Just had the best range session of my life, learning a bunch about my swing after a long slump. I've had this happen before but went right back to where I was sometimes. What should I do to make sure I improve from there and don't loose anything.

Having a 5.9 index, you already have been quite successful on the golf course. I can only offer you the same advice that I would give my high school JV golf team.....

Return to the range tomorrow and try to repeat what you did today.  Often times if you go right to the course, you will do exactly what your posting indicated, "(I) went right back to where I was."

Then after you have successfully repeated the good parts of your range session, try to take it to the course, but don't worry about your score.  Concentrate on the swing that you found at the range.  The score should take care of itself.

Best wishes.

Keep at doing the same thing over and over again. Your old habits have so many more reps than what you want to do. Incremental change is tough in golf. Its tedious, there are no quick fixes.

Yeah, I've always been very fast at implementing changes, little things I can change almost immediately and full swing changes take a few weeks

What do I do after a good round?  It partially depends on the day of the week.   if it's the weekend........I go home, grill a big thick steak to medium-rare,  and drink a few beers afterwards.............

Don't you know that Murphy's law dictates ... if you have a good range session, your next round will be bad?   Skip the next round. :-D

The best thing you can do is realize that you will have your ups and downs.  Thats the funny thing about golf: even the pros never completely figure it out.  My advice would be to have a few beers to celebrate a good round/range session and enjoy a victory.  Chances are golf is going to break your heart the next time out.

write down what you learnt then if you have a bad time read it and it will feel like going back to basics, works for me sometimes.

Write it down. Review it before your next practice session/round.

@nick1998bunker write it down like @phan52 mentioned.  And mention it on the boards or to a buddy.   When I make a breakthrough or have a slump I write about it in my little golf blog thread here on the site.  Helps me to remember how to correct little problems that may pop up here and there.

Also @David in FL nothing reinforces muscle memory like red meat :-D

I was thinking along the lines of Buckeyenut for an actual round, but for a range session, I think trying to visualize what you did at the range and apply it to specific holes on your home course might be best.

Along the same line....when I shot scratch for the first time I got home and poured 2 fingers of Johnny Walker Black and sat back and relished it because there was no doubt my next round would be 85-90.

The appetite definitely introduces incentive to do well the next round :-)

Well I followed up with a fairly good session and then today everything I struggled at I did very well but I could not catch the irons solid. Which was something I was doing well. It seems like every time I have a new problem so it's hat to get better

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
