Sequenced Practice  Email this Article to a Friend
When you practice the Science, be certain that you practice the sequence of your set up in order. Most players practice the Science out of order. When you learn something you are going to repeat, you learn it best by saying it to yourself, then rehearsing what you have learned in order. Verbal learning (phone numbers, poems, multiplication tables) occurs in the nervous system the same way motor learning (golf swing) does. You wouldn’t learn a phone number by repeating the last four digits first followed by the first three digits or poem by memorizing the verses out of order. The Science of your set up and golf motion is most efficiently learned when you practice in the same sequential order you use on the golf course. Learning takes place best with short, focused practice intervals followed by short breaks between practice periods. Practice the sequences independent of each other, in order, and then blend them as one continuous routine. All of this takes practice away from the range or course independent of ball striking. The blending of the sequences of the various positions and swing motion "spills" into your practice on the range. Getting it to the golf course is another story. Every one of us has stood on the range hitting one ball after another before we play and found a feeling we "know" is the magic bullet. When we get to the course, the feeling doesn’t produce the same results. We abandon the feel for the last "piece of Science" that worked for us. Why can’t we get the feel to the course? If you wanted to remember a phone number or a poem, you wouldn’t just practice the last three digits of the number or the last verse of a poem that had three verses would you? If you are going to get that feeling that produces those great shots to the course, you have to integrate or blend it into your total routine on the range for several shots before you go to the course. You will have the same experience on the range you would have when you are adding the first four digits of the phone number or the first two verses of the poem. Your first five to ten times of reciting the poem you will have less than a great performance. With repeated practice you will blend the beginning and end of the total sequence and your performance will gradually improve. That is to say, you will likely hit the ball "sideways" your first few times of blending your total routine with the feeling you found as you hit to precise targets on the range.
