Maximize Your Golf Practice
This simple, effective time management technique can improve your chipping, putting, and overall golf training.
These cannabis gummies keep selling out in 2023
If you've ever struggled to enjoy cannabis due to the harshness of smoking or vaping, you're not alone. That’s why these new cannabis gummies caught our eye.
Mood is an online dispensary that has invented a “joint within a gummy” that’s extremely potent yet federally-legal. Their gummies are formulated to tap into the human body’s endocannabinoid system.
Although this system was discovered in the 1990’s, farmers and scientists at Mood were among the first to figure out how to tap into it with cannabis gummies. Just 1 of their rapid onset THC gummies can get you feeling right within 5 minutes!
Time Boxing Your Practice
Golf practice is more than hitting a few balls at the range or casually working on your short game. If you want to see real improvement, it’s about intentional time management—and time boxing is a proven way to get there.
As a golfer, your practice should be structured to maximize every minute, especially in the Arizona heat. This guide will explain how time boxing practice can help you optimize your training, particularly for putting and overall skill-building.
What Is Time Boxing?
Time boxing is a productivity technique that dedicates a fixed, pre-set amount of time to specific tasks. In golf, it means dividing your practice sessions into focused blocks. For example, instead of spending an entire hour at the driving range, you might spend 20 minutes on putting, 15 minutes on chipping, and 25 minutes on driving.
Why it works: You eliminate distractions and avoid spending too much time on one part of your game while neglecting other areas. This method ensures a balanced approach to practice sessions, resulting in steady overall improvement.
The Benefits of Time Boxing
In Arizona, where the temperatures can soar, efficient practice is critical. Timeboxing allows you to focus on key areas without burnout or overexertion. For example, you manage your energy better in extreme conditions by dedicating 15 minutes to putting practice in a shaded area and 20 minutes to your irons on the range.
Efficiency tip: Opt for early or late afternoon sessions during hot summer to avoid peak heat. A timeboxed plan ensures you cover your bases without lingering in the sun.
Optimizing Your Putting Practice
Putting practice is often the most neglected part of golf training, but it’s one area where time boxing shines. Instead of casually putting until you’re tired, set specific goals within a time frame—like 15 minutes of short putts followed by 10 minutes of lag putts.
Pro tip: Use a WellPutt mat or other training aids to maximize your putting practice efficiency at home, mainly if course access is limited. Consistency over time is vital.
Example of a Timeboxed Practice Session
Here’s how you can structure a 60-minute practice session:
• 10 minutes: Warm-up/stretching
• 15 minutes: Putting (short and lag putts)
• 10 minutes: Chipping and pitching
• 20 minutes: Driving range (irons and woods)
• 5 minutes: Cool down or mental focus work (visualization, breathing exercises)
Sticking to this format ensures you address all parts of your game efficiently and without wasting time.
