Do you practice putting enough?

Let's start with an uncomfortable question.

Do you practice putting enough?

Not:
"Do you think putting is important?"

Most golfers agree it is.

The real question is:
Do you actually spend enough time practicing it?

Because somehow it's a lot easier to:
- buy a new driver
- watch swing videos
- hit a bucket of balls
- research equipment

Than it is to spend 20 minutes rolling putts.

And yet...

A lot of rounds are won or lost on the greens.

So let's hear it.

Do you practice putting enough?

Or is it one of those things you know you should do more often?

Golf has a funny way of making the boring things matter the most.

What’s your range routine?

Every golfer has a range routine.

Or at least a routine they tell themselves they have.

Some golfers warm up methodically.

Some hit a small bucket with purpose.

Some immediately grab the driver and start swinging like they're trying to qualify for the PGA Tour.

So let's hear it.

What's your range routine?

Do you:
start with wedges?
work through the bag?
focus on one thing?
practice like you play?
hit whatever club is currently frustrating you?

No right answers.

Just curious what actually works for you.

Because range sessions and actual golf rounds seem to have a complicated relationship.

How often do you practice?

Golfers LOVE talking about improvement.

Actually practicing consistently?

Different story sometimes.

So -
how often do you practice?

Are you:
range multiple times a week?
once before every round?
putting mat in the house?
“I should probably practice more” mode?
grinding short game?
buying training aids instead of actually practicing? (we’ve all been there)

And honestly -
what kind of practice feels like it actually helps your game?

Because sometimes it feels like:
one great range session = confidence

and one bad bucket = complete swing reconstruction.

Golf is efficient like that.

Consistent practice sounds great until golf starts golfing.
