Using the Golf Training Log Template
Weekly Home Training
After each session, each athlete should have a golf specific drill or exercise to rehearse at home. Supplement the rehearsals with some stretching and strengthening suggestions, depending on the athlete's assessment.
Share the home training suggestions to the family or friend that is responsible for the athlete to assure the training gets done or to serve as a training partner.
Coaches and athletes may use this template to track practice progress and prepare for your next practice session or competition.
It is important that the athletes have at least 1 or 2 positive thoughts to reflect between practice sessions. The template does not have to be completed at each sub-title. Simply circle the one or two key areas of concern and write the tip or thought in the space provided.
Also, encourage the athlete to write down their personal swing keys in their own words if possible. Ask the athlete their intention and use their words.
Below is an example of tips one might include when completing the template:
| |
Skill:
Chipping
Goal:
To chip 4 of 10 balls into the designated target area.
Pre-Swing:
Grip: Palms facing each, choke down on the handle when placing hands.
In-Swing:
Tempo: Tick-Tock, 5 - 7 on the clock
Drills/Suggestions:
- Brush grass drill using mini-swing.
- Railroad track alignment: Place one club on target line and one on body line.
- Practice your chipping to close targets with whiffle balls or tennis ball in back yard.
Notes: Squeeze your tennis ball. Remember your personal tempo swing que: "Donald Duck"! | |
Remember, my thoughts are not your thoughts.
It is important to not only jot down corrective swing thoughts, but to note thoughts or comments the athlete might have when they hit a good shot, or made an awesome swing.
Ask the athlete, try to use their words or body description when making a point. Felt like……Looks like…….Sounds like…..!
