Performance on the course
On the range you get in the groove hitting shot after shot. The problem on the course is all shots are the first shot, usually after a delay with many mental distractions. So how do you practice the "first shot". On the range don't rake balls to you. Leave them far enough away to have a new grip, new stance and new alignment. That makes them close to a "first shot". We all know that "Bubba" or the mulligan is always better. I am convinced there are tournament and pressure players. We all know those that keep winning in our club tournaments. Scoring is a different talent than ball striking. Also if the sports psych guys didn't produce results the pros wouldn't keep hiring them.

, yes i said 6th grade. Wanna know why i was? Because i had a maniac for a coach and he would have us run ladders/suicides if ANYONE on the team missed AND we were TIMED. If everyone didn't finish within that time, off we go AGAIN. I'll tell you one thing, we were so afraid of missing those free throws and running, we had over a 90% free throw percentage during league play and we weren't so afraid when that shot came because we were more afraid missing at practice than we ever were in a game.
