[12 piece bucket]

Spike - Great Question. I moved this thread into a forum where it makes sense to discuss this.

I'm a certified range rat. Probably spend over 90% of my time on the range and 10% on the course. It may be a higher ratio because I live two blocks from the clubhouse range. Its easier to peel off an hour a day for practice time, or maybe shoot a swing video than carve off 4 for a round.

I'm a single digit HC but lately its rising. In my opinion, the challenge with a lot of TGM knowledge is that its tempting to tinker.

A few months ago I commited myself to reversing the ratio and spending more practice time around the greens.

Stinker . . . here's a thought . . . how about purchasing a net for your "tinkering" mechanics practice . . . . and spending your hour at the range playing shots rather than mechanics. Use more of your range time to really practice like you play. Go through your routine change targes and clubs. Practice at a slower pace . . . the game is SLOW between shots so try not to hit and rake.
