Getting in a Few Rounds - no practice though

Jun 21, 2007 @ 01:41 pm by chris

 

Since starting the whole ‘Going Pro’ experiment, I have realized the importance of practice in becoming a better player.  Not just getting to the range and whacking balls but actually having a goal and working on it. 
My biggest issue right now is finding time to get to the range!  I live in downtown Toronto so there are no ranges anywhere close.  To get to them after work would take a lifetime due to the traffic.  Weekends don’t work because I play and when I play we like to tee it up nice and early.  This is becoming a real problem for me.  That being said, I am scoring much better than I did last year.  I know this won’t continue…but I need to find a solution. 
I’ll keep you posted…

  1. I used to live in Toronto. Loved it! Now live in Scottsdale AZ. Yep…there are no ranges or courses in the city. Don’t forget to work on your fitness!!

  2. In the two month time frame since I have be using the Gripstik hand strengthener , I’ve noticed a profound difference in my club
    stablity and power through on my long balls.Right form the start excercise , my hand as without a doupt firmer and that told me that
    I was on the right track.That increased ‘core strength’ in my hands and wrist stopped the wobble when not contacting the sweat spot.
    Coming out of the rough is a much smoother and confident event now. I must admit that the suggested excerises for this wrist exerciser
    are less than enjoyable , but it is well worth the effort.

  3. Have you ever played on the indoor golf simulators? While they may not be the best training solution in general, it may work for you if you can’t get out of the city. I know there are plenty of great ranges right outside of T.O but the traffic sucks. Anyways, give it a shot you might enjoy it - sometimes the have leagues or even special training features. Good luck,
