INTRODUCTION
A golf play improvement plan to be executed to achieve an average score of bogey or better for all holes to be played during play of next golf round is presented on this page. Long Play Plans and a Short play plan will be presented.
The “Golf Play Improvement Plan” is presented on this page within the following sections.
- TEE BOX AREA: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
- FAIRWAY AREA: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
- NEAR GREEN AREA: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
- GREEN: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
- PAR 3 LONG PLAY PLAN
- PAR 4 LONG PLAY PLAN
- PAR 5 LONG PLAY PLAN
- SHORT GAME PLAY PLAN
The first four sections discuss last play performance and next practice plans for the key golf course play areas.
We first discuss TEE BOX PLAY.
A. TEE BOX PLAY: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
Actual total strokes from TEE BOX during last play was 30. This actual stroke count was 12 above the plan total of 18. Next tee box practice to prepare to play next round of golf will give priority to the practice of tee iron drive shots.
TEE BOX drive shots that will be practiced before next play are the following: 50D wedge, 9 Iron, 8 Iron, 7 Iron, 6 Iron, 5 Iron, 4 Iron, and Five wood. These shots will be practiced at driving range facility using at least 60 range balls and “natural arm hang 2- plane” setup.
B. FAIRWAY AREA PLAY: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
Actual total strokes from FWA during last play was 38. This actual stroke count was 11 above the total plan of 27. Next FWA drive practice to prepare to play next round of golf will give priority to the practice of 7 iron and Three Wood FWA drives.
FAIRWAY AREA drive shots that will be practiced before next play are the following: 50D wedge, 9 Iron, 8 Iron, 7 Iron, 6 Iron, 5 Iron, and Three wood. These shots will be practiced at driving range facility using at least 30 range balls and “natural arm hang 2- plane” setup.
C. NEAR GREEN AREA: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
Total strokes from NEAR GREEN during last play was 27. This actual stroke count was 9 above the total plan of 18. Next practice to prepare to play next round of golf will give priority to the practice of 50D Wedge Chip and 9 Iron Chip.
NEAR GREEN shots that will be practiced before next play are the following: Fringe Putt, 50D Wedge Chip, 9 Iron Chip, Sand Wedge Sand Shot, and Sand Wedge Pitch. These shots will be practiced at driving range facility using at least 10 range balls. These shots will also be practiced at golf course just prior to golf play.
The chip shots will be practiced using “ball back” setup. The sand shot will be practiced using “ball center” setup. The pitch shot will be practiced using “ball center” setup.
D. GREEN: NEXT PRACTICE PLAN
Total strokes from GREEN during last play was 39. This actual stroke count was 3 above the total plan of 36.
GREEN shots that will be practiced before next play are the following: Tap-In Putt, Short Putt, and Lag Putt. GREEN practice will occur at golf course the day of play.
These shots will be practiced using “forward leaning shaft” setup.
Next, we discuss Par 3 Long Play Plan.
E. PAR 3 LONG PLAY PLAN
Par 3 long game play plan is to cause ball to come to rest within short game area with one tee drive.
Key decisions to be made relative to Par 3 long game play will be:
- Selection of which part of the green to target, front, back, left, or right
- Selection of tee drive setup line
- Selection of tee drive to use to cause ball to come to rest on target
F. PAR 4 LONG PLAY PLAN
Par 4 long game play plan is to cause ball to come to rest within short game area with one tee drive and one fairway area drive.
Key decisions to be made relative to Par 4 long game play will be:
- Selection of which area of the fairway to target with tee drive
- Selection of tee drive to use to cause ball to come to rest on FWA target
- Selection of which area of the short game area to target with FWA drive
- Selection of FWA drive to use to cause ball to come to rest on FWA target
Tee drive selection will be either Driver, Five wood, or 4 iron.
Fairway Area drive selection will most likely be either 7 Iron or 3 Wood. 7 Iron FWA drive is more reliable than 3 Wood FWA drive.
G. PAR 5 LONG PLAY PLAN
Par 5 long game play plan is to cause ball to come to rest within short game area with one tee drive and two fairway area drives.
Key decisions to be made relative to Par 5 long game play will be:
- Selection of which area of the fairway to target with tee drive
- Selection of tee drive to use to cause ball to come to rest on FWA target 1
- Selection of which area of the fairway to target with FWA drive 1
- Selection of FWA drive 1 to use to cause ball to come to rest on FWA 2 target
- Selection of which area of the short game area to target with FWA drive 2
- Selection of FWA drive 2 to use to cause ball to come to rest within short game area
Tee drive selection will be either Driver, Five wood, or 4 iron.
Fairway Area drive 1 and 2 planned shot selection will be either 7 Iron or 3 Wood.
H. SHORT GAME PLAY PLAN
Key decisions to be made relative to short game play will be selection of first short game shot.
- Green putt
- Fringe putt
- Chip
- Sand shot
- Flop
- Pitch
Once short game shot is selected, a proven setup and swing will be used to execute the selected shot.
SUMMARY
