My 1 Hour Practice Routine – When Life Gets Busy!

Happy Monday,

Last newsletter, I asked what your biggest challenge was with practice — and the answer was clear: limited time and lack of direction. So this week's video is for you.

I've broken down the exact routine I use when I have an hour or less, covering the range, putting green, and chipping area. Have a watch and apply the lessons to your own game.

This Week:

• Video – My One-Hour Golf Practice Routine

• Short Video – Matt Fitzpatrick Stats

My One-Hour Golf Practice Routine

🏌️ Rapid-Fire Takeaways

✅ Split your range balls into blocks of 5 — it keeps you focused and adds variability across your full bag, not just your favourite clubs

✅ Spend half your range time on your weakest area, not your strongest — use a scoring system to create pressure (BxG builds this challenge for you automatically)

✅ The only reason to work on your start line is that if you can't start the ball where you're aiming, pace and green-reading don't matter

✅ Five minutes of chipping beats zero — focus on solid contact on a simple shot first; everything else builds from there

✅ Structure beats volume every time — 40 balls with a plan outperforms 100 balls hit randomly

⛳ A Challenge for Your Next Practice

🔷 High-Handicapper (20+): Create a 20-yard fairway on the range using two alignment sticks or signs as boundaries. Hit 10 driver shots and score yourself: 3 pts for a fairway, -1 for missing right, -3 for missing left (flip the scoring if you slice). Target score: +5.

🔷 Mid-Handicapper (7–20): Head to the putting green and set up a start-gate with two tees just wider than a ball. Hit 10 putts from 6 feet and count how many go through the gate cleanly. Aim for 5 in a row before you leave.

🔷 Low-Handicapper (<7): Run the full routine as described — but before you start, identify your single weakest strokes gained category from your last 3 rounds and make sure your 20-ball block targets that area specifically. No excuses for generic practice; this should become your non-negotiable practice.
