I disagree on the GPS comments. I have only used my Skycaddie SG3 in one round so far, and I am completely confident that I would have shot around 75-76 instead of a 72 had I not had it with me.

I have to agree about the use of the SkyCaddie or in my case the Bushnell Pinseeker. Both are approved for USGA play if they don't have slope help, but are only sanctioned if the local course rule sheet states it. I play in some Arkansas State Golf Assoc. sanctioned tournaments and not all courses allow them. I definitely use it during practice rounds.

My other suggestion would be to get properly fitted. Doing that made a huge difference in my game and confidence.

i agree with Zakko on switching to a Prov1, it will help you be more aggressive from 100 yards and in than an NXT tour

A good idea is to keep a golf log. My wife bought me one. Best golf gift, ever. They're small and you can carry it with you. Use it to keep Score, GIR, PPR and clubs used/yardage. You can then review and practice what went wrong. You'll be better prepared the next time you play that particular course.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      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.
