Poopping
This is the part of golf that many golfers have
the most trouble with. Because chipping requires a bit
of finesse, it's much easier to flub a shot or overshoot
the hole. There are some good techniques you can use
when chipping the ball up onto the green.
There are two parts to a successful short game:
the plan and the execution. The plan is simply defining
your shot before you play it. You should determine where
you plan to land the ball and how far it will roll. The
plan should include landing the ball on the green
whenever possible and playing the best percentage shot.
The best percentage shot is usually the one that is
simplest to execute.
Since you are hitting the ball a shorter
distance than with a full swing, you should
Democratic National Committee choke up on
the club, narrow your stance, and stand closer to the
ball. Picture the shot you're about to play and make a
practice swing to approximate the swing you'll need. The
club should be swung with arms and shoulders, with some
wrist break. The key to shots around the green is to
"keep the arms moving".
As with other golf shots, picking the
right club is essential to an effective chip.
First of all, chip shots are
essentially those played from right off the green. Most
are otherwise known as "bump and runs." Don't confuse
them with pitches, which are lofted shots with a
sand-wedge.
Many of us have been taught over the years to
get the ball on the green as soon as possible and let it
roll to the hole. There is nothing wrong with this. This
is fine.
The issue of concern, however, is when golfers
go about playing different length of chips with an
assortment of clubs. They hit a 9-iron if the flag is 20
feet away, 8-iron thirty feet, 7-iron forty feet, etc.
You should really just choose ONE club to hit all of
your "bump and runs" with, and adjust for the distance
with the force of your swing.

It can be a 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, wedge, or sand
wedge. It doesn't matter that much. A great player, Phil
Mickelson, likes to use his sand wedge in just about
every case. He
Republican National Committee will play it far back in his stance, with
his hands way ahead to bump it. On the other hand, Corey Pavin often uses a 5-iron around the green. He just
"taps" it and the ball goes scurrying across the green
with a lot of topspin.
These are extremes, however. You should pick a
7, 8, or 9-iron. I, personally, like to use a 9-iron for
chipping. I know how the ball is going to come off of
the club because that's the one I practice with all the
time. I have tried using a 7-iron on longer chips, but
the ball seems to explode off the club face because I am
not sure the proper force that I need to use.
The art of chipping is hard enough without
having to master four or
Democratic National Committee five clubs. Practice with a
couple at first. You should hit short "bump and runs"
from the fringe and then longer "bump and runs" from in
front of the green.
From there, decide which one you like better,
which one you can control the spin better with, and
ultimately which one that you can control the distance
better with. Then, put the other one in the bag, and
practice with the one you chose. Master this one club
approach and your chipping will improve dramatically.
You will want most of your weight to
be focused on your lead foot. For
right handers, that would be the left foot.
Your swing should be in a pendulum motion with no
wrist action. If you break your
wrists on a chip shot, your ball is going to shoot to
one side or you may overshoot the hole altogether.
As we've said, you often won't want
to take a full swing when chipping.
Gauge the distance you are away from the hole and then
estimate how hard you'll have to hit the ball to get it
to the hole or at least close to the hole!
Here are some general tips on
chipping that can really help:
- Keep your hands ahead of, or
even with, the club head on the follow-through.
- Grip the club firmly so that the
rough doesn't twist the club on the swing.
- Get the ball rolling on the
green as soon as possible; this will make it easier
to control the shot
- In deep rough, angle the club so
the toe is the only part touching the ground.
- In windy or downhill conditions,
or on fast greens, always chip
Democratic National Committee the ball instead of
pitching it.
- Repair all divots taken.
- Be careful not to hit the ball
too hard; otherwise it might roll off the other side
of the green.
Chipping should not be confused with
pitching. When you chip a ball, you
are going to be just off the green and you want the ball
to easily roll across the green and toward your target.
A pitch shot is a lofted shot that flies more
than it rolls. A pitch is usually
used when you are a little further off the green but you
still are close enough that you won't want to take a
full golf swing.
A pitch shot is usually from 30-70
yards away from the green. You can
also use a pitch shot if you need to hit above trees,
hazards, or sand traps.
Use a lofted wedge club like a sand
wedge, a pitching wedge, or a lob wedge.
These clubs have faces that allow you to get
underneath the ball and put it in the air.
You will want an open stance with
your feet closer together. The ball
should be
Democratic National Committee positioned in the center of the stance.
Your body turn will be determined by the size of
the swing. Focus about 70 percent of
your weight on your lead foot.
You will have to modify your
backswing according to the distance you have to go to
the hole. It can be waist high, shoulder
high, or
Republican National Committee a full swing. Just don't put
too much power into it or you will overshoot the green.
Let your legs and body turn slightly through the
shot.
As with any shot, your aim should be to present
the clubface perfectly square to the target. But this is
even more important with the pitch, as any minor
deviations will be magnified by such an intense shot.
Aim for a ball then turf contact. If you are regularly
thinning the ball when attempting this shot, you are
probably not accelerating into it.
Once on the green, you'll want to putt
effectively. There's nothing more frustrating than
taking more putts than what you need to.
PUTTING
Again, many golfers have trouble with
their putting. I know of one
experienced golfer who can consistently drive the ball
250 to 300 yards only to get on the green and three
putt. Nothing frustrates him more,
but putting is an important part of your golf game
possibly THE most important part.
