Put that 5 iron down and start working on the game's four scorecard relevant skills. If you can drive the ball in play, wedge it well, be good around the greens, and make your short putts, then you can play any tour you want. Your scorecard couldn't care less about your trackman numbers or swing videos. Practice the skills that support scoring.
"I'm hitting it great on the range I just can't take it to the course." That's because multiple rep single skill execution (the range) is a lot different, and a lot easier, than single rep multiple skill execution (the course). Use the practice continuum to bring variability, feedback, and consequences to your range sessions. In other words, stop trying to take your range game to the course and start bringing the course to the range.
Maintain the four scorecard relevant skills. Troubleshoot the things that pop up by starting with execution fixes before technique ones. Add New Skills to increase scoring potential. I have yet to meet the person who does too much maintenance practice. I have met lots of people who do too much troubleshooting and new skill practice. A simple tip...start your sessions with maintenance work and then move on to the others.
If the only way to get better is to practice, then why are all of those people banging balls on the range not making progress. It's simple...they are practicing the wrong things, the wrong way. Master the scorecard relevant skills and bring the course to the range.
That's how you close your performance gap.
