TRANSCRIPTS
Hi, I'm Michael Breed, host of The Golf Fix. Our
question comes today for Tony in Vancouver British Columbia. I
do really well with my driver on the practice range,
but once I get up to the tee box with
friends or strangers, I always try to hit it hard
and overswing? How can I slow myself down? Well, the
way you saw yourself down here Tony is this, when
you get up on to the range to practice, what
I want you to do is I want you to
pick different targets. In other words, what you do is
you stand out here, you let driver after driver the
exact same target and you get this feeling that you're
doing some positive practice. Truth of the matter is, is
that that kind of practice is nothing like what's going
on, on the golf course. What I want you to
do is I want you to pick a target over
here, that you're gonna aim at, then pick a target
over here that you're gonna aim at. And maybe do
10 of them, maybe take 10 balls, put it aside
and you're gonna hit 10 drivers to different targets, and
then evaluate. Did you hit 30% of your drives at
the target? Did you hit 80% of your drives at
the target? And what you're gonna find out is, is
that when you get out on the golf course, the
reason why you are not successful out there, 'cause I
don't think you are successful on the practice tee as
you could be, so pick different targets with that driver
and switch every single time. Never hit two times in
a row to the same target. What you're gonna find
is that this practice tee success will transfer to the
golf course when you practice properly. You wanna find us?
We're on every Monday night at 7:00 PM. It's called
The Golf Fix. I'm Michael Breed. We'll see you then.