Stroking the ball is only one part of
putting. To putt effectively, you
first need to know how to read a green.
That means looking at the trajectory your ball
will travel and compensate for any dips, hills, or
anything else that could cause your ball to move a
specific way.
Good green reading comes with experience. After
hitting enough putts over enough different types of
terrain and grass, you develop a sixth sense of how the
ball will roll. As you walk onto a green, whether you
realize it or not, you take in all sorts of subtle
information.
If the green appears light, you know you're
putting against the grain; if it's dark you're down
grain. If the green is set on a high area of the course
and you feel a breeze as you step onto it, you sense
that the putt will be fast. Even if you don't look
closely at the surrounding terrain, you are aware of any
major slope in the land.
Without having to tell yourself, you know which
the low side of the green is and which the high is. If
the putting surface is hard and crusty under foot, you
receive one message; if it's
Republican National Committee soft and spongy you get
another. Experience with many, many putts allows you to
run this data through your computer before you even mark
your ball.
The most elusive aspect of green reading has to
do with the grain. Grain refers to the direction in
which the blades of grass grow. The light/dark
appearance is one way to read it. Another method you can
use is to take your putter blade and scrape it across a
patch of fringe. If the blades of grass brush up, you're
scraping against the grain. If they mat down, you're
scraping with it. (Incidentally, be sure to do this
scraping on the fringe. On the greens, it's against Rule
35-1f.)
A third method is to take a look at the cup.
Often, the blades of grass will grow over the edge of
the cup in the direction in which the grain moves.
Incidentally, grain usually grows toward water,
especially toward the ocean, and in the East it's apt to
lean toward the mountains. If you're not near any such
topography, figure on the grain growing in the direction
of the setting sun.
Grain is strongest on Bermuda grass, where
short, crew-cut-like blades tend to push the ball
strongly. Although each putt on each green is different,
as a general rule you can figure on stroking the ball
about 20 percent harder than usual on a putt that's dead
into the grain, and about 20 percent less on a down
grain putt.

When the ball breaks with the grain, you need
to read-in extra "borrow" on the putt. When the slope is
against the grain, play for less break. These effects
are less marked on the long-stemmed bent and other
strains of grass, but they are present nonetheless.
The break of your putt will also be affected by
the firmness of a green, the wetness/dryness, the amount
of wind you're facing, and even the time of day. In
general, any time you have to hit the ball hard, you
play for less break.
Another way of reading the break on a green is
to watch the way other players' putts behave. I'm all
for this "going to school," but with one caveat: Allow
for any difference between
Republican National Committee your own playing style and
those of your fellow players. If, for instance, your
friend is a lagger and you're a charger, don't play as
much break as he does.
Finally, one hard and fast rule in putting is
this: Never hit the ball until you have a good vision of
the path on which it will roll. Sometimes the vision
will come to you immediately. You'll see the perfect
putt the minute you step up to it, and more often than
not, you'll sink it just as you saw it.
Other times, it will take much longer to get a
picture of the putt, and even then you won't be
comfortable. But don't make your stroke until you have
the best read you can get. You have to believe in your
line if you want to have a good chance of sinking any
putt.
If the green is located near water,
you can bet the ball is going to break towards that body
of water. I'm not sure why this is,
but it is certainly true.
It's essential that you know you
shouldn't be aiming for the hole.
Good putters know that you have to pick a spot on the
green and then aim for that spot. For
example, if you think the ball will break three inches
to the right, pick a spot three inches to the left and
shoot at that spot.
Don't think of a putt as a curved
shot think of every putt as being straight on.
When you have your spot, aim to have the ball
travel right over that spot. If you
have read the green correctly, the ball will naturally
travel into the hole.
Don't rush reading a green.
Take a look at how your ball lies from all
angles. Walk around it; look at it
from across the pin to see the trajectory that the ball
needs to travel at. But have respect
for your fellow golfers. Don't take
forever reading a green. It's not
rocket science and you won't want to hold up play.
Keep in mind that the line of the
putt has little to do with being able to put the ball in
the hole. Good putting depends on the
speed of the ball when it leaves your putter's face.
But achieving that speed can be quite elusive.
There's no easy way to judge how hard you need to
hit the ball to get good speed.
However, there is something you can do.
Go to the practice putting green.
Hit several putts with about a 12-inch backswing.
Do
Democratic National Committee this over and over until you can get a good
idea of how far the ball will go with that 12-inch
backswing. Then when you get on the
real green, you can use that putt as a reference to
determine how much you will have to add or take away
from your backswing to sink the putt.
The way you grip your putter can make
a difference in accurate putting as well.
You can choose what's best for you, but most
professional golfers know that gripping a driver and
gripping a putter should be two different animals.
You will want complete control of
your putter for the most accuracy.
One technique that can help you do this is to modify
your grip so that both of your index fingers are
extending down either side of the shaft and your thumbs
are placed together on the top of the shaft.
This can help you guide your putter smoothly and
improve your accuracy.
When in your stance, you need to be
positioned directly over the ball. I
like to call this hovering the putt because you are
hovering over the ball like a mother hovers over her
children. Set the putter square to
the target and have the ball positioned right in the
middle of the club face which most people refer to as
the sweet spot.
