Proper golf swing mechanics can only be learned on the practice range. Trying any new golf swing tip on the golf course is a recipe for disaster. To improve your golf score it is recommended you learn any new golf swing mechanics on the driving range.Most golf courses have a driving range, where you can practice your golf swing mechanics. The range will consist of a tee area from where you will be able to practice hitting all your clubs. The area which you will be hitting into will be marked by distance. This will help you see how far you are hitting each club. Using the practice range to warm up before you proceed to the first tee is also highly recommended. Warming up before you start your golf game will loosen your muscles and improve your shot making. The driving range will also give you the opportunity to practice your driver and the all various clubs in your golf bag.
When using the practice range to warm up and improve your golf swing mechanics, it is recommended you start with the pitching wedge or nine iron. Next use your eight or seven iron. Work up from these lower irons to your middle irons, such as the five or four iron. After the middle irons work on your three and two irons. Leave the one wood for the end of your practice session. By the time you get to your driver you will be well warmed up. You will appreciate this when you get to the first tee, as you first shot on the first tee will usually require the use of the driver.
Some driving ranges include putting greens and sand traps to practice from. These a very useful parts of the practice range to learn the mechanics of the game of golf. Learning how to get safely out of a sand trap will help you reduce your golf score, because you will land a golf ball into a sand trap at least once every round. Once you get out of the trap, the putter will then become the club that will save you par. Using the practice range to its fullest potential will help you lower your golf score.
Improving your swing mechanics can only be achieved through practice. Learning the correct techniques to improve your golf swing requires access to quality instructions. Practice these new techniques on the driving range before you begin your round of golf.\
