Golf Thursday
I need a smart golfer's/ golf pro's help please.?

Ok lets start off with some background information, I am 14 almost 15 years old I have played golf for about 10 or 11 years now and I practice golf Monday-Thursday from about 3:00pm-6:00pm and most fridays I only practice from 3:00pm-3:00pm or 4:00pm (because I work) on Saturdays I usually play golf at a golf course or go to the driving range same with Sundays. Ok for the question, what would be a good schedule to follow to most effectivly practice golf (Example-Monday-Thursday chipping and Friday-Sunday driving) one more thing I forgot to mention is that I live in a pretty bunched up neighborhood so I don't want to risk hitting real golf-balls with anything but 7 iron- wedges. Usually I use the larger clubs with plastic golf balls, however, those don't give a good feedback on the swing. I also hit the plastic golf balls rather long with my driver around 100-150 yards. So please help me out I really would like to become a better player and become part of the Pga Tour.
Thanks,
TWF.

Sounds like you have the right idea already. I've found that the best golfers are those who are self-aware. You know what works for you better than I do. Also, I hope you are working with a golf professional. They will often offer discounts for juniors (some occasionally will offer free lessons). If you can't afford private lessons, get a part-time job at a golf course. Be sure to discuss your interest in lessons with the pro before taking the job. You should have no trouble finding someone who is willing to give you free lessons in exchange for part-time work.

I would also recommend you focus on the short game (3 days a week). Here a routine I use with better golfers:
1) Hit 10 50-yard shots with a sandwedge.
2) Hit 10 40-yard shots with a pitching wedge.
3) Hit 10 5-yard shots with a 7 iron.
4) Hit 10 30-foot putts.
5) Hit 10 10-foot putts.
6) Hit 10 greenside bunker shots.
In each case, hole out the shots and keep score (par is 2). You want to get the lowest score possible.

The second drill is making 50 3-foot putts in a row. If you miss a putt, you have to start at the beginning.

Lots of luck!!
