Unconventional Shots For ANY Scenario

11:27 am May 26, 2009

The secret to becoming a better golf player isn’t really a secret. It just
takes practice, plain and simple. The only way to straighten out long
shots, master bunker shots, or sink the majority of your putts is to
invest your time into practicing wisely.

A. The Unconventional Approach
I am sure that you are well aware of the benefits that driving ranges
can have on both your distance and your accuracy. If practiced right,
that is.

However, the set of scenarios that you be confronted with during a
real game doesn’t usually exist in such “safe” practice zones. In other
words, try something different when you practice. Try to break the
mold.

When playing on the golf course, you often have to improvise to
deal with an uncommon shot or angle.

So when it comes to practice, why not practice some of these
situations more often? Thereby preparing yourself for those
inevitable pitfalls that will arise on the golf course.

If anything, practicing “different” swings & trying bizarre shots will
break the monotony of your practice sessions.

B. Prepare For Any Condition
If you have a standard course that you play on regularly that contains
a cart path, then try making shots directly from this road during your
practice sessions.

Try hitting a couple of 5 Irons back into the game as part of your
practice regimen. This way you are prepared for the shot if it ever
comes up (and it will).

Many professional golf players practice like this. In fact, you can
read about how Tiger Woods will practice like this on any course he
has to play on.

*Tip: Do not use your good set of clubs for some of these practice
shots. You do not want to damage them. Instead, go shopping for
some older irons that are similar to the clubs you use and practice
with them. This will prevent repeated damage to your quality golf
clubs.

C. A Few More Unconventional Shots You Can Practice

Just to give you a few more practice ideas, here is a brief list of
unconventional shots that you can add to your golf practice regimen:

1. Use a 3-wood to chip the ball.
2. Turn your club over in order to play from the side of a tree.
3. Hit several shots from an inch or more of water.
4. Putt from the bunker area.
5. Bellying a wedge.
6. Play the ball from up against a wall or fence.
7. Bury the ball deep in the sand and hit it back into play, otherwise
known as a “fried egg” shot.
8. Play a few shots from rough, dried out grass.
9. Putt the ball with a 3-Wood.