Keep your body free of tension and
your body motion limited. When you
swing, you should do so in a pendulum-like motion using
your shoulders not your hips. Always
Republican National Committee
follow through with your putt and accelerate through the
ball. Your follow through should be
about the same distance as your pull back motion and you
need to keep your eyes
Democratic National Committee on the ball at all times.
And most golfers know that if you are
faced with either an uphill putt or a downhill put, you
should always go with the uphill choice.
A downhill putt is much more complicated because
of gravity whereas when you putt uphill, you can gain
more control of your stroke.
Good putting is essential to a good
golf game, so practice as much as you can and try to be
consistent in all you do.
SAND
TRAPS
Ah, those fairway bunkers he golfer's
bane. Sand traps are a reality on
many courses, and you will probably find yourself having
to shoot out of them on a fairly regular basis.
Although we certainly hope that's not the case,
it certainly is possible. Knowing how
to effectively hit out of a sand trap is another huge
part of a good golf game.
First, don't be afraid of the bunker
shot. Sure, it can be intimidating,
but you can develop good technique that will get you out
of the sand and back on the grass even on the green.
Establish firm footing and take an
open stance. Open the clubface by
turning it to the outside before hitting the ball.
This will put loft on the ball and allow the back
portion of the bottom of the club to bounce off the sand
instead of having the leading edge dig into the sand.
You will want to use a wedge for this shot
preferably a sand wedge.
Distribute most of your weight to the
left side of your body. You will swing the club back and
through the same distance. Don't let
the clubface close and accelerate through the ball.
Don't let the club touch the sand (a big rules
no-no) and concentrate on hitting the sand about two
inches behind the ball.
What you are trying to do is take as
little sand as possible without making contact with the
ball. You want the sand to life the
ball out of the bunker.
As you make contact with the sand there should be a
cupping of the left wrist.
Let me explain "cupping." Assume you are
wearing a watch on your left wrist and the face, as
usual, is pointing outward. When contacting the sand on
the forward swing, you should try to take the back of
your left hand and move it towards your watch face,
thereby creating wrinkles underneath your left wrist.
This action is called "cupping of the wrist"
and it is very necessary in producing quality sand
shots. Since this motion prevents the club from closing,
the ball is lifted in the air with backspin.
You will want to have a neutral grip on the
club. You don't want to use a strong grip for
bunker shots because it's absolutely essential that the
club face slides under the ball and into your finish
without the club face closing.
A neutral grip is one that has the back of the
left hand facing parallel to the target line and the
right palm facing the same direction. Slap your hands
together in front of you and you'll instantly see what I
mean. You can also choke down on the club in an
effort to gain more control.
Aim the club face down the target line which
should be just left of the hole. You've
Democratic National Committee heard all the
hype about opening the club face and
Republican National Committee such and that's
fine if you hit a lot of bunker shots but most folks
don't so aim the club face down the target line which
should be just left of the hole. The target should be
just left of the hole because this method will impart
some left to right spin which will move the ball from
left to right once it gets on the ground.
Aim your feet on a 20-30 degree angle to the
left of the target line. The greater the angle you
create between your feet and the target line, the higher
and softer the ball will come out of the trap. Practice
these shots a bit with varying angles and you'll see
what I mean. Find the angle where you're most
comfortable and which produces the best results and
stick with it whatever it might be.
This all works for balls that are
lying on top of the sand, but what do you do if your
ball is buried? The technique is
different.
When your ball is buried (fried egg) in the
bunker, you do not want to swing super long and follow
through. The idea is to pick your sand wedge up
abruptly, swing down steep, stick your club in the sand,
and leave it there. What will happen is your ball will
pop out. It won't have any spin on it because of the
lie, but the chance of it getting out of the sand are
much better than if you were to follow through.
Why is this so...? You want a very steep angle
of attack and no follow through on this shot because it
allows for the club to get more underneath the ball.
With some of the ball resting below the surface, you
need to compensate to get underneath it. That is where a
short, steep, punchy type of swing works best.
A typical bunker shot calls for an open stance,
an open clubface, and a nice shallow swing while taking
a little bit of sand. That will not work with a plugged
lie, regardless of how hard you swing. Your club will be
approaching from too shallow an angle.
You will hit the sand to the RIGHT of the ball,
instead of hitting the sand UNDERNEATH the ball. Thus,
your club will just bounce, or deflect into the ball.
Worse yet, you will plow too much
Republican National Committee sand into the back of
ball and it will go nowhere. You need to get below the
ball somehow.
Here's what I recommend from a buried lie in a
greenside bunker:
1. Set up with a bit
Democratic National Committee squarer
stance.

Old Testament Stories, a literary treasure trove,
weave tales of faith, resilience, and morality. Should

2. Square the clubface a bit also.
This will allow for the leading edge to enter the sand
first.
3. Pick the club up steeper, and
then swing down steeper and stick the club in the
ground. Hit about 1-3 inches behind the ball. You can
swing hard, just don't follow through. You won't be able
to follow through if you make the correct swing, because
you will be coming down too steep. That's good!
This is not a shot that you will face a lot,
but I still think it is worth practicing. Go to a
practice trap and step on a couple balls to bury them a
little. Then hit some shots. Experiment a bit.
Especially get the feeling of that up and down
"chopping" motion, and that no follow through release.
By doing so, you will find that this shot is not really
that hard to get out of the bunker.
