Every good golfer should have a good indoor driving range to practice on. The reason for having this type of course is probably obvious, you need a place to practice in case of bad weather. Indoor ranges are great for those rainy weekends or just when it’s too cold outside to practice. Here are some practice drills you can do while at your local indoor driving range.
closest to the pin
This is a great game that you can play with your golf buddies on the indoor driving range. They both grab a bucket of balls and start with the closest pin (which is probably twenty-five yards away) and see who can get the closest to the pin. Once you’ve played through the furthest pin in range, add up your flags and the player with the most flags wins. Usually the loser has to buy the next round, but that’s purely optional.
Some indoor driving ranges today are equipped with electronic scoring devices that will let you know which player has come closest to the pin. This takes much of the guesswork out of the game. This game is fun, but it will also start to shape your mid-range shots nicely.
Practice staying on the ball
Many players find themselves beating the golf ball. This means that when they swing, the clubhead drops over the top of the ball instead of hitting the ball at the correct spot. This can lead to a lot of your balls not getting the proper lift and a lot of headaches down the road.
Well, the solution is to practice staying close to the ball. When a golfer spikes the ball, it is often due to his body rising as the club approaches the ball in advance following the path of the ball once it is hit. He practices keeping his head down for as long as he can after hitting the ball. Keeping your head down will allow your body to stay in the right place and make for better golf shots.
We hope that these simple golf tips have helped you in some way. Be sure to go and find a good indoor driving range (preferably with an electronic scoring device) so you can practice well, even in inclement weather. Every good golfer needs one.
