Lately, I’ve been practicing more than playing, working on a few things…I count time on the course as practice when it isn’t busy and I am playing a few balls, dropping some in bunkers, some at 100yds, etc. and trying out things…I also go to the range for full swing and bunker practice about twice a week for 2 hours a session, practice green once a week for at least an hour, sometimes three, and do chipping and putting in my living room daily…the past few weeks have probably been two thirds practice and one third playing…

Are you a “practicer” or a “player”, or do you try to strike a balance?
I'm a "balance" guy, myself (I guess).

It's not too hard to find 5 or 6 hours a week to practice; that's two or three sessions. And I probably play twice a week during the heart of the season.

I've stopped chipping in my living room, though; only putting from now on. One broken sliding glass door is quite enough.
