aider à développer vos sensations.
Then you can work on your full swings with your sand wedges, gap wedges and pitching wedges.
Most of your shots on the golf course will be taken at these distances. If you ignore them in your golf training sessions, you'll lack confidence on the course. Roughing your wedges from 100, or even 50 metres, kills your swing on the course. These are the shots where you have the best chance of getting close to the flag, not those from 150-200 metres... so concentrate on them!
End your golf practice session with full swings
Now that you're sufficiently warmed up, and have developed a good feel for your wedge practice, it will give you the feeling that your "full swing" will have a better tempo. You can work on the rest of your clubs, finishing with your longest irons and woods.
When practising on the driving range, don't go straight to your 3-wood or driver, and here are a few reasons why:
- If you keep hitting your driver, you're probably going to ruin the tempo of your swing because you're just trying to hit it as far as possible.
- Developing trust with a club other than the driver off the tee is a crucial part of course management, and you should devote time to it on the range.
- You need to be able to hit a hybrid iron or a 3-wood and be confident of hitting the fairway when things aren't going well with your driver.
Eachgolf training must have a purpose to be useful. avoid hitting balls with no purpose and no real plan.

Real training is mental preparation
It's a very common phenomenon: many amateur golfers train very regularly but their handicap stagnates and they are unable to perform at Sunday tournaments.
Cela peut avoir différentes raisons à commencer généralement par le type d’entraînement il va finir par latitude sur le terrain de golf. Pour un entraînement de qualité il faut toujours garder à l’esprit que ce n’est pas la quantité qui compte.
An idea for training at the golf practice effective and this one: why not play 25 balls, always taking a short break after 5 swings and then changing club and/or objective?
After five balls, concentration falls by 70 % and it appears that the body then starts to act automatically. Most amateur players go out on to the course thinking that the change in movement will have an effect on their swing and therefore on their scorecard.
What golf equipment do I need?
All you need to get started is a club and a ball. However, it's a good idea to have at least one putter, one wood and one or more irons.
These clubs will help you progress more quickly. You'll also need a golf bag to carry your clubs and equipment.
Why is quantity only half the success of golf practice?
The professionals say that training must be targeted, which means that it is essential to set yourself targets each time to know whether your training has been good. If you don't, you run the risk of doing it badly and not progressing. Before each training hit in terms of basic trajectory and objectives, you need to have a precise goal.
A point generally forgotten by amateurs is what is known as the complete pre-shot routine, i.e. the routine that each golfer performs before hitting the ball on the course. It is essential that each player's routine remains unchanged.

A good attitude is essential for quality training
Correct and effective training is not enough: players must be able to apply what they have learned on the pitch.
It's important that this focuses on what can be influenced, as many factors, such as the wind and the presence of other players, cannot be changed.
You should always think about the next strike and what you want to do, not what you don't want to do.
On a course, amateurs often only see the dangers
If there's a stretch of water to the left or right, amateurs focus on the obstacle and the ball generally goes straight into it.
Professionals have learned to visualise shots and to transform negative thoughts into positive ones. It's very difficult to prevent negative thoughts from arising, but a player can always learn to tame them.
To do this, players need to be in the present and not thinking about their score or the next hole. What counts is not the birdie you've just made but the shot to come.
Added to this is the proper strategy, which many amateurs lack a little. They should do as the professional players do and always develop a tactic to suit the terrain.
That's when you realise that mental preparation is the real training - nothing should be left to chance, and every player should incorporate the mental aspect into his training.
Beaucoup de joueurs pense à tort que les choses se font tout seul mais c’est réellement un bon entraînement au practice de golf qui compte.
