MA4 Tip: Practice when Practicing

When practicing, I like to practice. If I shank a tee shot, I don't always play it. If I want to practice saving par, I will, but I believe it's important to feel what it's like to throw shots correctly.

That's why I rarely keep score when practicing. I will keep an over or under in my head, but I don't record my score when I'm practicing.

If every time I practiced, I was happy with shanks and overturning discs, I would be practicing how to throw shanks and overturn discs.

I'm not a fan of field work, so I refine my tee shots on the course.

I will score rounds when I'm practicing and I'm getting for a tournament, I like to feel what it's like to put it all together for real, even if it's not really real.
