10 Minutes a Day to Better Golf
Author: Todd Robinson

How many times have you had a conversation with someone about the pro golfers that play at an incredible level? It goes something like this:

Golfer 1: "Man those guys are good"

Golfer 2: "Yeah, but they practice everyday"

Sound familiar? The fact is, if you want to play better

golf you have to practice everyday. Before you say you don't have time, consider that practice doesn't have to mean going to the driving range and pounding buckets of balls. It is well documented that the best and fastest way to improve your game is to improve your short game. High handicappers waste most of their shots within 100 yards of the pin. Which stands to reason that if you sharpen your short game, you will easily drop strokes off your average score.

An hour long session everyday is out of the question for the average golfer, ten minutes a day is certainly within reason. Here are few things you can do for 10 minutes everyday:

1 Practice putting for a few minutes before dinner.

Putting practice by far is the most beneficial. Putting should be the cornerstone of your short practice sessions. Even if it is for only a few minutes, you want to keep the feel of your putter fresh in your mind. Look at putting as a game within in itself.

2. Chip golf balls in your backyard.

Becoming an great chipper is another way to shave those strokes off your handicap. Practice making clean contact so when you are on the course you have much less anxiety about chili dipping or sculling the ball across the green. If you feel comfortable chipping, it takes stress off your irons because you know that if you miss the green you have the confidence to chip it close to save par.

3. Read a golf magazine.
