Over the past few weeks I've been reading various threads and I realized that there isn't one thread that is dedicated to quick tips and tricks. Don't get me wrong, this message board is LOADED with wonderful and helpful information, but I thought it might be nice to centralize the information.
The main inspiration for this thread came from reading the thread that dealt with hitting from mats on the practice range.
With that in mind my first tip is this:
If all you have to hit from is mats here are a few things you can do to make the experience more "realistic".
1. Pour water on the mat from where you're hitting (about the size of a pancake). The water does a few positive things. First it lets you see the direction in which your "divot" is going. Second it feels more like a real shot as opposed to hitting off of hard pan or concrete. Finally, it keeps your clubs nice and clean. When the mats are wet the green carpet does not stick to the sole of your club. Just make sure you have a towel to dry the clubs off.
