I'm spoiled with my golf tech and membership, so I have access to hit balls any minute of the day I have availability, and it only helped me going from a 14 to a 6 handicap.
Emptying bucket after bucket isn't practicing.
When I'm actually practicing now, I have an actual plan in place and I stick to it, whether the swing is good that day or not.
tell you what..
My ball flight is different everyday. Loft, spin, curvature, speed and distance. It's different from morning to night. But it taught me the day to day variances of what my ball does and I can play with the expectation that my misses will be playable.
Majority of my practice swings have been 135 yards in. 80-135 yards, I feel like I'm the best at my club. It doesn't appear so on the surface as 90% of my approaches are mis-hits but I'm going to be putting. And once in a while I'm going to scare the hole. And this is where I beat the guys. I'm not the longest. I'm really not a good putter. My chipping is choppy. But give me 135 yards in or from the greenside bunker (I spend hours practicing once in a while), I'm gonna beat you.
