Rest and Recovery

If it really made sense to "let the club do the work," you'd just say, "Driver, wedge to the green, one-putt," and walk to the next tee. Thomas Mulligan

Rest and Recovery

Many golfers do not allow sufficient time to rest during practice. Going to the range and hitting 100 balls straight through is tiring both on the body and the mind. Fatigue diminishes our ability to learn so a lot of your practice time could just be wasted time.

Incorporating rest intervals into your practice session can give you the most out of your training time.

Before heading to the range, find a field or a large grassy area and hit 20 to 30 balls. Once you've done this, take the time to go and pick them up. This will give you a break from swinging and a period of time to recouperate mentally and physically.

If you can't leave the practice range or can't find a private grassy area, hit 20 balls at the range and rest for ten minutes.

Keeping your range balls a few steps away will give you time to process each shot in the time it takes to retrieve each ball.

Here's to resting and recovering your game!
