Improve Your Course Pacing with Slow Play Practice Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Implement timed pauses to enhance your focus and routine between shots
- Transfer your range skills to the course by mimicking real game scenarios
- Evaluate your mental game and see how well you handle pressure situations
Learn how to simulate course conditions with this slow play practice drill. By incorporating waiting periods between shots, you'll develop the mental resilience needed for on-course situations.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.640
This range game is slow play practice. So this is to get you used to the pacing
2
00:00:06.640 --> 00:00:06.840
on
3
00:00:06.840 --> 00:00:10.640
the course because it's very easy to get into kind of a rhythm in the routine
4
00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:14.320
when I'm hitting ball after ball. But when I'm on the course I'm gonna have to
5
00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:18.520
wait. So in this game you're basically going to force yourself to wait. So what
6
00:00:18.520 --> 00:00:23.160
you do, and you can designate a certain number of golf balls if you want, you
7
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:23.280
can
8
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.800
use the timer on your phone to make sure that you're actually doing it. But
9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.840
basically what you're going to do in slow play practice is you're going to take
10
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:33.780
a certain amount of time between shots. A good starter version is about a
11
00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:33.920
minute
12
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:37.600
but if you can work up to doing three, four, even five minutes in between shots
13
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:44.360
it's really going to replicate what it's like on the course. I used to bring a
14
00:00:44.360 --> 00:00:49.640
book to practice and so I would get up there and I would hit a shot and then I
15
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:54.360
would go back to my bag and I'd you know read a small section in the book, come
16
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:58.290
back, imagine it's the next shot on the course, walk through my pre-shot
17
00:00:58.290 --> 00:00:58.320
routine
18
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:03.020
and see if I could recreate the shot the very first time. So it's a great way
19
00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:03.280
for
20
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.560
transferring what you're doing on the range to on the course and it's a really
21
00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:10.680
good way of testing to see if you're going to break down when you get on the
22
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:14.400
course. Because if you can't trigger the swing that you want with just your pre
23
00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:14.640
-shot
24
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.800
routine, if you need to have rapid fire balls there's no way that it's
25
00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:22.840
possibly going to work when you're under the gun and when you actually have to
26
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.840
wait in between shots.
