What Really Helps Golfers Improve? And How To Practice Through The Seasons

Happy 2024,

We hope you’re ready for an epic year of golf.

Tiger is hopefully making a return to play, there will be a bundle of new technology and clubs on the market. However…the basic concepts stay the same if you want to shoot lower scores.

  • Keep basic playing stats

  • Practice core skills

  • Play golf and learn to score

This week’s article jumps into more detail with how to practice effectively, but we’d LOVE you to join in our big data study.

What Really Helps Golfers Improve?

  • Do lessons make a difference?

  • How much do you have to practice to improve?

  • Do better golfers practice more, or just smarter?

We want to answer these questions. If you’ve improved, stayed the same, or moved backwards in the past 12 months, please participate in this survey. We need you all (Not just those who have improved!).

A common challenge is making your range practice better represent golf on the course. This is the easiest level of Will's Range Challenge, you can adapt it to add more reps of smaller targets. It focuses on two key skills needed in golf. One, getting the ball in play, and two, hitting the ball close with short irons.
