One of my favorite games for adding a little pressure to your range practice.
This is a great game for getting you mentally ready to play on the course, as well as testing your skills by adding a high level of randomness to your practice. Basically, you are going to pretend you are on a simulator and play a specific course. Be sure to use your pre shot routine for all shots, and to adjust lies and shot shapes for realistic outcomes depending on the quality of your shot. All greens are 2 putts, so be tough but fair as to if you "hit the green" or not.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.800
this game is play a course on the range so this is a fun way to apply some
2
00:00:05.800 --> 00:00:09.680
random practice into your practice program what you're gonna do is you're
3
00:00:09.680 --> 00:00:14.480
going to pretend that you're playing a course so my first shot maybe might be a
4
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:20.520
t-shot so I I'd pull out my driver I'd pick exactly where a fairway is if I
5
00:00:20.520 --> 00:00:24.120
have a course that I know really well I can actually play that course in my
6
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:29.600
head so I'm gonna play this fairway and then I get up there go through my full
7
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:33.840
pre shot routine go through and hit it go through my full post shot routine and
8
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:38.680
then depending on how well I hit it that's gonna adjust my next shot if it
9
00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:42.920
finishes outside of the fairway then maybe I have to hit it out of a divot I'm
10
00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:47.300
gonna give myself a poor lie for the second shot or maybe it's in the trees
11
00:00:47.300 --> 00:00:51.880
and I have to hit a little bit more of a punch or abbreviated swing to control
12
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.560
trajectory it helps me with my visualization it helps me with my
13
00:00:55.560 --> 00:01:00.340
creativity but ultimately it really just gives me a great way to do random
14
00:01:00.340 --> 00:01:04.640
practice around the green now we're gonna play that any green you hit is a
15
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.480
two-putt so if I hit let's say my second shot is a seven iron and I go
16
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.480
ahead and swing and I hit it really terribly now I have a wedge if I hit the
17
00:01:13.480 --> 00:01:18.640
green with the wedge then I made a bogey it's impossible it's very hard to
18
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:23.280
shoot under par in this game unless you're doing great on the par fives but a
19
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.300
good score is gonna be somewhere around 80 if you're kind of a new golfer give
20
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:32.520
yourself a par 5 on each one but it still forces you to work on going through
21
00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:37.560
your process with driver full swing partial shots wedge shots and allows you
22
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:42.720
to really dial in that creativity and visualization as you're working on your
