S2 Ep113: Practice Can Ruin Your Game

S2 Ep113: Practice Can Ruin Your Game

You know what can really screw up your game? Practicing the wrong thing, that’s what. Learn from Rory MacElroy. He saw DeChambeau hit the ball 377 and decided he too could use more speed and hence, more distance. The exercises to increase swing speed really screwed up his swing and he missed 2 consecutive cuts because of it. Here’s the lesson Jeff wants you to remember: work on your weakness. Realize what it is you need to do to shoot lower scores and work on that. So this week we take a rather humorous look at how you can determine what it is you need to work on. And then, since hitting balls on the range is like totally boring, we figure out the best what to practice while convincing yourself you are actually out on the course playing. You know that secret? Get out on the course and play!
