Training Plan Overview

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.700
Okay golfers, last little section here, let's cover how to build your training

2
00:00:09.700 --> 00:00:10.800
plan.

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.560
So basically it's going to follow our normal training plans for building any

4
00:00:15.560 --> 00:00:17.800
skill system.

5
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:22.000
We're going to work on breaking our practice up into a couple different chunks

6
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:22.720
or phases.

7
00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:25.240
In the first phase, we're going to work on your basic shot.

8
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:31.390
So I usually like a just a pretty flat straight, about 10 yard, sometimes 20

9
00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:32.520
yard chip shot,

10
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:37.900
and you're just working on getting good ground contact, finding your tempo for

11
00:00:37.900 --> 00:00:38.440
that day,

12
00:00:38.440 --> 00:00:41.360
and just working on one kind of consistent feel.

13
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.320
So what's maybe my mechanical thought if I have any for that day?

14
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.040
Secondly, we're going to work on a couple different distances.

15
00:00:48.040 --> 00:00:52.450
So this can either be setting up some teas or some cones, or picking a couple

16
00:00:52.450 --> 00:00:52.920
different

17
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:57.400
pins, and working on my stock distances.

18
00:00:57.400 --> 00:01:01.920
Let's say basic shot might be five to ten minutes, different distances, again

19
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:02.120
might

20
00:01:02.120 --> 00:01:05.840
be another five to ten minutes, or maybe a couple cycles.

21
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.080
Then we're going to move on to some slopes, and working on ball position.

22
00:01:10.080 --> 00:01:14.640
So hopefully your practice area has some different grasses, some different

23
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:15.400
slopes.

24
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:21.160
You can either play a couple different games, so with no scoring or anything

25
00:01:21.160 --> 00:01:22.120
like that,

26
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:26.330
you're just going to go one high shot, one low shot, one high shot, one low

27
00:01:26.330 --> 00:01:26.960
shot to the

28
00:01:26.960 --> 00:01:28.320
same target.

29
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:32.550
That will force you to vary your swing distance, as well as make some of your

30
00:01:32.550 --> 00:01:33.760
setup changes.

31
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:41.650
And then rough two ways is basically you can either use two different clubs out

32
00:01:41.650 --> 00:01:42.600
of a rough,

33
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:46.040
or you can try and play two different shots.

34
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:50.240
So that could be just ball position forward, ball position backward, or it

35
00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:51.340
could be flop

36
00:01:51.340 --> 00:01:53.560
shot, chunk and run.

37
00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:58.390
So I like to do some of these high low or two way games whenever you're working

38
00:01:58.390 --> 00:01:58.760
on your

39
00:01:58.760 --> 00:02:01.710
skills for different lies, slopes, ball positions to kind of see how the

40
00:02:01.710 --> 00:02:02.720
different scenarios

41
00:02:02.720 --> 00:02:04.160
react.

42
00:02:04.160 --> 00:02:09.810
Then lastly, for the last, let's say, quarter of the practice or more, the

43
00:02:09.810 --> 00:02:11.000
better you're

44
00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.880
doing at all these, the more I want you getting into this random scoring stuff.

45
00:02:15.880 --> 00:02:19.660
So if it takes you a little while to get your basic shot dialed in, this might

46
00:02:19.660 --> 00:02:20.520
only be five

47
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:21.520
to ten minutes.

48
00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:26.920
But the majority we're trying to get here, couple of my favorite games are

49
00:02:26.920 --> 00:02:28.060
either working

50
00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:32.620
on the tour average of getting up and down about two thirds of the time.

51
00:02:32.620 --> 00:02:40.180
So 21 is where you get nine balls and your goal is to get up and down with as

52
00:02:40.180 --> 00:02:40.940
many as

53
00:02:40.940 --> 00:02:41.940
you can.

54
00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:47.090
If you do six out of the nine and get three on the other three, then that ends

55
00:02:47.090 --> 00:02:47.580
up with

56
00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:48.780
a score of 21.

57
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:52.680
So you get nine balls and your goal is to finish 21 or better.

58
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.300
Or the quicker version is you get three balls and your goal is to finish seven

59
00:02:56.300 --> 00:02:58.260
or better.

60
00:02:58.260 --> 00:03:03.640
Another game that I like is up and down, which is basically, it starts off slow

61
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:04.080
, but

62
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:07.060
as you build, it gets a little bit more pressure.

63
00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:10.380
Your goal is to get up and down as many times as you can.

64
00:03:10.380 --> 00:03:13.450
If it's not a place where you can practice putting, then I would use the target

65
00:03:13.450 --> 00:03:14.000
of inside

66
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.500
either six feet or four feet depending on your skill level and hitting a lot of

67
00:03:18.500 --> 00:03:19.220
different

68
00:03:19.220 --> 00:03:25.370
shots from 30 yards and in, trying to build a string of how many of these can I

69
00:03:25.370 --> 00:03:25.880
get up

70
00:03:25.880 --> 00:03:27.160
and down.

71
00:03:27.160 --> 00:03:31.570
What usually happens is somewhere after you've been doing it for a few, you'll

72
00:03:31.570 --> 00:03:32.440
kind of start

73
00:03:32.440 --> 00:03:36.840
either zoning out or you'll lose some of the feel and you'll have to go back

74
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:37.360
out.

75
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:41.830
Now if you start struggling in any one of these three, you can always cycle

76
00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:42.360
back up

77
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.720
and re-dial in your basic shot.

78
00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:49.130
But the goal is to spend more time building the skills with those other three

79
00:03:49.130 --> 00:03:49.920
different

80
00:03:49.920 --> 00:03:51.800
ways of training.

81
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:55.840
So this covers the stock finesse wedge shot.

82
00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:02.080
In the next program, we're going to cover your distance wedge.
