It's easy to complicate something simple. It's much more difficult - and much more useful - to distill a thorny concept into something digestible and actionable.
In golf, this tension between the simple and the complex plays out repeatedly on the driving range. Scenes of pros getting super-technical with their swings after a bad round tend to make us overcomplicate things, even though the way we play golf is much less sophisticated. Drilling down to the essentials, especially with our limited practice time, is what Nathalie Sheehan's series The Next Shot is all about.
Season 3 of The Next Shot just wrapped on GolfPass. I've cherry-picked two of my favorite segments from this season that I think you need to see, and I've added a popular social tip, too, which is a little shorter in length but no less relevant to you and your quest to play better golf.
Getting creative on the range
Most golfers only practice their "stock" shots on the range. But what happens when you need to hit a draw or a fade out on the course? This segment will help create a foundation for you to incorporate more creativity into your practice routine in order to make your next shot - and your next round - better.
Scottie-like setup
He's won practically everything under the sun for the last two years, so why wouldn't we look to Scottie Scheffler as a model for our own golf improvement? His footwork may intimidate and confuse golfers, but in this tip, Nathalie shows what every golfer can take away from his rock-solid setup.
Must-see social tip: Stop-light distance drill
With more than 450,000 views on Instagram, it's safe to say that golfers have responded well to this great driving drill.
