Your practice sessions are really important. They are your rehearsal period and will dictate to a certain extent how you play in competition. It makes sense to use your practice time wisely! Your practice sessions will provide the foundation for your confidence levels. If you see yourself working hard and achieving in your practice sessions you will approach competition feeling far more prepared and in control and consequently more confident.

Many of the golfers I meet have the same bad habits when it comes to their practice. Not only do they not practice enough, when they do practice they tend to practice the areas of their game that they like practising rather than the areas they really need to practice (e.g. the weaker areas of their game), they will stand on the range raking and bashing hundreds of balls in one long session and spend the majority of their time working on their long game!

Below I have outlined my Top Tips for Quality Practice Sessions. Review your own practice sessions and work to ensure that they include these key practice principles.
