GS#309  Dr. Glen Albaugh discusses the best ways to utilize your practice and/or warm up time. Pearls of wisdom include “contingency practice” which is a methodolgy he learned from his best friend, Bill Walsh. How’s this concept? “Conservative strategy; Aggressive swing”. He also suggests that if you don’t have a lot of time to warm up on the range, then just pretend that you are playing the first four holes so you aren’t surprised when you get there. His suggestions for what to do focus on during practice are: 1. Technique, 2. Practice Like you Play, 3. Trust your swing.
