Rick Ball PSA Professional Strike the ball- then play a round Practice vs. play. The game of golf can easily be divided into two separate categories: striking the ball and playing the game. Most lessons revolve around corrections of improper ball-striking mechanics, and rightly so. Even if a player knows that he or she should hit the second shot on the firat hole to position X because it will present a level lie, this knowledge does him or her no good, they have no reasonable chance to hit the proper shot due to poor swing mechanics. However, playing lessons have their place. The player who consistently hits the tee ball straight and 250 yeards will get into trouble, if it isn't understood that the driver is not necessarily the club to use on every par four or five hole. Traditional thought says you learn to strike the ball on the range, and you play the game on the course. This being basically good thinking, here a few tips to help you improve your game. When practicing on the range, work on just one part of the swing at a time. Maybe it is just the position of your hands at address or the action of your feet during the swing. Do not merely stand there and try to hit your driver out of the range. When on the course, play each shot in order to make the next one as easy as possible and never attempt a shot that you have no recall of having hit successfully in the past. Give some thought to taking a playing lesson as well as a ball- striking lesson. Striking the ball and playing the game are two parts of the same game. Next week: Know the rule. NO CARSH0RTA6E HERE!
