Golf Drill Selector
Find a useful drill for the part of your game you want to work on.
Choose one focus, tell us where you can practise and get a simple starting exercise. You'll see how to do it, what to notice and how to take it into a normal shot.
You don't need to know your swing fault. Start with what you can observe: heavy contact, unpredictable distance, missed starts or a swing that feels rushed.
One focus.
One useful drill.
Pick the closest description. You can change your answers and try again.
Notice the result.
Then play a shot.
Choose something you can observe
Solid contact, a first landing point or a ball rolling through a gate gives you useful feedback. “That felt better” is a starting impression, but it is harder to compare from one session to the next.
Keep the exercise manageable
Start with short sets. If the movement feels awkward or balance deteriorates, reduce the swing size or make the task easier. A drill should help you notice something, not make every shot a struggle.
Finish without the training aid
Remove the marker, return to your normal stance or choose a fresh target. Use your usual routine and find out what remains when the drill is gone.
A result is a practice suggestion based on your answers. It does not identify the cause of a swing fault. If the same problem persists, take your observations to a qualified golf coach.
Build a session.
Keep one clear focus.
Give the drill a job
Write down your focus and one measure before you start. Keep a small record of the result so your next session has a starting point.
Add a little variety
Once you understand the task, change the target or distance. Avoid changing five things at once: you still want to know what you are learning.
Put it into a range plan
