Well i'll start of with a bit of background: i am 15, lefty and am dropping shots everday few weeks . At my my club they are offering me a job picking up range balls and other odd jobs for 20 dollars for around an hour and a half work(this would only be one night a week). I have another job already and that takes care of my club fees. Any way i was thinking off putting the money from the range job into a "new clubs account" Has anyone done this ? is it effective or do you spend the money on other temptations?

my clubs my bussiness

Maybe you can work a deal with your club. Get some clubs from them and work off the cost? Just a thought.

Budgeting by placing money into the goal of some purchase is very effective. It's a lot easier to avoid spending it on candy bars at the supermarket if you think of each candy bar as being that much farther from your new clubs.

A buddy of mine had a fairly large debt to pay down and was putting something like $450/month towards it. This works out to about $15/day. Whenever he was tempted to spend $15 - such as by eating at a more expensive restaurant instead of cooking or fast food, or buying a DVD, etc - he thought of it as being one day farther from being debt-free. Amazing how that thought kept him on track with how he wanted to spend his money.

If you're prone to give in to temptation, let your parents hold the money until you can afford the clubs you want, or open a savings account WITHOUT AN ATM CARD.

One of the best things you'll ever learn in life is how to put your long-term goals ahead of instant gratification. This is a good chance to set a goal, make a plan, and follow through.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
