Practice on the golf range to develop confidence

“How can I develop the confidence to believe and trust that I am a better golfer than how I am currently playing?”  

Confidence develops when you hit a particular shot successfully many times and you know you are capable of doing it again. To develop confidence in your game requires quality practice. Here are seven steps to practice on the range for improving your confidence:

1. Practice to overcome your weaknesses. This will make your game stronger.
2. Take a lesson so you know what to practice.
3. Think about what you are practicing. Don’t just hit balls randomly on the
   range. Have a plan, pick specific targets, and use your pre-shot routine.
4. Practice trouble shots that you might have to hit, such as hitting out of a divot.
5. Practice the way you will play. Practice playing while on the practice
   tee. Hit the shots in the same sequence that you would on the golf course.  Go
   out on the golf course when it isn’t crowded and practice hitting those same
   shots from different positions until you enjoy hitting them.
6. Use positive self-talk to reinforce what you are doing well. Harvey Penick said, “Confidence is a form of positive thinking.”
7. Reinforce every good shot by feeling the wonder of it in your heart.
