Ask 10 different golfers "what is the best way to practice golf" and you'll get 10 different answers. 

Here's what we know. 

Some research indicates that it typically takes approximately 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to achieve expertise in something.

That would mean 10,000 golf swings! Um…no thanks.

The amount of practice needed to acquire new skills varies depending on the individual and the nature of the knowledge being acquired. For example, someone with a background in baseball or hockey might find it far easier to fine tune their golf swing. 

Gifted learners often require 1-4 repetitions, while average learners may need 1-10 repetitions. 

Struggling learners, on the other hand, may require more than 100 repetitions to grasp certain swing mechanics or different aspects of the game.
