How to Practice

If you don't like to practice this is a strong indicator that you don't know how to practice.
How should you practice? Let me answer that question with another question.
What do you want to learn? What would be so amazing to discover and develop that you couldn't wait to get to get started?

Tim Gallwey said in his book Inner Game of Golf (see link below), "Without desire there is no goal, no action."
So what do you really want? Learn to hit it straight? Curve the ball?  Solid contact? Increase concentration? Swing and play without fear? Whatever it is that is where you start.

Next where would your attention best serve your learning? In other words what will you be paying attention to while you are swinging? If you can be present to that one thing you are interested in for a couple of seconds it will be remarkable what you discover. If your not able to stay present at first that's okay and is actually great to notice too. You can't put your attention where you want it if you don't know where it is.

Practice isn't something you should "have to do." Practice so that learning is your desire and you will enjoy your time spent practicing.
