Step 1 is to identify the problem(s). This can be accomplished several ways. My personal feeling is this is where teaching pro's are worth their weight in gold. I also am coming to believe that for most of us recreational players tinkering with our swing is a BIG mistake, we don't have the knowledge or skill to accurately diagnose - much less fix - something so we make it worse.

Step 2 is to fix the problem.

Step 3 is to take it to the course.

I fully appreciate that for many people steps 2 & 3 are blended, they get better benefits this way. I have been giving this topic some thought and I lean toward spending time on the range reinforcing the corrections and building up muscle memory. When I get to the course I want to be thinking about strategy, course management and scoring, not swing thoughts. Finally, I agree with others that a break is important because frustration can get in the way of fixing things...plus, this is supposed to be fun

Hang in there and good luck!
