Day 61: Practice - 3 facets

I have found a good routine that takes you through all facets of the game - using all of your clubs.
First - hit a bucket of balls and use all your clubs - rotating after about 5 shots with each club and vary the clubs - go long (Driver, 3-wood, hybrid), then go short (PW, SW, 9-iron), then back to long, then short.

After finishing a bucket of balls, go down to the chipping/sand trap portion and take 3 balls. Chip at different distances and at different hole locations. Hit about 30 balls. Do the same from the sand - hitting about 12-15 shots.

After this, head up to the putting green and spend about 15-20 minutes putting - start short (2~3-ft) and then move it out. I like to vary the length between each round of putts in an effort to assist me with the required touch at each distance.

All of this tends to take me about 1.5 hours - but I feel good afterwards. I feel like I got a good amount of practice in at each facet of the game without having to ever hurry. It's a nice pace and allows you to think about what you are doing.

I think this is going to be my new routine when I go to the range.
