Busy office workers often struggle to find enough time for golf practice. The key is maximizing results through smart training methods.
Kim Ki-hwan, director of Logic Golf Academy at Namseoul Country Club who coaches KPGA Tour veteran Park Sang-hyun, offered advice on March 2: "If you're struggling with slices or hooks, try using corner hitting bays."
For severe slicers, practicing from the left corner bay is recommended. With the left side blocked by a wall or netting, golfers naturally look right and develop an in-to-out swing path, straightening their shots, Kim explained. Conversely, those battling hooks should use right corner bays.
It's common for shots that feel straight to fly off in unexpected directions. This likely stems from improper initial alignment. Rather than mindlessly repeating swings during practice, golfers should regularly check their alignment and aim. Targeting specific points on posts or netting is another recommended drill. For irons, carry distance matters more than total distance, so players should focus on where balls land.
Experimenting with tee heights to understand trajectory changes is also essential. Spring brings strong winds, making low-trajectory shots from lower tee positions particularly useful. Golfers should also practice hitting from slightly elevated tees for tailwind conditions.
