Warm-up
vs. Practice
The driving range is for practicing your swing, as well
as warming up for a round. The two, however, are completely
different exercises.
Warm-up
is a time to prepare yourself for the day’s
play, not a time to change your swing. Begin by hitting
some short pitches. Move through your bag gradually, working
your way up to the driver. Your goal is to find out what
your ball flight is going to be for the day, as well as
to establish a rhythm that enables you to make solid contact.
A
practice session is the time to work on your golf swing.
Begin
the session with a specific goal. Conclude your practice
when it’s accomplished. Improvement involves the
correct diagnosis of your fault and a drill or exercise
to correct it. Rehearse the drill, then execute the shot.
Continuous repetition leads to the desired change.
