A point to consider is that 60 to 70 per cent of all shots will be taken from 100 yards and in. Therefore, it makes sense to spend the majority of your time practicing those vital pitch, chip and putting strokes to lower your score.

Constantly trying to crush your driver on the range can destroy rhythm and confidence.

I recommend to all my students that once a week they try to have a fun game on our 9-hole Mini Monty par 3 course to improve feel and creativity – this can be a big help when they return to the main course!
