Article 001 for Bucks Advertiser


Forward planning for a better game.


Too many golfers are prone to turning up at their respective golf clubs and going through a similar routine that may sound a bit like this:
1. Park the car
2. Grab the clubs
3. Pay their fees
4. Rush to the first tee and
5. Complain at the 19th that they didn’t have a good round.
Sound familiar?

There are many factors that can affect the golfer’s game on the course but there is no escaping the fact that a good routine before going out to play will improve your chances of having a better game.

Spending 20 minutes on the range before each round will give you ample opportunity to ‘read’ the swing for the day. Give yourself the chance to understand which ball flight you’ve brought along for the day and use it. An example of this is what most tour players go through. If Mr Woods is hitting it 10 yards to the right on the driving range chances are he’ll be standing on the first tee aiming 10 yards down the left. The result: a ball in the middle of the fairway and Mr Woods playing to his strengths for that day.
Even if there isn’t enough time to make it to the range, 10 minutes on the putting green will at least give you a feeling of satisfaction before playing your round.
See you on the fairways.
