Masters champion Dustin Johnson’s driving range routine and practice session at Augusta

The 2020 Masters champion was at the driving range at Augusta National Golf Club on Monday and Mirror Sport closely followed his routine as Dustin Johnson attempts to win his third major

For many, the driving range is a source of freedom. A place to blow off steam after work or enjoy socially with friends.

For others, this is where the real work is done. Recreational golfers often spend hours smashing balls while trying to perfect their game before club championships or weekend matches with friends. However, for many golfers, just “hitting the ball” without much thought is all too common. Before you know it, you’ve been hit 100 times and you’ve barely learned anything. If you need some guidance, check out Dustin Johnson’s workouts. The 39-year-old is a two-time major champion, including the Masters, and has won 24 PGA Tour events and three LIV Golf events. Johnson was in the stands at Augusta National on Monday ahead of Thursday’s tournament, and Mirror Sports is keeping an eye on his routine. Johnson came to the pits with Vijay Singh on one side and Scotty Scheffler and Collin Morikawa on the other. Once in position, DJ and his team took some time to set up the shot tracker. I mean, it took quite a while. The spin, swing speed, and distance of his balls were carefully measured so that he had two balls, one in front of the compartment and one behind it. Opening a rectangular cardboard package containing an assortment of new gloves, Johnson pulled one out and placed it on his left hand. Then he pulled a raised wedge out of his bag and began the session. Johnson began hitting putts from the quarter to the half-swing, some extending 10 to 15 yards and others extending 40 to 50 yards. He took time out between shoots. He talked regularly with his caddy and coach, and he always had at least 30 seconds to spare between shots.

And he still had his one goal in mind. This time he’s 75 yards to the flag and green. Even if he didn’t make the shot, he had the line. Johnson began to increase the range of his swing, moving into a three-quarter swing and finally reaching the green. He then took a second wedge from his bag and began creating a flag. Johnson hit about 20 wedge shots in total before hitting his first iron. Similar to the corner method, Johnson started with a three-quarter turn before moving to full power. This time Johnson took the flag and the 210-yard green. Again, his three-quarter roundhouse kick didn’t land, but he never lost his line.

The flight distance of an iron shot is 150 to 180 meters. After hitting about seven shots with the 1-iron, he moved on to the 2-iron, and this time Johnson hit a 210 green. He knocked seven more times.

All the while, Johnson spent his time chatting with his team, playing with his shot tracker and talking with other pros and competitors. he was in no hurry. And when we wanted to check the distance, the caddy would send out a laser to make sure DJ was flying in the direction he wanted. I then took the wood out of the bag and only 3 shots hit the deck, making it over 210. Then it was time for the driver. In a somewhat bizarre twist, Johnson tested four drivers, including the one he had in his bag.
