Hello folks,
I’ve really enjoyed reading all the different practice ideas on this forum. Definitely the best golf forum I’ve seen thus far. I wanted to share my thoughts on my winter practice plan in preparation for 2021 and to continue improving.
I’m currently a 3.7 hdcp and was as low as 2.0 in the middle of 2020. I’m going to set a goal of 1.0 for a result goal in 2021 and to break even par at least once in a round but I’m also going to make process related goals for this winter to prepare and have an action plan.
My setup: I live in MN but I have a SkyTrak. Unfortunately we moved in September to an older house with a smaller garage that doesn’t have space to swing freely. I’m adding a new garage/shed this summer to remedy that for next winter. My buddy has (kindly ) offered to hold my Skytrak in his garage so I can go over there 2-3 days a week to practice. Then at home, I have a PuttOut putting mat and foam practice golf balls. I also have the SuperSpeed sticks.
My Plan for this winter (Jan-March):
- SuperSpeed workouts 3 days a week (gain distance)
- Yoga 3 days a week (flexibility and injury prevention)
- Kettlebell and bodyweight program 5 days a week ( power and injury prevention)
- 50 putts per day on my PuttOut mat (open to ideas here to keep it fresh)
- 30 chips per day to marks on basement wall (10 each low, med, high trajectory)
- 25 slow motion swings per day in my basement ( open to ideas here as well)
- 2-3 Skytrak sessions per week which will include a. Full SIZE 8i swings to send the ball 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 130, 150 yds (dials in mechanics) b. 30 swings with Tour Tempo beats (10 wedge, 10 mid- irons, 10 drivers) c. 1 of 3 games for wedges to greens, irons to greens, or tee shots into fairways (see my posts on Skytrak Practice Ideas thread).
- Purchase David Mackenzies Mental Game Training and complete all exercises I can within my practice.
This plan feels comprehensive but I am completely open to feedback and ideas. I enjoy practicing and preparing for golf so this plan is not burdensome for me. But I’ll definitely take any ideas people have to keep things fresh and keep me focused on the process of improving vs just results.
Thanks for reading!
