choosing a quiet period on the course is perfect when playing a solo round as it gives you time to transfer new techniques from the practice area to your actual game a lone round of golf is great for trying tricky shots enabling you to become comfortable with them as there is nobody to judge you and you needn't feel self-conscious if what you are trying goes horribly wrong when playing by yourself you have the time to perfect all your routines so that you are able to execute them super fast without the feeling of being hurried by a playing partner you have time to become totally focused on each shot without thinking about the score when you are alone you can play a troublesome hole two or three times until you find the right strategy for you this will infuse you with confidence next time you play that hole there is nothing nicer than the walk between shots when you can actually enjoy being outside without being distracted by chit chat
