066: How to Practice Golf on Vacation (Without a Club)

About this episode

The episode discusses practical ways to practice golf while on vacation without access to traditional equipment.

Just because you’re away from the course doesn’t mean your golf improvement has to stop. In this episode, our coaches discuss practical ways to work on your game while traveling, even if you don’t have access to a range, a golf course, or even a club! From grip rehearsals and mirror work to balance drills, mobility training, and course-management or statistical studies, they share simple ways to stay connected to your goals without turning your vacation into a training camp. The crew also explains why slow-motion practice can be surprisingly effective and how a single club (or even just a dowel rod) can provide plenty of productive work. Hosts: Erik J.