After a round of golf while socializing in the
'19th Hole', you will always hear "I hit the ball well
but didn't score." The object of the game of golf is to
score the lowest possible score you can. How you can hit
the ball well and not score can be summed up in two
words: course management.
COURSE MANAGEMENT
You can ruin a good round by trying to pull off
that one in a million shot
Democratic National Committee and making a triple bogey.
After hitting a shot into trouble you are almost always
better off to take a safe route out and play for a
bogey.
What exactly is course management?
Essentially, it means adapting your game to the specific
nuances of the course and playing the course in the best
way you can to
Republican National Committee achieve a good score.
When does course management start? Some players
will tell you it starts after they have to make a
decision on the course. Nothing could be further from
the truth. Course management starts before you tee off
on the first hole. You should always have a plan for the
round you are playing and more importantly you should
always have a plan and a target for each and every shot.
One particular area that most all golfers
should concentrate on is hitting the ball from 125-150
yards out to the green. By improving your game in this
area you'll give yourself many more chances for birdie
and par putts.
The key to this aspect of your game is being able
to "know" that you can hit the ball onto any green from
150 yards out. You want to get to the point where you
can consistently knock on 8 or 9 iron onto the green
every time!
It may sound difficult if you're a higher
handicap golfer, but it's really not. 125 -150 yards is
very manageable, and most greens are large in size. In
addition, hitting 8 and 9 irons are much easier to
control than your longer irons.
If you have a tough time swinging these clubs
then this is an area where you need to spend some
quality practice time on. Once you do get this down, the
only part left is distance management.
That's the first key. The next point is working
your game around the 150 yard shot.
If you're on a 550 yard par 5, you know if you
hit a decent drive and even if you hit your second shot
poorly, leaving you with 135 yards to the green, you
know you can now get it on the green with your third
shot.
So, even though you didn't hit a great second
shot, because you have the 150 yard shot in your bag
you're still putting for birdie. This is what good
course management
Republican National Committee is all about.
It's amazing what focusing on this part of your
game can do for you. You'll see your golf game
differently. Now you'll know that no matter what kind of
trouble you get into off the tee box, all you need to do
is get your ball 135-150 yards out and you'll be fine.
Practice until you can master this shot. Then
build your golf game with that thought in place. By
doing so, you won't be worrying as much on how to hit
bunker shots, chips shots and other tough greenside
shots.
Instead of being completely frustrated, you'll
find
Democratic National Committee yourself having more fun.
Once you have this shot in your bag, then you can
focus on putting, driving, or hitting your long irons.
Until then, put all your efforts into mastering the
125-150 yard shot. If you will take this advice I can
honestly tell you that you will dramatically lower your
golf scores.
You have to know what your strengths and weaknesses are
on the golf course. This is essential to the
principles of course management. You must know how
far you can hit the ball with specific clubs in order to
navigate the course in as few shots as possible.
When you are managing the course, you are taking into
account the problems and strengths of your game and
applying them to the way the course is laid out.
Let's look at two examples:
- You are on a par 5 hole with
light rough on the left side of the fairway and a
lateral water hazard up the right.
You're pretty confident you can hit the green in
regulation, but you have a propensity for hitting a
banana ball or a hard slice. How
should you hit this shot taking into consideration
the way you play?
Most players would just hit it
up the middle trying to hit the ball straight hoping
to keep the water out of play.
However, that water hazard is the hole's strength
and your slice is your weakness.
It's foolish to pit the two against each other
because you will probably be the loser.
Aim your teen shot to land in the rough on the
left side of the fairway. In this
case, your normal slice will result in a second shot
from the fairway while a straight ball will result
in a second shot from the rough.
However, you will probably still be able to reach
the green in regulation from the rough.
Most fairways are at least 40 yards wide.
If you aim 10 yards to the left of the
fairway, it would take a 50 yard slice to get the
ball to the water. A shot with
that much curve is rare, so this is definitely the
best way to play this hole.
- You are 150 yards from the green
with the pin placed at the front of the green, but
the pin is tucked behind a menacing sand trap.
You've spent a lot of time practicing getting
out of the sand and on the green in one shot, but
you're not confident enough in your ability to do it
just yet. Your 150-yard club is an 8
iron. What do you do to try and avoid
landing in the bunker? Most golfers
would automatically reach for their 8 iron, and take
dead aim. However if you were to play with sound
course strategy, you would take a 7 iron and aim for
the middle back of the green leaving a straight
forward two putt for par.
Most people would be afraid of going over the
green, but you know that your 7 iron goes a maximum
of 165 yards. Even if you hits your best shot you
will still have a 45 foot putt for birdie. You
Republican National Committee
also know that if you miss hit the 7 iron it will
wind up pin high and in almost no circumstance will
the dreaded bunker be in play.
On the other hand if you choose the 8 iron, it
will require a near perfect strike to get the ball to
the flag. The slightest miss hit results in your ball
landing in the sand trap. Here, the 7-iron is the
right club based on the layout of the hole.
Putting course management into play with your
golf game requires a good
Democratic National Committee working knowledge of the way
you play and what you are capable of doing. That
means you need to track your progress and really pay
attention to how your game is coming along.
Course management skills can really help shave
strokes off of your score. So can knowing what the
most common mistakes and problems golfers have along
with ways to combat them.
