Golf Tips
Hey, want to shoot better golf?. You can't shoot well if you don't have a short game or if you have difficulty putting. If you practice at all, thats what you should practice on. Even if it's just putting around the house. Some of those greens can look like glass. If you can't make it to the range, and you have a backyard, get that wedge out. Those little exercises can make you more confident and help take off some of those strokes. When you do play, you shouldn't have any swing thoughts. But if you have too, limit it to one or two. Have a practice routine and stick to it. TRUST your swing, and shoot well. I try to think of this when I play - SOFT - See it, Own it, Feel it, Trust it. Along with these 7 F's: Frame of Mind, Focus, Feel, Firm, Finesse, Follow-through & Fun.
To the right are some suggestions that may improve your game. I use everything I mention here in my game. I think my game is pretty good and I practice as much as possible. This game can be frustrating, but doesn't necessarily have to be difficult. Keep your head in the present and you'll be that much closer to playing your best golf.

ETIQUETTE
One of the most frustrating things golfers come across are golfers who do not have consideration for other players. Etiquette is the basic necessity for playing a round of golf. Not only with your buddies, but with absolute strangers. Below is my list of typical behaviors to perform while playing your round. This list is not exhaustive, but at the very least will give you a sense of how to display yourself on every golf course * Play Ready Golf. Unless you are in a tournament, where honors goes first, if you are ready, tee it up and hit. * Do not stand behind the player who is teeing off. Watching a right-handed player tee off, your typical position on the tee box would be to stand to the side and to the right of the teebox area facing the green. * If you have to hit another ball from the teeing area because of a penalty, wait until everyone has hit before you tee it up again. * Your voices echo at golf courses. Yelling and screaming on the teebox can be heard everywhere, so keep the voices down. You can have a good time, without aggravating other players on the course. * Always mark your ball on the green when not putting or preparing to putt. * The farthest player should putt first. This player should finish putting as a rule of thumb, but not necessary. * Again, do not stand behind the player putting, or along any imaginary line from the player to the cup. * Fix yours and at least one other divot on the green * Do not walk on top of your playing partners potential ball line. Consider the break of the putt and don't walk there either. * Do not walk on on the green carrying your bag. That extra weight can transfer to the green and make subtle valleys. My tips or exercises change whenever I get a chance to update this page. I try to change it periodically. Keep checking back and shoot well! |
