Almanac Golf – Golf Tips: 3

Perfect Practice

 

Precis of Fyodor Dogski, 1968. ‘Beginning Golf’,
Vol. 2 Chapter I pp 10-119.

 

Go to your local golf club and play the same 3 or 4 holes in a loop. When a shot does not reach your target, pick up the ball and carry it to where you intended. Have your next shot from there.

 

 

 

 

Do it like this and you are practising the type of shots a good player typically makes. You are not practising recovery shots. If you practise recovery shots you are also practising bad shots.

 

It’s like how you kept going out with Joshua Burns even though he always got you into trouble. It’s time to break away. Of course you can still go out with Josh but please…not to the golf course.

 

For details on playing Perfect Practice as a competition format, see Appendix A in Fyodor’s tome quoted above.
