Last year an insurance agent with 2 kids walked into the Georgia Open and beat a field of professionals by 2 shots. He barely practices, and when he does, he never grinds for more than an hour.

In this episode Nate breaks down how he competes at the top of the amateur game on almost no practice time. Play more than you practice. One good 4 iron and the work is done. 90 percent of his putting is 4 and 5 footers. And he decides how he is going to react before he ever hits the putt.

If this makes you rethink how you spend your range time, that is exactly what the Play Ready Golf app is built for. It takes the time you actually have, the facilities you can get to, and your skill level, then builds a practice plan that gets harder as you get better.
