Practice Your Short Game Proportionately

March 4, 2008 – 4:44 pm | by Golfdirt

Golfdirt QuicktipIf you’re typical, you spend 80% of your practice time hitting long ball full swing shots. That leaves just a little bit for everything else, particularly the shots 100 yards and in that actually make up 60-65% of all the shots we take in a round.

Practicing disproportionately? You betcha. Seems obvious what we all need to do practice-wise.

Yeah, technically we should be practicing the short stuff proportionately more than the long ones, but if that puts a damper on your enthusiasm, aim for a 50/50 split of your practice time.
