Professional golfers can do things that most amateurs cannot, but having productive practice sessions shouldn’t be one of them. There’s simply no excuse for a professional to be more focused during a practice session than you are. Unfortunately, most golfers don’t know how to practice properly, which is why they tend to shoot the same scores year after year.

If you really want to improve your game, start by improving the way you practice with these 15 tips I’ve learned from professional golfers. These tips don’t ask you to increase the amount of time you practice, although you may want to when you start shooting better scores.

1) Only practice your long game when you have time to focus. A rushed practice session is better spent on the short game, not the long game.

2) Always practice with a goal in mind. Figure out what you are working on. Is it a feeling, a shot pattern, etc.? Commit to improving it with the time you have available.

3) Always monitor your alignments when you are practicing. Build a practice station, and then adjust it so you are aiming at different targets constantly.

4) During your practice session, take the time to hit one-third of your shots from the left, center, and right side of the practice tee. This will make sure you don’t get visually intimidated with certain “looks” on the course.

5) When you practice, use your “odd” clubs one day and your “evens” the next. This will stop excessive wear and help build confidence with every club, not just your favorite clubs.

6) Spend ample time on the club that gives you the most trouble in your bag. Either figure out how to hit it or switch it out for something that works better.

7) Find someone with a Trackman and do a gap test. Knowing how far you carry each club is a valuable tool. This will help you adjust the lofts of your clubs, if necessary, so your yardage gaps are consistent.

8) Audit your set make-up. Do you have several clubs that you hit very close to the distance? Is a certain distance giving you fits because you never seem to have the right club? You can only carry 14 clubs, so choose wisely.

9) To become a better player, work on your wedges on the range. Know how far certain “feeling” swings go and what you can do to alter your wedge yardages. If you can learn even one distance well — say 50 yards — you can alter that swing to adjust to longer and shorter shots.

10) While working on the short game, always focus on where you want the ball to land on the green based on the trajectory you choose.

11) Practice leaving the ball under the hole with an uphill right-to-left putt (if you’re right-handed). This is statistically the easiest putt to make.

12) Make sure any clubs in your bag that are adjustable are adjusted properly for your swing and overall game. Practicing with poorly fit clubs is a waste of time.

13) When struggling on the practice tee, take a break, come back and try again. If that doesn’t work, move on to the short game area or putting green.

14) Spend half of your time on your long game and half of your time on your short game in practice. Sounds easy, right? Bring a stopwatch and time yourself. You won’t believe how difficult it is.

15) Even on the range, go through your entire pre-shot routine to ingrain your method. It helps your body and mind to focus on the shot at hand, and will improve your performance under pressure.
