Trainer Tips for the Teen Golfer
A lot of times, too much of a good thing isn’t always good. When practicing and working on your game, you must take time to reflect, analyze and take note on what is working and what is not. Shooting lower scores is the main goal. You must have a well rounded practice routine. It could be your diet, weight lifting, stretching exercises. These all help but when done too much, they can become detrimental.
Your mind and body must stay fresh to play at your highest level.
Studying and working on the best techniques in all areas of golf must be mastered. There are so many areas to the game and they must all be studied. Putting, chipping, pitching, bunker and that is only the start. You must be thorough in your practice. Exercise is the same way. You must learn technique for your body to improve over time.

There is a reason the great athletes of today hire dietitians and personal chefs. They must fuel their bodies in order to perform at the highest level. No way around this. Study your diet and take a stance to do better. Diet habits are as important as hours of practice on the range.
