Q: What should I focus on when using the Circles Golf App for improvement?
A: Great question. Golf is a complex sport, and improvement often comes in stages. The Circles Golf App is designed to help you identify areas where you have the greatest opportunity for improvement.
First, we recommend assessing your underlying skill. This can be done by comparing your skills in a controlled practice environment with your performance on the course. If your practice performance is consistently higher than what's being delivered on the course, it might be time to look into factors like strategy, pre- and post-round routines, and mental preparation.
On the other hand, if you're struggling to achieve the practice goals, which are set slightly harder than your on-course replay from the last ten rounds, this could indicate a need for technical improvement in your game.
Q: How do I effectively practice specific shots, like approaches from 100-125 yards, when a driving range might not be the best venue for such practice?
A: Another insightful question. The Circles Golf App recommends practice routines based on areas identified for improvement. While a driving range is a great place to work on your swing, it might not always offer the practical application needed for certain situations.
When you need to practice specific shots, like approaches from 100-125 yards, consider using a golf simulator or visiting a specialized practice facility if possible. These tools can provide a more accurate representation of on-course conditions, allowing you to measure performance metrics like proximity to the hole.
Remember, golf improvement is a journey. With consistent, targeted practice, you'll see your performance start to align with your potential.
