The source provides an analysis of why many golfers struggle to translate their practice performance at the driving range to actual course play. It identifies three major reasons for this common disconnect, starting with the lack of course-like conditions in typical range practice, which fails to prepare players for uneven lies and pressure. The text then explores the problem of overthinking mechanics when under pressure, leading to "paralysis by analysis," and finally addresses poor course management and decision-making. For each issue, the source offers specific, actionable solutions, such as simulating realistic course scenarios and developing a consistent pre-shot routine, to help golfers bridge the psychological and strategic gaps.
