MY GOLF BLUEPRINT
Improve iron contact over four weeks
Beginner to intermediate
Reduce ground-first and thin strikes with a clear contact measure.
Use two focused sessions each week plus a short on-course or putting test when practical. A 15-minute version can use the first task only; a 30- or 60-minute session can add target changes and a scored finish. Allow recovery and adapt volume to comfort.
Week 1: Short-swing baseline
Hit ten half-swings and classify contact. Repeat once later in the week.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 2: Locate low point
Use a safe ball-line reference on suitable turf. Record the first ground-contact point.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 3: Build length gradually
Alternate short and normal swings while retaining the same target.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Week 4: Random targets
Play one ball at a time to different targets and compare contact with the first week.
Begin with a short warm-up, keep a written count, and finish with one attempt per target rather than repeated retries.
Measure your progress
Count clean, thin and ground-first strikes. Use the smallest reliable task when the longer swing breaks down.
Lessons for this program
Avoid this mistake
Do not add several new technical changes after a poor session. Compare similar tasks, note conditions and keep the next goal small. If the movement is uncomfortable or progress stalls, a qualified coach can help adapt the plan.