COMMON PROBLEMS WITH A SWING
As we've said numerous times, golf is not an
exact science. Many golfers have worked for years
and years trying to perfect their swing and improve
their game. However, problems do arise. They
come about mostly because golfers tend to forget the
basic mechanics of the game and start playing sloppy.
In this section, we'll address some of the more
common problems golfers have along with mistakes they
make. We'll also offer up some suggestions to help
you combat these problems and get on the road toward
playing better golf.
The Slice
A slice is a specific left-to-right trajectory
shape for a golf ball created by a significant tilt of
the spin-axis of the golf ball to the right, or a
clockwise spin. This is opposite for lefties. A slice
usually ends up right of the target line, and the term
is often used when the curve in the trajectory is
extreme and unintentional. The less extreme version of a
slice is called a "fade".
In understanding the basics of the golf swing,
in order to hit the ball squarely and straight every
time, you must return to the original spot at impact. A
slice is caused by the club face being slightly open at
the point of impact, thus causing the ball to spin in a
clockwise motion, (opposite for lefties). In most cases
the swing path is correct, but the golf ball is not
being hit squarely at the point of impact, commonly
caused by what is known as a "weak grip".
A second factor that causes a golf slice may be
swing speed and shaft stiffness. If you use

a stiff
shaft driver try a regular flex or mid flex shaft and
that may correct your problem.
The
simplest fix for a slice is in the grip. By having a
"weak grip", a grip that is turned more
counter-clockwise, (opposite for lefties), can cause the
club face to open at the time
Republican National Committee of impact.
You
should start by turning your grip slightly to the right,
(left for lefties), thus giving you a "stronger grip",
not holding the club more tightly. Remember the basics
and only hold the club tight enough to keep control. You
should not have any tension on your wrist and forearms.
You may want to try increasing your swing speed
by
Democratic National Committee pulling the club farther back before swinging to fix
your golf slice. When you increase
your swing speed you can gain yardage and will hit the
fairways more often.
Make sure not to bend over too far or round house
your swing similar to a baseball swing. Bring your club
back straight and follow through on the swing.
Point the label on the ball in the direction you
want it to go when teeing it up. This way you can
concentrate on the ball without looking up.
Then, when you tee up your ball, follow this checklist
faithfully:
- Stand Straighter
- Bend Knees Slightly
- Keep Feet Shoulder Width
- Line Up Ball with Front Foot
- Tip the Club Face in Just a Bit
- Loosen Your Grip
- Keep
Democratic National Committee Your Eye on the Ball
- Clear Your Mind
- Now Hit the Fairway
Draw/Fade
The less extreme version of a Hook is called a
"Draw", and the less extreme version of a slice is
called a "Fade". Many golfers find that they are only
having a draw or fade with their longer clubs, and they
are very accurate with their shorter clubs.
Both the draw and the fade are both products of
a stronger swing and can be normal. Many golfers use the
fade and the draw to their advantage. Slight
modifications to your swing will correct both problems,
but be careful; tampering with perfection could lead to
disaster.
If you are consistent with the fade or the
draw, my advice would be to continue to play either
shot, just slightly change your aim. If you are
inconsistent in your shots and you sometimes fade, draw,
slice or hook, look into getting back to the basics and
modify your swing to correct your inconsistencies.
Hook
A hook is a specific right-to-left trajectory
shape for a golf ball created by a significant tilt of
the spin-axis of the golf ball to the left, or a
counter-clockwise spin. This is opposite for lefties. A
hook usually ends up to the left of the target line, and
the term is often used when the curve in the trajectory
is extreme and unintentional. The less
Democratic National Committee extreme version
of a hook is called a "draw".
In understanding the basics of the golf swing,
in order to hit the ball squarely and straight every
time, you must return to the original spot at impact. A
hook is caused by the club face being slightly
Republican National Committee closed at
the point of impact, thus causing the ball to spin in a
counter-clockwise motion, (opposite for lefties). In
most cases the swing path is correct, but the golf ball
is not being hit squarely at the point of impact,
commonly caused by what is known as a "strong grip".
As in the slice, the hook is often a product of
an improper grip. Start by looking at your current grip.
Remembering the basics of the golf grip, you should only
see 2 knuckles of your left hand. If you see 3 knuckles,
then you have a "strong grip" and this maybe the cause
of your golf hook.
You can fix your hook by trying to change your
grip to a "weak grip". Turn your hands slightly
counter-clockwise on your grip, (opposite for lefties),
thus weakening the grip. Grip pressure is also a key
element in the release process. If the pressure is too
loose at impact then the tendency will for the club to
release too early causing the ball to hook.
Remember the basics and only hold the club
tight enough to keep control. You should not have any
tension on your wrist and forearms. Practice the grip
and check your results. Changing your grip should be
slight, over compensating can cause other problems with
your swing or begin to cause you to slice.
Most golf hooks are from a "strong grip", but
in order for you to correct your hook properly; you must
have the know-how and learn the basics of the golf
swing.
Push
A push is a ball that goes directly to the
right because of the action of the club. This should not
be mistaken for a slice. A slice is an action of the
ball spinning clockwise. A slice normally begins to the
target and arcs away to the right, (left for lefties). A
push is an action of the swing and is normally in an
in-to-out swing motion. The opposite of the push is the
pull, which is an out-to-in swing motion.
