Individualize Practice
Practice too often becomes something that only is done because it has to be done. It can be very monotonous, and because of this it does not help most golfers as it should. By simply going on the range and spending a certain amount of time with each club, it is difficult to adjust to tendencies that may be showing on the course. It would, however, be much wiser to use golf mats and even a putting green in the backyard in order to be able to individualize each practice session you have in accordance to your results from the last round. If you were not striking the ball well with your irons, practice with them for a longer amount of time, or if putting has been your inconsistency, then get on a putting green. It may seem simple, but it really can make a difference.

By getting a feel for each club and then being able to maintain that feel throughout a round, your game will improve. By practicing enough to keep the feel you already have with a golf hitting mat, or a golf pitching mat, and then spending time on a golf alignment mat for irons or other things that may be a problem, your game will improve significantly. Not only does a putting green help, but aids like limited flight balls also are useful for this type of individualization of practice.
