I retired five years ago. In my last few months on the job, I didn\u2019t have all that much to do. I would spend a few moments here and there combing the Internet for good golf tip web sites. One in particular that I liked is Swingimprovement.com. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s a tip on it that I want to call your attention to. The site\u2019s author, Neil Wilkins, a teaching pro in Texas, made up a daily practice plan<\/a> for a mini-tour player. <\/p>\n The plan goes through putting, chipping, bunkers, pitching, and the full swing. Different drills are laid out with the number of shots for each drill specified. <\/p>\n I counted the number of putts and short game shots in the plan, and compared it to the number of shots allotted to the full swing. Every day, there are three times as many putts and short shots as there are full swings. Three times!<\/p>\n If you saw me hit the ball, you would think I shoot in the 70s. Yet, I shoot in the mid- to low-80s. Guess why? Guess what I need to practice more? Guess what you<\/i> need to practice more?<\/p>\n My new book, The Golfing Self<\/i><\/b>, is now available at www.therecreationalgolfer.com<\/a>. It will change everything about the way you play.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I retired five years ago.