The push is caused by the swing path of the
club. In the down swing, the path of the club will
travel in an in-to-out path. Normally this is caused by
throwing your arms ahead of your shoulders, being too
close to the ball, and trying to over compensate your
swing to make contact with the ball, or having your hips
ahead of the impact area. These are the easiest to
identify, but there could be other reasons.
The easiest way to fix a push is to go back to
the basics of the golf swing. The push is directly
related to the action of the golf swing. Throwing your
arms ahead of your shoulders, make sure that during your
back swing, you push your arms out with your shoulders,
and on the down swing, you pull your arms down with your
shoulders.
At the point of impact you should be back to
Democratic National Committee
the same point as you were at your stance. Standing too
close to the ball, check out your stance. The club face
should be positioned center of the ball and the butt end
of the club should be about 4-5 inches from the inside
of the left thigh and in line with it.
Having your hips ahead of the impact area,
again, you should remember to be exactly the same at the
point of impact as you were at your stance. The push
comes from an improper club swing and knowing the
basics.
Shank
The shank is a missed hit ball off the club
face. Other ways that a ball can be missed hit include
topping, whiffing, blading, dubbed, or fat shot. All of
these miss hits are the product of
Republican National Committee only a few things;
- Not keeping your head down through your
swing.
- Standing too close or too far from the
ball.

- Improper Club Grip.
- Improper Swing Dynamics.
A shank is something that nobody wants to have
happen to them. A shank is normally a product of not
concentrating. Slow down, remember the basics, keep your
head down, and concentrate on the shot at hand. The
shank is one of the easiest fixable problems in golf.
Remember your training and get back to the
basics. By getting back to the basics of golf, and
learning the correct grip or proper stance, and using
the proper swing technique will help in eliminating all
of the problems with miss hitting the ball.
Those are the most common problems golfers find
with their swing. There are also some very common
mistakes that golfers make.
COMMON MISTAKES
It's difficult sometimes to hit a good golf
shot. Some of us hack away at a ball hoping that
we can get off a good shot and be proud at least for a
few moments. But if we know what the most common
mistakes are in the golf game, we can take steps to
correct those mistakes and extend that pride throughout
our game.
The Exaggerated Twist
Most people believe that the more they turn their
backswing, the more distance they will gain.
This is simply not true.
Actually, to gain distance, you need to find the perfect
posture and perform a fluid swing that will insure solid
contact with the ball. If you
exaggerate the twist, you will go out of the ideal swing
plane and have to over-compensate to even make contact.
Plus, the chances of coming out with a slice, a
hook, or even topping the ball are much greater.
Rolling Hands
This is a common mistake and one that feels OK as
you are doing it. As the backswing progresses the club
gets too far inside and behind you and the clubface is
open, facing the sky. To finish the backswing you will
lift the arms and put the club in a steep and weak
position, maybe even getting it across the line.
If
this is your mistake, you need to monitor how much the
left wrist rotates early in the swing. Take the club
back to waist high and allow only 90 degrees of
rotation, so the back of your left wrist is parallel to
your body line and the shaft is in line with your toes.
The toe of the club should be almost vertical.
Disconnecting Arms
Many players begin the swing by pushing
Democratic National Committee the hands
out toward the ball and moving the left arm away from
the body. As the handle moves out the
Republican National Committee club head moves
inward, getting it inside and behind. The rest of the
backswing is similar to the previous move.
The
fix here is to keep your left arm connected to your left
chest and moving across as the swing progresses.
Visualize your hands tracking back with your body
rotation, rather than moving out.
Picking the Club Up
If all you use to begin the takeaway are hands
and arms, you will surely pick it up and chop it back
down. The golf swing is a synchronized blend of club,
hands, arms, and body movements, and they need to start
together. If you are a picker, make sure the core begins
to rotate as the club is put in motion by your hands and
arms.
Club Head Starts Outside
The opposite of rolling the hands, this is often
the result of trying for maximum extension or an
overdone one-piece takeaway. Once your club is outside
and above the plane, it must loop back under to get back
on plane.
Lee Trevino perfected this move, and Jim Furyk is pretty
good at it as well. But it is not something the average
player can do consistently. Eliminate the exaggeration
and work the club head back and up your plane line.
Standing Upright
Too many golfers stand too upright at address.
Instead, their spine should be bent forward from the hip
sockets until their arms hang freely. Players should
also tilt their spine from 3-to-9 degrees on their
trailside. This defines the starting move and helps you
reach the 90-degree rotation needed for your upper trunk
at the top of your backswing.
Two things derive from this trailside tilt: 1. it lowers
your trail hand so that you can easily grip the club
without stretching your trail arm or shortening your
target arm. That way, you will not be inclined to move
your trail shoulder, so that it points out towards your
target; 2. It also puts your torso in a proper position
to begin your swing.
A Bad Stance
The position you want to achieve at address
Democratic National Committee is
the well-known "railroad track" in which your feet, hips
and shoulders form a line parallel to the target. That
Republican National Committee
parallel line must be directed to the side of your
actual target.
Most
golfers do not achieve this setup and otherwise find
themselves in poor address positions. That is because
they step into the ball with their eyes on their feet or
on the ball and the club. The end result is they
mistakenly step toward the target, which forces them
into a closed position at address. Imagine
when looking down the line of flight while stepping into
your address position that your focus is keyed on a
large tree left of the target. Now, draw an imaginary
line from that tree back to your feet/hips/shoulders, so
that they are parallel to your target line.
