Podcast: Ipod golf tips for the driving range and we battle over practice techniques
This podcast is a biggie, filled with lots of golf tips for the driving range. Our listeners have spoken, letting us know that they take their ipods (and our weekly tips) with them when they practice so we have created this session with them in mind.
One email battles over whether or not an instructor can do more harm than good. Can a golf swing suffer from the wrong teaching method? We use a bit of advice from Butch Harmon who feels that a golfer should not try and change a less-than-perfect looking swing but work within his natural abilities. Jim Furyk is a great example of this swing philosophy.
Barry and I wind up battling it out over whose practice techniques work better, his or mine. Who do you think wins this argument?
During our break, I was working on a list of our archived Golf for Beginners podcasts (I’m never really on vacation). I have not yet finished but almost all of our yearlong golf tips and more can now be found by clicking here.

Have you ever been to a practice range while there is loud group of people? These people are there to have fun and to socialize and that’s wonderful. I want people to have fun, after all that why we all play.
So what about the other players at the practice range that are there trying to concentrate and focus on their practice. Should the player that is trying to improve be constantly jolted by noise and movement?
Is the practice range a social platform? Or a place without regard to golf etiquette? Or is a Practice range?

Every couple of seconds you can hear the child clamoring for attention, "Dad, dad, look at me!".
If and when eitquette improprieties arise, I say go with it! Try and focus on your shot amid the noise and see if you can overcome it. I can't say that you should have to do this all the time, but occasionally, it can help your focus for when you get onto the course and in your backswing someone yells, "FORE"! ;-)
noise, ie talkers and jokers and phones it
helps me to keep concentration on course
from stray noises that normally would
distract me.
