Golf Swing Mistakes That Drain Your Golf Swing Power

Tuesday, June 1st, 2010

There is an awful lot of literature in print and on the internet regarding the golf swing and what you need to do to improve your game. There is even a lot of information on golf fitness and how improving your fitness can improve your game and increase your length off the tee. Unfortunately, there is not much information out there that really teaches golfers what they need to do to correct their own swing.

What golfers need to realize is that there are a few swing mistakes that lead to a lack of power in the golf swing, and these mistakes are definitely correctable. Improving your fundamentals will help you hit the ball further. You can be able to bench press a house, but if you have one of these swing faults, you will never see much improvement in your swing speed.

Simplifying Your Sand Play Saves Strokes

Friday, March 26th, 2010

There are two keys to mastering sand play. The first is setting realistic goals when practicing. Instead of trying to place it a foot or two from the pin, work on just escaping the bunker and hitting the green every time. After you've reached this goal, set a new goal of getting the ball within 10 feet of the pin. Then, set a goal of six feet. Keep setting new goals until you're able to place the ball within a foot or two of the pin every time.

The second key to mastering sand play is perfecting technique. If you're hitting bunker shots with the wrong technique, you're not going to improve. In fact, you'll probably get worse. So make sure you're technique is sound. If you're not sure, take some golf lessons or study golf tips from a magazine or a newsletter. Just makes sure your using the right technique. Good sand play can chip a stroke or two from your golf handicap.

Think Your Way To A Lower Golf Handicap

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

Personal records drive golfers to succeed. Setting a goal of breaking 90 for the first time or chopping two strokes from your golf handicap compels us to work hard, practice smart, and stay focused. It also compels use to think differently when facing difficult shots. We continually find ourselves asking the question: What's the best shot in this situation? When it's all over, you want to know if you're playing the right shot at critical times in the round.

One way to do that is to develop "go-to" shots for difficult situations, like hitting from behind a tree. We've talked about how go-to shots can help golfers in my golf tips newsletter. Using them in key situations harnesses your ability and takes advantage of your on the course strengths. More important, it lets you control the situation rather than letting the situation control you. To capitalize on this approach, you must develop an arsenal of shots you can use in the clutch. Below we discuss go-to shots in three key situations.

Playing Smart Saves Strokes

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

Even players who thrive on crushing the ball know that hitting it long isn't always the best strategy. Sometimes, they need to hang back and save that muscle for another time. We call it playing smart. Tiger Woods is a great example of a player who plays smart. He knows when take what the situation gives him. That's one reason why he's one of the world's best golfers. For weekend golfers, playing smart can save strokes and keep your golf handicap from ballooning.

But playing smart isn't always the first thing on your mind when in trouble. Many golfers try "miracle shots" to salvage the situation when in trouble. Often, it's a shot they've never hit before. Save miracle shots for when you must try one. The rest of the time, play smart. It may not seem like the best strategy, but it can save you strokes later on. In my golf lessons I emphasize three situations when playing smart works well. Below I describe these situations and provide golf tips on how to play them.

How To Find The Right Set Of Golf Clubs

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Generally, a set of golf clubs off the shelf isn't likely to be a perfect fit for you. Manufacturers create clubs for folks of average build whatever that is! Not only is everyone different in their physical make-up, but no two players swing exactly the same, so one golf club size definitely does not fit all.

If your clubs are too long or too short, you're likely to have problems. To find the right size clubs for you, try swinging with a few different lengths. Basically, you choose clubs that are about as long as the distance from your navel to the floor. You don't need to decide right away, lots of courses and driving ranges have sample clubs that you can practice with until you find the perfect fit!