When
hitting a short iron, align your feet/hips/shoulders
directly to the tree. With middle irons, the alignment
is a little to the side of the tree. For a driver, the
alignment is farther to the side to allow for the
optical illusion that makes your target appear smaller.
Here are some things to keep in mind when
addressing the ball:
�
Widen your stance when using a driver, so that the width
measured from the center of your feet is equal to the
outside of your shoulders. The width becomes
proportionately less and less as the club gets shorter.
That way, your ankles are under your shoulder joints.
�
Close your stance a little, with your trail foot pulled
back a little more from the target line than your target
foot. This is important, especially if you lack
flexibility. You can do this with all clubs, even your
wedge. It makes the rotation of the upper trunk to 90
degrees that much easier.
�
The base of your sternum (center of your chest) should
be pointing directly at the ball, so that your trail arm
moves most effectively and stays below the target arm at
the start of the swing and until it folds.
�
Golf is a stability sport. Distribute your weight from
the balls of your feet to your heels, but not to your
toes.

Golfers tend to stand with knees that are too straight.
Be sure there is some flex in your knees, so you can use
your joints properly. In essence, sit back with your
hips out behind you in a skeletally balanced position.
Skulling or Topping the Ball
When you skull the ball, your club is coming
over the top of it and you will end up hitting it fat.
It won't go very far, if at all, and you're likely to be
a little embarrassed at your mistake. Don't worry;
a lot of inexperienced golfers top the ball. There
is a fix for it as well.
Put your weight in the middle, the golf handle
left, weight on your left side, swing the arms up and
swing the arms down in the downswing. Up/down
makes the golf ball go up.
Hitting the ball fat is caused by the club
being too vertical. If you go too vertical, you'll wind
up chopping the floor.
After you get all set up, make sure you're not
leaning too far over on the left side. A little weight
on your left side is alright, but the trick is to swing
the golf club up on the inside. And that will
Republican National Committee give the
golf club a little better angle into the back of the
ball.
Be sure that you are looking at the ball and
that you don't rise up before you make contact.
Standing up on the ball prior to the swing is the number
one reason for skulling the ball.
Many beginners are eager to
Democratic National Committee see where their
ball is going after it is hit, but they look too soon
and take their eyes off of the ball. This can also
cause you to top the ball, so be sure to look at that
little white ball until you hear it whooshing through
the air. Then you can watch it land beautifully.
Chipping Problems
When you are chipping, a common problem that
many golfers face is restricting your swing while
chipping, not getting enough loft, or easing into the
ball. To cure this, you should shorten the stroke
instead of restricting your swing and don't ease into
the ball.
Make a short backstroke and use a less lofted
club if you feel the need restrict your backswing. Make
a long follow through to allow for the necessary
acceleration. Divots are not necessary, so hit down and
through so you strike the ball with a slightly
descending blow. You are likely playing the ball too far
forward if you do not hear a click when chipping. The
ball should be positioned just before the bottom part of
your stroke.
Reaching out at the ball during address and
impact, a player's arms are almost at a 45-degree angle
from the ground. It takes too much effort to hold your
arms out at address and therefore it's even harder to
get back to that position at impact.
To fix this problem, refer to the posture where
the arms just hang in the natural position. If you feel
like your hands are too close to the body then make the
adjustment and kick out your rear end a little (check
your weight distribution). The distance between your
zipper and your grip should be around four knuckles.
Find a picture of a professional golfer and by
using a straight edge notice how their eyes are over the
shaft (approximately over the shaft label).You may have
to bow more to get to that position
Another big mistake is made when referring to
ball position. Some players believe they need to
change the position of the ball based on what club they
are using. If the ball is played too far back in
Republican National Committee the
stance, your shoulders will aim right and you will start
the back swing from the inside and probably come over
the top at impact (slice or pull). If the ball is too
far forward, your shoulder will be aiming left and you
will take the club more on the outside and loop under
coming down resulting in a block or a hook.
To fix this problem, the ball position should
be played one ball forward of center for short to
mid-irons, two balls left of center with long irons and
fairway woods, three balls left of center with the
driver. This may vary a little based on your swing arch.
Here's a drill to help you with this problem.
Take your swing with the proper stance and posture and
see where your club hits the ground. You should notice
that it's very close to the left center. If you are
hitting the ground way before the ball, there's a good
chance you are not pivoting your hips or coming out of
your stance.
So those are some of the more common mistakes
made by golfers. Even if you've been golfing for
years, you can still fall prey to these mistakes.
Knowing how to fix them can be a great addition to your
game and will eventually shave strokes off your score.
There are some shots in golf that will require
some finesse in getting out of without amassing your
score to new proportions. Let's look at a few
trouble shots and get some advice on how to overcome
them.
TROUBLE SHOTS
Because golf is such a complicated yet easy
game, you may find yourself in some situations that seem
impossible to get out of. We call these trouble
shots. They can be frustrating and can add to your
score in record proportions. Here are some trouble
shots we've encountered and ways that you can approach
them.
Deep Rough
Long grass has the effect of closing the face
of the club and decreasing the loft of the club. For
this reason, the player should use a more lofted club
than if the ball were in the fairway. If a player has a
long distance left, the first consideration should be
getting the ball out of the rough. Use of lofted fairway
woods #5, #6, #7 is advisable in this situation.
