Are you putting in the work to be where you think you should be?
By Bill Reeb
During golf season, I like to hit practice balls at the driving range. I also like to take lessons with my golf professional – mostly playing lessons as opposed to ball striking lessons, because just hitting the ball is far less of a problem than the lapse of synapses striking properly in my brain.

To clarify, during a normal game, I try to hit shots that I have no business hitting, or forget to stay in the moment, or fail to focus on hitting one shot at a time. But during my playing lessons, I review with the pro what I plan to do and why I am making the shot choices I am proposing. It should be no surprise that with this level of concentration and shot-by-shot focus, I play some of my best golf with my pro in tow.
