Why Brooks Koepka has an ‘odd’ practice range routine

Why Brooks Koepka has an ‘odd’ practice range routine

**Brooks Koepka’s ‘Odd’ Practice Range Routine**

Brooks Koepka has always been known for his unique approach to the game of golf. From his unconventional swing to his often stoic demeanor, Koepka is not afraid to do things his own way.

And that extends to his practice range routine. While most players hit balls for hours on end, Koepka takes a more minimalist approach. He typically only hits a few dozen balls before heading to the putting green.

But what really sets Koepka’s routine apart is his use of a weighted club. The club is about twice the weight of a normal club, and Koepka uses it to develop his power and accuracy.

“It’s all about creating speed,” Koepka said. “The heavier club forces me to swing faster, which in turn helps me generate more power with my regular clubs.”

Koepka’s practice range routine may seem odd to some, but it’s clearly working for him. He is one of the most successful golfers in the world, having won four major championships and been ranked No. 1 in the world.

How do you prevent a bad round from getting worse? An LPGA pro shares her strategy

**How to Prevent a Bad Round from Getting Worse: LPGA Pro’s Strategy**

Golf is a challenging game, and even the best players have bad rounds. Sometimes, it seems like the harder you try to recover from a bad start, the worse it gets. But there are some things you can do to prevent a bad round from spiraling out of control.

One of the best things you can do is to focus on one shot at a time. Don’t dwell on the mistakes you’ve already made, and don’t get ahead of yourself by thinking about the shots you have yet to play. Just focus on the shot you’re currently facing, and try to hit it the best you can.

It also helps to have a pre-shot routine that you can follow. This routine should help you to focus your mind and get into the right mindset for each shot. Your routine might include taking a few deep breaths, visualizing the shot you want to hit, and then waggling the club a few times. Whatever your routine is, make sure it’s something that you can do consistently, and that it helps you to stay focused.
