For many golfers, practice means hitting ball after ball at the driving range without a clear objective. While repetition can help build familiarity with your swing, unstructured practice rarely leads to meaningful improvement.
That’s why Foresight Sports developed Target Practice, a new feature in the Foresight App designed to help golfers improve distance control, accuracy, and overall shot consistency using launch monitor data.
By combining structured drills, customizable challenges, and performance tracking, Target Practice transforms traditional practice sessions into a more engaging, data-driven experience. Instead of simply hitting balls, golfers can practice with purpose and measure their progress over time.
Whether you’re training indoors on a golf simulator or outdoors at the driving range with a Foresight launch monitor, Target Practice helps golfers develop the skills that translate directly to better scoring on the course.
Why Distance Control Is Critical for Lower Scores
Distance control is one of the most important skills in golf. While driving distance often gets the spotlight, scoring is usually determined by how well a golfer controls approach shots inside 200 yards.
Poor distance control often leads to:
-
Missed greens in regulation
-
Difficult recovery shots around the green
-
Longer putts and more three-putts
-
Higher overall scores
Golfers who improve their distance control tend to:
-
Hit more greens in regulation
-
Leave shorter and more manageable putts
-
Avoid short-sided misses around the green
-
Create more birdie opportunities
Target Practice was designed specifically to help golfers develop these skills through structured launch monitor training drills that focus on approach shot precision.
What Is Target Practice?
Target Practice is a practice mode within the Foresight App that challenges golfers to hit specific yardages and earn points based on shot accuracy.
Instead of simply hitting balls toward a range flag, golfers aim at defined targets and receive real-time scoring feedbackbased on how close each shot lands to the intended distance.
Every shot is evaluated using launch monitor data, allowing golfers to better understand:
-
Distance control
-
Shot dispersion patterns
-
Miss tendencies
-
Club consistency
By reviewing their results over time, golfers can track improvement and identify areas of their game that need attention.
Four Built-In Golf Practice Drills
Target Practice includes four built-in drills designed to challenge different areas of your approach game.

Designed to challenge golfers with longer approach shots using mid- and long-irons.
Features include:
-
Randomized yardages
-
Five target distances
-
Helps build confidence on longer approach shots
Approach Fixed (120–160 yards)
A structured drill focused on repetition and consistency.

Customize Your Practice Sessions
One of the biggest advantages of Target Practice is its flexibility. Golfers can adjust a variety of settings before starting a session, allowing them to tailor their practice to specific training goals.
Customizable settings include:
-
Difficulty level
-
Target distances
-
Number of shots
-
Quadrant scoring zones
Quadrant Mode
Quadrant Mode introduces an additional scoring layer that rewards shots landing within specific areas around the target.
This provides deeper insight into directional misses, helping golfers understand whether their shots tend to miss left, right, long, or short
This type of feedback is extremely valuable for players and coaches who want to analyze shot patterns and dispersion tendencies.
Create Custom Golf Practice Drills
Beyond the built-in options, golfers can also create fully customized practice drills within the Foresight App.
Examples include:
-
Short-iron ladder drills
-
Mid-iron dispersion training
-
Short game distance control drills
-
Randomized approach shot challenges
Custom drills allow golfers to recreate the types of shots they frequently encounter on the course, making practice more relevant and effective.
This flexibility makes Target Practice a valuable training tool for:
-
Competitive golfers
-
Teaching professionals
-
Golf coaches
-
Dedicated amateurs working to improve their game
Track Performance and Beat Your Best Score
Another key feature of Target Practice is the performance scoring system.
Each shot earns points based on how close it lands to the target. At the end of every session, golfers receive a performance summary that highlights their results.
This allows players to:
-
Track improvement over time
-
Compare different practice sessions
-
Identify strengths and weaknesses
-
Set measurable practice goals
By adding a scoring element to practice, Target Practice introduces a level of competition that helps golfers stay engaged and motivated during training sessions.
Compatible With Foresight Launch Monitors
Target Practice works seamlessly with all Foresight launch monitors, including:
-
GCQuad
-
GC3
-
Bushnell Launch Pro
The feature is available through the Foresight App on iOS and Android, allowing golfers to practice anytime, anywhere.
Whether you’re using a home golf simulator setup or practicing outdoors at the range, Target Practice provides professional-level training feedback with every shot.
Practice With Purpose
Traditional range sessions can become repetitive and unfocused. Target Practice changes that by introducing structure, measurable feedback, and competitive scoring into every practice session.
Instead of simply hitting balls, golfers are challenged to execute precise shots and track their progress over time.
The result is practice that feels more like play — while building the skills that lead to lower scores.
