We did an experiment during the district training with skilled juniors. All players used their own golf balls. Half the team started playing 9 balls from 30 m, then 9 balls from 60 m and finally 9 balls from 90 m toward a pin on a practice green. The other team started to hit one ball toward the pin from 90 m, then walked closer and hit one ball from 60 m, then finally hit one ball from 30 m on each green. This was done over 9 holes. The teams then changed environment. The distance from the holes after the shots were noted.


The figure shows one players nine balls from 30m between the two different situations.

• S=Side miss in meters, - is left and + is right
• D=Distance miss, - is short and + is long
• Absolute means signs are disregarded when summing them together
• PEI%=Percent Error Index %, i.e. the distance to the target divided with distance from the target x 100.

The intention was to increase the focus during training, as all shots counts, and to have individual data to discuss training with. How do you interpret the result from 30m between blocked range test vs varied course test if this data set was larger? What lessons can be learned and how can tests like this be used pedagogically?

Bubba Watson is not the average tour player. The way he trains and plays is different. Take a look at the recent Bubba interview at Letterman:

Letterman: How did you get your name “Bubba”?
Watson: My dad.
Letterman: Fifty percent of the recent winners at Augusta have been left-handed, is that true?
Watson: Fifty percent are right-handed too.
Letterman: How would you describe your personal style of play, your personal approach to golf?
Watson: Awesome.
Letterman: Do people ever say, “If you drop your head and lift your elbow...”?
Watson: They do say that but I don’t know what they mean.
