What does effective golf practice actually look like?

In this episode of Divot: The Golf Performance Podcast, Steve Thomas is joined by renowned golf coach Hugh Marr for a wide-ranging conversation about how golfers practise, how they improve and why traditional practice doesn’t always produce better performance on the course.

They explore when golfers should work on technique, when they should stop thinking technically, how practice should be structured and how to decide whether a player needs to change their swing or simply change the way they train.

The conversation also covers:

• What separates productive practice from simply hitting balls

• How to make limited practice time more effective

• The difference between how elite and club golfers practise

• When repetition is useful and when it becomes unproductive

• How golfers can create practice that better prepares them for the course

• The role of challenge, feedback and measurement

• Common beliefs about practice that may be holding golfers back

This episode is for golfers who practise regularly but aren’t seeing the improvement they expect, as well as coaches who want to think more deeply about how skills are developed.

Divot: The Golf Performance Podcast helps golfers understand how to practise more effectively, make better decisions and take their game from the practice ground to the golf course.
