The 4 Most Common Golf Practice Mistakes...And How To Fix Them

There is no denying... golf is more enjoyable when you are finding fairways, hitting greens and have control of your ball.

You should strive to always have fun on the golf course, but if you can't find a fairway, keep hitting the ground before the ball, and 3 putting--it's going to be a long day!

That's why it's vital that your golf practice sessions are focused on building skills, and training in a way that allows you to take your good shots from the range to the course. 

There is a direct correlation between the quality of your golf practice and your enjoyment on the course. 

The problem is that many golfers do not know the elements that go into a quality training session. They will practice in ways that can actually harm their game all while raising their expectation for better play. 

High expectation and un-focused training leads to disappointment. 

The good news is that these feeling can be avoided. It's possible to train for golf in ways that lead to confidence and belief on the course. Watch this video to learn to practice with purpose.

30% of your golf score happens with your wedges.

It's essential to have a system with your wedges that allow you to control the distance you hit these clubs.

How To Fix Thin & Topped Shots

Usually it's the beginner golfers that struggle with being able to consistently brush the grass and hit the ball in the air, but thin and topped shots can happen to every player.

The issue is that the bottom of the golf swing is not low enough to hit the ground, and the club will instead hit the equator or very top of the golf ball. Many times a golfer will say "I lifted my head", but in reality they shortened their arms or kept their weight on the back foot.

Here's some proven drills to help you make clean contact with the ball and remove the embarrassing topped shot from your game.

How To Fix The Hook

Lee Trevino is famous for saying " You can talk to a fade, but a hook won't listen."

What makes this statement true, is that a hook shot will tend to travel farther off line than a slice. The ball will tend to fly farther in the air and roll excessively once it hits the ground. A fade will travel shorter and land softly. 

The way golf courses are designed, you're better off keeping the ball short of the hole, rather than going long left.

When golfers start hooking the ball off the tee and with their approach shots, it's a quick way to rack up pentalty strokes and get double bogies.

Here's your guide to help you stop hitting the ball so far left.

How To Stop Slicing

The slice is the most common ball flight of everyday golfers.

If it's small and predictable, then it's not a bad way to get around a golf course, but if the ball starts curving too much to the right...watch out!

You'll start losing distance, having trouble with longer clubs, losing balls off the tee box, and have inconsistent contact.

The good news is...fixing a slice is definitely achievable if you train in the correct sequence.

Many golfers are knowledgeable about the slice and understand it's cause: 1) an open clubface and 2) cutting across the ball. But few golfers have success fixing it, because they miss key steps.

Here's your plan to finally get rid of that miss to the right.

1) Check Grip and Shoulder Alignment

2) Turn With A Square Clubface

3) Keep Head Back and Release Club
