Test: What Are My Chances to Lower My Handicap This Year?

Choose the answer that most fits your normal range session. When I am hitting balls on the range, my main goal is to:

The best players in the world hit the same shot every time (ex. high draw).

If I am working on technique, and I am hitting the same bad shots over and over, I just need to stick with it. Once I get the technique down, I will start hitting the ball better.

One of the best ways to practice is to hit the same shot over and over again to see how many good shots I can hit in a row.

Choose the answer you believe is most true. I am a mid or high handicapper (10 handicap or more). I don’t have great control of one shot shape. It is a good idea for me to…

Once I have a perfect looking swing, I will hit the ball perfect.

Choose based on how you currently practice on a typical range session. “I like to purposely hit the ball off the heel and toe, just to gain face control.”

Sometimes it is a good idea to purposely make incorrect movements when you are practicing to get a better feel for what is correct.

The faster I get the feeling for a new move in my golf swing, the more quickly I will improve and the longer it will stick.

There is currently a notebook I keep in my golf bag that has a list of drills that I need to complete. This way I stay on track when I practice. (Please only check true, if you do this almost every time you practice. I know we have all done this before a couple of times, but only check true, if you currently do this for most sessions).

I play games and keep notes on how I did when I hit range balls.

I currently practice 2-3 times per week or more.

I tend to work on the same technique issues on a weekly, monthly, or yearly basis.

I have hit dead solid golf shots before. I know if I could find that feel again, and I repeat it, I would be a great golfer.

If I am working on a motion, I don’t want to worry about ball flight results. Ex. If I am working on the Power Turn,  I don’t want to visualize my golf shot. I just need to trust that once I get the move down, the ball flight will come naturally.

Once  you start to play well, it is very important to not change anything. I want to ingrain what I am doing with lots of reps so I don’t lose the feel.
