Personal 4 Day Golf School

[Themightyoz]

Next weekend I have four consecutive days off.  What I would like to do is a personal 4 day golf school and work on all aspects of my game for about 6 hours a day for four days.  If you could design the schedule what would you include,  For me it's probably going to be 30% short game, 30% putting, 30% full swing, 5% course management and 5% mental game.

I’d consider changing the amount of time you’re going to spend on different skills.

I'd subtract a half-hour for lunch and another half-hour for 19th hole time after you've finished a grueling day of practice.

I'm not sure what you'd do for course management and mental game self guided school? Maybe reread Lowest Score Wins?

As far as the other aspects. That's like 2 hours a day on each of them. Which sounds like fun. Do you have specific things you are going to be working on? Drills or what have you?

What I'm working on right now is short game.  My power game is decent and my driving is great.  

For mental game I plan on rereading Zen Golf and Golf State of Mind.  I also plan on doing tons of short putts and driver shots with pressure so that I can get over my fear of the first shot of the round and leaving putts short.  

Getting the ball 12" past the hole in putting instead of dieing them at the hole.  

Angle of attack is also a big part of my work right now.

Your handicap index says "29." How accurate is that?

I'd really look at the link in the second post on this topic.

[Themightyoz]

29 s very accurate.  I'll take a look thanks.

One other book you might like to look at for your mental game is 'Golf is a Game of Confidence' by Dr. Bob Rotella.  I found it quite interesting and it did help with my focus.

How did your personal 4 day golf school go? Would you recommend it? And what would you do differently?

Life got in the way, but still plan on doing it at some point.

For me, when life gets in the way, I can usually trace it back to some sort of organizational failure on my behalf.

Yep, I get that. There is so much in life that needs to be prioritized over golf. Golf is still a game. Life, and the people in need to be given more priority. Sometimes I forget that. But hopefully, there will be a time in the future when you can do your 4 day golf school. Best wishes.

Looking at May 13-18 now.  Covid restriction's killed my golf trip and I still have the time off.
