Only have 20 minutes to practice? A pro gives you two options of what to do by the minute

A professional golfer with five years on the tour has shared a time-efficient practice plan for players who can only dedicate 20 minutes a day to improving their game. Recognizing that elite players often log four to six hours daily—covering everything from swing refinement to green speed adjustments—he argues that amateurs don’t need that volume to see meaningful progress.

His first recommendation is a putting-focused session: start with a 20-minute drill to refine putter face control by rolling balls through a narrow gate, then spend 15 minutes mastering speed control from distances that mirror typical approach shots for scratch and 10-handicap players. The final five minutes target touch and green reading on sloped putts, gradually increasing difficulty until the golfer can consistently hit putts within two feet of the hole from up to eight feet away.

For those preferring range work, he suggests a shorter, high-intensity session focused on precision and consistency from key yardages, ensuring every minute counts toward skill development.
