I’m Completely Changing My Practice. Here’s Why You Should Too.

Ever wonder why it's so hard to take your range game to the course? In this video, we compare my range swing quality numbers against actual on-course results at Praia D'El Rey to show why your driving range swing disappears on the 1st tee. We've all been there: you are hitting it pure on the launch monitor or practice mat, but the moment you step onto a real golf hole, the scoring consistency vanishes. The truth is, there is a massive gap between hitting a good golf shot on the range and actually playing the game of golf under real-world conditions. Watch as I test a new "controlled takeaway" swing feel on the back nine in Portugal, while tracking a fascinating metric: my perceived "range quality" rating versus the actual result on the course. The drop-off in my approach shot data at the end of the round completely blew my mind—and it proves that 90% of amateurs are practicing completely wrong.
