How to Make the Most of Your Practice: Trackman, Simulators and Perfectionism
Are your practice sessions frustrating? This episode takes a closer look at why stepping away from the relentless pursuit of perfection and frequent simulator sessions can be beneficial for your golf game. Kathy explores a revelation from one of our guests, who found that playing on the actual course improved her game more significantly than traditional practice on the range. The conversation delves into the idea of 'diminishing returns'—how too much focused practice without a clear purpose might actually hinder progress.
Kathy emphasizes the importance of setting specific goals for each practice session, incorporating mental strategies, and applying skills in real game situations. It’s about striking the right balance between technical drills and practical experience, and learning that real improvement comes from adapting to the natural, imperfect elements of golf and life. Join us to discover how you can enhance your practice efficiency and enjoy the game more fully.
