Summer Practice: The Importance of Drills and Staying Sharp with Trackman

June 24, 2025

Summer is prime time for golf improvement—but showing up to the range without a plan often leads to plateaus, not progress. That’s where drills come in, and, Trackman takes those drills to another level. Whether you’re working on wedges, iron control, or shaping shots, Trackman gives instant, objective feedback that helps you train with purpose.

One of the most popular features during summer sessions is the Trackman Performance Test. It’s a structured format where you hit to targets at varying distances and receive a performance score at the end. It’s competitive, focused, and far more productive than aimless ball-hitting. Players learn quickly where their gaps are—literally and figuratively—and begin adjusting how they practice. For example, if you’re consistently short on 90-yard shots, the data shows you—not just once, but over dozens of reps. Then you can work on that specific weakness instead of guessing. This also provide Strokes Gained (SG) analysis against various handicaps, so you can test your skills against your peers.

A great summer drill is learning to move your ball flight to different pin locations, especially tucked left or back-right pins. With Trackman, you can simulate those targets and watch how your shot pattern changes. Practising into a left pin from 150 yards forces you to commit to a shape, whether it’s a baby draw or a straight shot held up against the wind. These are the shots that separate average rounds from breakthrough ones.

Trackman also keeps your focus sharp by showing the cost of inconsistency. If your dispersion widens after 10 shots, that’s fatigue or breakdown in technique—not something you’d always catch without feedback. This kind of insight is crucial in summer when golfers are playing more and the temptation is to swing without reflection. Drills done well build muscle memory and shot confidence. Practised with Trackman, they create measurable improvement you can track week to week. Whether you’re a 5-handicap pushing for scratch or a 15 trying to break 80, summer is your opportunity—and Trackman is your guide.
