Stop Guessing What To Practice Next
Most golfers “practice” by walking onto the range, looking at the buckets, and deciding on the spot what to hit.
A few wedges.
Some 7‑irons.
A handful of drivers.
You leave sweaty, but you don’t actually know if any of that moved you closer to lower scores.
You didn’t have a plan. You just had time.
Why guessing doesn’t work
When you guess what to practice, you usually:
- Avoid your real weaknesses
- Over-practice what already feels comfortable
- Never build skills in any kind of logical order
That’s why progress feels random. One week you play great, the next week you feel like a different golfer.
A better way to think about practice
Think of your game like a book with chapters:
- Chapter 1: Contact and starting the ball on line
- Chapter 2: Controlling distance
- Chapter 3: Start line and curve
- Chapter 4: Wedges and scoring clubs
- Chapter 5: Course management and decision-making
If you bounce around all five chapters every time you practice, you don’t really finish any of them.
Instead, you want to give one chapter at a time a real chance to stick.
This is what a game development plan does for you:
It tells you what chapter you’re in and exactly what to work on this week.
Soft pitch
If you’re tired of guessing what to practice, that’s exactly why I created the Game Development Playbook and built it to work with the Fairway Finder community.
You get:
- A step‑by‑step path for building your game instead of random tips
- Weekly support and accountability from me and other golfers actually doing the work

If you’ve ever thought “I work too hard on my game to be this stuck,” this was built for you.
