it seems like time at the range should be spent mostly on making solid
contact, not distance control, because range balls behave quite different
than premium balls. ?
Sounds like you need to teach on a circular mat.?
I think it’s time to combine the apps.?
Great explanation Mark / Buzza, I am currently using the practice fairway
to trial my range of shots rather than my old ways of belting balls down
range without any purpose. At the moment Im trying to draw balls or get
them to start turning around the 150 mtr mark and although not very
successful it’s giving me a better insight to my capabilities.

Mark,
I’m stumped… What is the best (your recommended) method of establishing
distances? I know my tendancies to within about 10yards, but sometimes that
can mean the difference between tapping in a birdie or trying to find your
ball in the hazard. Do I try to rent a launch monitor to nail down my
yardage or do I trust that the yardages at the range are correct?
Thanks and I love the channel(s),
Steve?
Loving the clang at 3:39. That person obviously struggling with accuracy?
+Mark Crossfield +Buzza Golf Interesting discussion. Assuming set-up & aim
is okay to start with. Then it’s about accuracy of strike, so you got to
keep posture through to impact for one. But then it’s about finding the
‘speed’ or ‘effort’ of your swing that allows you to get best contact more
often, so most people would be more accurate swinging at 80% & because the
strikes better more consistent with distance much better than trying to
swing flat out. On the range you need to keep varying the target & club you
use shot to shot, instead of trying to belt 20 6i’s or drivers
consecutively to the same target. ?
Mark, I’d like to see how accurate you are at 120 yards with a dart!?
Kudos to you two for trying to answer such a broad question when there
could be so many reasons for poor accuracy. For example, I’ve played with
quite a few slicers/faders that continue to aim straight at the flag. I
felt like screaming aim left! lol?
Greetings 🙂 If I am hearing what you say, part of the equation is to
learn your most consistent shots (tools) and use them when you play. That
being said, would you recommend that a beginning golfer do that, or focus
on improving the swing. For instance, if most of my shots fade, should I
just live with that and adjust my point of aim??
Nice stuff?
This is kinda how I practice. After I get warmed up I’ll play “imaginary
golf” or mimic a golf course. Then when mistakes appear I’ll practice right
there. Say Like alright I’m playing 1 at “yada yada golf club.” I need to
hit a soft draw. Then pin is a flag out on the range and there’s water left
and hit the approach.?
I find my accuracy wanes if I try to hard to get distance. I’d rather be
accurate and hitting fairways than longer and in the rough or worse?
Should Buzza realy talk about accuracy ? 😉 I just think of this vid
“Newquay Golf Club #moneyball Part 2” ;-))?

Mark,
How tall are you and Buzza??
