Picking targets
5.
I think you should practise picking targets. If you’re hitting balls on the range, that could be one of the things you look at. For tee shots, for example, I always have an idea of what is 30 yards wide at 300 yards, so I can hit my driver and 3-wood and know if I’m hitting that fairway. If I am, I can then walk on to a tee and have a visual for it there.
I don’t mind having a ‘goal’ to hit into – I think it’s helpful to know what’s the furthest left and furthest right you can hit it, then work in from there. If you want to clear your mind completely, I would say have one specific target in the distance, one swing thought and then go.
