Training
- Physical and Golf Practice
- 3 years
- I train at one of our local gym, the Peak health and fitness center, 4-5 times a week weight training and running for cardio. I mostly focus on strengthening my legs and core with golf specific exercises. I practice at my home course, the Missoula Country Club, anywhere from 12-15 hours a week during the season. I spend about 65% of my time working on drills with my short game to improve my feel on and around the greens and my feel for speed when I putt. The other 35% of my time is spent on the driving range grooving my swing, trying to improve my iron accuracy to hit more greens per round.
