Range Swings vs. League Swings
You’ve probably had this experience:
On the range, your swing looks and feels solid.
On league night, it’s like someone swapped bodies with you.
That gap between range swing and league swing is one of the biggest frustrations I hear.
It’s not a sign you’re broken.
It’s usually a sign your practice plan is.
Same swing, different environment
On the range:
- You’re warm, unhurried, and not keeping score
- You often hit the same club multiple times
- You can fix a bad shot with “one more”
On the course:
- You don’t always feel loose
- Every shot is new: different club, lie, and target
- There are consequences for big misses
So if your practice never trains you for switching clubs, targets, and pressure, your game won’t transfer.
Add “game reps” to your practice
This doesn’t have to be brutal.
Even one or two “game reps” in each session help:
- Playing your league course on the range, one ball per “hole”
- Keeping a simple score for good vs. bad misses
- Ending each session with 5–10 shots using your pressure club under a tiny bit of consequence
Those are the kinds of details a solid plan bakes in for you automatically.
