Typically, losing track of time means you took too long, but in this case it means <em>not taking enough time<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>As yourself, have you ever emptied your bucket(s) of range balls and asked yourself &#8220;where did they all go?&#8221; If so, you are probably not taking enough time to focus on each shot. We all know that <a title=\"Key on Focus\" href=\"http:\/\/thesandtrap.com\/playing_tips\/key_on_focus\/\">focusing is important during a round<\/a>, but we often forget that taking enough time to properly visualize each shot on the range is just as important.
