It can be hard for some golfers to turn a trip to the driving range into something more than just an opportunity to smack a bucket full of balls into an open vineyard...well I guess there aren't any other driving ranges over vineyards, but you know what we mean.
Turning your driving range time into quality practice time takes dedication and focus, but in the end, it can help you improve your game and lower your score on the course.
Instead of bashing a full bucket of balls with the same club, try making a mental game out of your next trip to Veris Cellars, or any golf driving range! Pick a standard hole distance, such as 350 yards, for example. Luckily we have markers in the vines for you so you can see just how far your ball is going! Pull out your usual club off the tee, such as your driver or feel free to use one of our many complimentary clubs, and give it your best shot.
When you hit a quality shot on the driving range, take a second and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths and envision the shot you just hit in your mind, along with the pure swing you just used. This will help establish a mental connection and then on the course you will naturally perfom the same solid swing as you visualize what you did on the driving range.
And lastly, focus on one weakness at a time. Practice it several times such as rotating your hips or follow through, until you get it perfect. And as always, share a bottle of Ben Hogan while you are at it!
