Padraig Harrington suggests practice format for amateur golfers

Padraig Harrington recommends a modified scramble format for amateur golfers to improve their game. On June 16, 2026, during an appearance on the Life on Tour podcast, he explained that players should hit up to three shots from the same spot. Harrington believes this approach helps golfers break through performance plateaus and gain confidence in making birdies. His emphasis is on making practice enjoyable and accessible, stating that many tips do not require specialized equipment. Other golf figures, including Bryson DeChambeau, have also advocated for approaches aimed at enhancing scoring and reducing pressure for junior golfers.
