    Practice Makes Perfect

    As with any sport there is a certain amount of practice that has to go into it if you want to be good. One of the best places to start is at the driving range. All reputable golf courses will have a driving range. There are also several stand alone driving ranges as well. All players should spend some time on the driving range to practice shots as well as get warmed up for a round on the links.
    The driving range is also the best place to experiment. The driving range is a great place to practice a new shot or to try out a new technique. Bought new grips? This is the place to try them out. You never want to try out new grips or a new technique in the middle of a game. This is because a messed up shot or bad hit can put you in a rut for the rest of the game. It is always best to work on a new shot or try out new equipment on the driving range where nobody is keeping score.
    Every golfer has his or her own way of getting ready to play when they go to the driving range. Some players choose to start with the smaller clubs and work their way up in weight and then finish off with the woods. Others will work backwards with the heavier clubs and get their stroke down with the driver and the woods and then they will work with their smaller clubs. For others, they will only use one club in particular. This is normally done if the player is having a hard time getting their stroke down and hitting with the club regularly.
    By using one club, the golfer has the ability to focus on how they are using it and what they may be doing wrong. They can work on their grip and try to loosen up and become flexible. Or, they can work on their stance to see if that is the root of the problem. If a stance is too closed or open, it can have an adverse affect on their shot. With a closed stance, the golfer prevents themselves from getting the distance they need with that particular club. A stance that is too wide open will affect balance and accuracy. These are some of the things you can work on at the driving range.
