Module 4: Effective Practice

Effective Practice

If you are practicing effectively, then you’re spending some time simulating the mental and physical conditions of the golf course with “Performance Practice”.

Most golfers practice in a way that doesn’t transfer to the golf course. They hit lots of balls focusing on technique, which is far from what happens on the golf course.  

On the golf course:

• Every shot counts
• Every shot is a unique challenge
• There is time between each shot

When we do more “Performance Practice”, it helps us:

• Challenge the brain to make changes, instead of easy repetitions
• Simulate how we need to think on the golf course
• Simulate being uncomfortable
• Train our “Process”
• Practice lowering the “Stress Response”
• Expose our weaknesses so we can strengthen them

A good performance training session will cover all these aspects. If you’d like more information on how to set this up, please check out the Golf State of Mind Practice System.
