How to make range practice feel like golf
A bucket of balls can disappear without teaching you much. Add targets, decisions, and rhythm to make the work transfer.
Change clubs often
On the course, you rarely hit the same club ten times in a row. Rotate through driver, mid iron, wedge, and pitch shots so every swing starts fresh.
Pick small targets
Do not aim at the entire range. Pick a flag, tree, sign, or edge of a target green. A smaller target makes your feedback sharper.
Use a pre-shot routine
Step behind the ball, choose a line, rehearse once, and go. Even a simple routine makes range practice feel more like the first tee.
Play nine imaginary holes
Create a hole in your head: tee shot, approach, pitch, and putt target. Track whether each shot would be playable. The score matters less than the decision practice.
