Aim At The Hole

Too many beginning golfers spend lord knows how many minutes trying to line up their putts only to miss putt after putt after putt. The problem is over analysis and here’s what you can do to correct it. 95% of the time you should aim the golf ball right at the hole and spend your time trying to judge the downhill and uphill slope of the greens and the speed you’ll have to putt the ball with to get it in the hole. Most of the time when weekend golfers are trying to play a sideway slope they end up over compensating for it and miss horribly.

Don’t let that happen to you!

Aim straight for the hole and focus your time and energy on guessing the right speed you’ll need on your swing.

Imagine The Hole Is A One Foot By One Foot Square

Your goal here is to cut down on all your three putt holes by using one putt to get the ball within “tap in” distance. Obviously if you have a chance at the hole in one stroke then drain it but be honest with yourself. Use your one shot to get the ball within the “square” and then tap it in for a respectable two putt hole. Beats a three putt hole any day…

Visualize Yourself Sinking The Putt

Before I take my putt I see myself sinking the putt in my head. I try to trick my mind into thinking that I’ve already sank that putt before. In my head I try to focus on the speed of my swing and the pace the ball will need to fall into the hole. In my mind I’ve already gone over how far back my swing has to go and much of a follow through there will be.

Take A deep Breath Before You Putt

I actually do this before every swing but it really works to relax my swing and to calm me down. In my mind I try to focus on everything in  my swing that I’m trying to be cognizant of (you know what I’m talking about) and I take a smooth, confidant swing.

Count up your putting strikes next round and then practice these tips. See if you can reduce your putts by 9 in the next 3 months

Golf Tip – How To Improve Your Backswing

No comments »

One of the easiest things you can do to improve your golf game is fine tune your backswing. You’ll find many golf tips online about how you can improve your backswing but the best thing you can do is stick to the basics. This holds true for beginners and amateurs alike.

Mustering as much power and accuracy as possible while maintaining form and balance is the goal of every golfer that steps foots on a golf course. To be able to do this you have to be able to put all of your force into your swing without coming over the top of your swing.

Coming over the top describes a swing flaw which causes the clubhead to veer off to the outside of your target line during the downswing. The result is an atrocious slice.

You can avoid such a shot by learning how to avoid coming over the top and keeping your clubhead from moving outside of your target line. You can accomplish this by mentally focusing on coming at the ball from the inside

More accomplished golfers can do this each and every time they try, but coming at the ball from the inside may be easier said than done for the beginning golfer. Only through practice can you learn how to effectively swing from the inside but the result will be a perfect drive that parts the fairway down the middle!

There are certain drills that you can do to help you train your swing and one such drill is outlined below:

1. Take 3 tees and placed them into the turf approximately 3 to 4 inches apart from one another, and in a perfect line at a 45° angle with your target line. If you are a right-handed golfer then the line should be pointing to your left foot. Make sure that you have enough room in between each tee so that you can swing the club through.

2. Now it is time to find your swing path. Take out your 5-iron and initiate a few swings by attempting to hit the top portion of the middle tee. In order to do so, your clubhead must pass between the outside tees in a pathway best described as “in-to-out” in order to avoid contact with them.

By practicing this technique and hitting the middle tee in this fashion on a consistent basis, you are making contact correctly from the inside. If you happen to hit the outside tees then you are still coming over the top and need more practice on your swing.

Use A Golf Training Aid To Improve Your Golf Score

No comments »

It was not all that long ago that you couldn’t find much in the way of golf training aids to help you improve your golf game. About the only thing available was the little putting “toy” that could return the golf ball to you if you managed to get the ball into the “hole.” Today, things are quite different, and you can easily find any number of golf aids and high-tech training devices that can help sharpen your skills.

Another “old fashioned” approach to golf training was having another person, stopwatch in hand, to carefully watch your swing and keep a record of the progress being made. But today, one of the most popular golfing training aids combines a high speed camera and a computer. The camera feeds images into the computer, which quickly and easily analyzes and reports back any problems that are identified in your swing or stance. This feedback allows you to make corrections and try again, then just wait for a moment to see a new golf swing analysis on the changes you tried, which helps you to instantly see the progress you are making.

To check out the wide array of choices that you have these days in golf training aids, all you have to do is walk into a pro shop or a golfing equipment retailer. In order to get the best golf training aid for your needs, it is best to know what the weakest aspect of your game is, and then look for the section of golf aids that are designed to help with that problem.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to identify what bad habits you have acquired that might be holding you back and interfering with your game. Oftentimes, these can be very small and subtle things that are not easy to see in oneself and even golfing buddies can have trouble pinpointing the problem. This is when it can be very helpful to hire a golf pro and take a few golfing lessons. An experienced professional golf trainer can very rapidly notice where you are having the most difficulty and can make various suggestions for rectifying the problem.

Once you have that input from the golf instructor, who can also make suggestions about specific golf training equipment to help you correct the problem, it will be easier to go out and find the correct training aids that will help you improve your swing and lower your score. If you cannot find the right golfing accessories at your local pro shop, then you can look online where you will find an almost limitless selection of accessories, tools, equipment and videos that are perfectly designed for training and game improvement.

Butch Harmon, who is the well-respected and well-known coach of Tiger Woods, has recently come out with a golf trainer system that has quickly become one of the more popular golf training aids available. It is a golf training aid that incorporates two lasers, which are attached to the upper portion of the club. With the use of the lasers, the player is able to better see their golf swing plane. This device comes with complete instructions for use and additional tips for improving your game.
