Common Mistakes in Driving Range Practice
Common range practice traps, cleaner fixes, and a better way to judge what comes next.

Where it goes sideways
The usual trouble in Common Mistakes in Driving Range Practice is not a lack of effort. It is a golfer letting the previous miss shape the next bucket instead of reading what the practice tee is asking now.
A cleaner fix
A cleaner range practice fix starts by naming the miss that actually matters. If use one ball for the final tee-shot rehearsal is the problem, do not repair it with three unrelated changes. Adjust the target-change drill, setup, or target only if it explains the result you saw.
Coach’s note: For range practice, the best correction is often the one you can still remember after a bogey.
Reset before the next one
Before the next bucket, say the range practice job plainly: what trouble are you avoiding, and what result would keep the round moving?
