Paddy from PaddyTalksGolf introduces a performance-based practice routine focused on start-line precision. By using an alignment stick as a visual barrier and incorporating push-ups as a penalty for misses, this method forces golfers to improve clubface awareness under pressure.
Place an alignment stick 5-10 yards ahead of your ball to define your start-line boundary.
Introduce a physical 'punishment' or consequence to simulate on-course pressure during practice.
Focus on the clubface angle at impact, as it accounts for approximately 80% of the ball's initial direction.
Practicing with a specific performance goal is more effective than aimless block practice.
