Professional Golfers Move Slow: Why Pace Matters at the Range

Professional golfers take almost twice as long as amateurs to hit the same number of balls on the driving range.

The pros invest considerable time preparing for each shot: focusing on grip, stance, alignment, posture, rehearsing mentally, and watching the entire flight of the ball. This detailed process ensures every aspect is optimized.
