Warm Up Properly

​

• Start with light stretching, especially for shoulders, back, and legs.

• Take a few easy practice swings without a ball to loosen up.

 Choose the Right Club

​

• Begin with a short iron (e.g., pitching wedge or 9-iron) for better control.

• Work your way up through mid-irons, hybrids, woods, and driver

 

Set Up Your Stance

​

• Place the ball on the mat or tee at the correct height.

• Align your feet, hips, and shoulders parallel to the target line.

• Distribute weight evenly, with slight flex in the knees.

​

Check Your Grip

​

• Use a neutral, comfortable grip (interlocking, overlapping, or baseball).

• Make sure the grip pressure is firm but relaxed.

 

Focus on Alignment

​

• Pick a target on the range.

• Lay down an alignment stick or club on the ground if you want to check your aim.

​

Swing Smoothly

​

• Take a smooth backswing, turning your shoulders.

• Start the downswing by shifting weight toward your lead foot.

• Follow through completely, balanced on your lead foot.

 

Practice with Purpose

​

• Don’t just hit balls rapidly.

• Pick targets, work on shot shape, distance control, or swing changes.

• Take breaks between shots to simulate on-course play.

 

Use Different Clubs

​

• Hit a variety of clubs in your bag.

• Practice short shots, mid-range shots, and drives to build a complete game.

 

Watch Your Ball Flight

​

• Note direction, distance, and trajectory.

• Adjust your swing as needed, working on consistency.

 

Cool Down

​

• Finish with a few easy swings.

• Stretch to avoid tightness or injury.
