If every golfer hit the ball as well on the course as they do on the driving range, the average handicap would be much lower. Instead, one of the most frustrating dynamics in the game is how the same shots that seem so simple in practice become more difficult when playing for real. In the latest episode of Mind Games, Sam Weinman explains why so many of us struggle with this transition, and how it’s often a reflection of the flawed way we practice. Consulting with top coaches, tour players, and psychologists, Weinman identifies the four key elements of golf practice, why our typical driving range trips don’t account for them enough, and the simple ways these sessions can better prepare you for when it’s time to keep score.
