Play vs Practice for Improvement

You want to get better at golf. Where is improvement to be found: on the course or the range? In this episode, Mark and Lou give answers to this question—and there isn't one simple answer. Play on course has advantages: ultimately, scoring better in the goal. But it can be hard to use the course for practice, and there are questions about posting scores. Range practice might be better for certain changes, but introducing pressure to perform at the right time is a skill. There's a lot of good information here for golf improvement.