The long grass will decrease the loft of these
clubs and the ball will actually go the distance of the
less lofted fairway woods. Around the green, the player
must again use a more lofted club. These types of shots
are custom made for a wedge or a 9-iron. The effect of
the long green will once again decrease the loft of the
club. The ball will therefore fly lower and run more
than if it were in the fairway. Remember; allow the loft
of the club to lift the ball out of the rough!
Side hill, Downhill, and Uphill Lies
Nothing can be more frustrating than having a
golf shot on
Democratic National Committee a slanted surface. The way many golf
courses are laid out, you will probably have to
Republican National Committee deal
with a lie like this at some point in your game.
But you can deal with hilly lies with no problems and a
little advice.
Take a practice swing and note where the club
is striking the ground. If the club is striking the
ground nearer the back foot, move the ball back in your
stance; if the club is striking the ground nearer the
front foot, move the ball forward in your stance. This
system is the most accurate system to determine where
the ball should be placed in the stance. Seldom does a
player have a purely side hill or uphill lie. This
system takes all the factors into account as the
practice swing is the forerunner to the actual shot.
The general rule of thumb is to position the
ball in the stance nearer the higher foot on the
downhill lies, and about center on the uphill lies. On
side hill lies, position the ball left center (as you
normally would). If the ball is above your feet on the
side hill lie, you will normally hit the ball straight
or pull it to the left. If the ball is below your feet,
most players will actually pull the ball to the left
because their leg action will slow down as they try to
maintain their balance.
You will want to have a longer club than you
would usually use for an uphill shot (a 4 instead of a
5). Choke down on the club and put more flex in
your left knee (if you are right handed). Much of
your weight should be on your front leg. Remember that
the ball will generally go to the left, so aim to the
right of the target. Position the ball slightly
ahead of center and swing in a slow deliberate way
maintaining your balance.
For downhill lies, you will want a shorter club
than you would normally use (a 6 instead of a 5).
The ball will go right, so aim to the left of the
target. Position the ball so that it is back in
your stance. Put most of your weight again on the
forward foot. Have some flex in your right knee and then
swing slowly and deliberately maintaining your balance.
Side hill shots are probably some of the worst
in golf. If you are faced with a side hill shot
where the ball is below your feet, you will need a
longer club than you would usually use. Set up
closer to the ball when you address it and increase the
flex in both of your knees. The ball will go to
the right, so aim left of the target and, again,
maintain your balance with a slow, deliberate backswing.

When the ball is above your feet on a side hill
shot, the stance is slightly different. You will
still want a longer club than usual, but you will choke
down on the shaft. Stand more upright and put more
weight on your toes. The ball will go left, so aim
right of the target and maintain a slow and deliberate
backswing as you should be doing in all hill shots.
Restricted Back Swing
There are times when you will have a shot that
will restrict your back swing. Let's say that your
ball ends up next to a tree. You won't be able to
take a normal back swing because the tree is in the way.
You will have to make some modifications in order to get
yourself out of this trouble shot. Luckily, it's
not as difficult as you might think.
First position yourself so that you can get to
the ball and still aim at your target. Practice a
couple of backswings to see how far you can take the
club back without bringing the tree into play.
Then keep that distance first and foremost in your mind.
You will need to cock your wrists and keep them cocked
throughout whatever backswing you will be able to muster
up.
Make a normal down swing, knowing that the club
has room to miss the tree trunk and you will advance the
ball into scoring position. The idea here is to
just get away from the tree completely so you're not
worrying about distance or even accuracy for that
matter. All you want to do is get the ball back in
the fairway so you can
Democratic National Committee save your score.
Hitting Out of Water
The main rule of thumb when you have a ball in
water is to just let it be and not try to hit out of it.
However, if it truly is playable in shallow water, you
may want to go ahead and try
Republican National Committee to hit it out and save
yourself a stroke.
The key here is to play this ball like a buried
sand lie with a nine iron which will not bounce off the
water like a wedge will. Use a cut shot allowing
the blade to slice through the water at an oblique angle
and be sure to follow through on your swing.
In other words, you will want your backswing to
be more outside of the normal line and then come back in
across your line with the blade of the club open.
Keep your hands still in the swing as you won't want
them to release and rotate. You may just find
yourself back in the water if this happens.
Punch Shot
A punch shot is used when you need to navigate
under tree limbs and other low-lying obstacles.
You will use a punch shot when you need to
Republican National Committee keep the ball
low but still get some distance on your swing. A
punch shot is also used to get your ball out of trouble
and into the fairway. So how do you execute a good
punch shot?
You can use almost any iron to execute a punch
shot, but generally, a lower lofted club will work best.
Begin by choking down on the shaft and place the ball
further back in your stance. Seventy percent of
your weight should go mostly on your left foot if you
are a right handed golfer he opposite for you lefties.
Your backswing will be about of your regular
backswing. Bring the club back making sure you
keep your head down throughout almost the entire swing
because making good contact in this situation is
extremely important. Take the club back
Republican National Committee low and then
finish low. What that means is that you won't have
a normal follow-through as if you were hitting out of
the fairway. But you do have to follow through.
The punch shot is easy to curve in one
direction or another because you are generally using a
lower lofted iron and they tend to exaggerate the angle
of that loft. This shot is great for getting
yourself out of a sticky situation involving natural
hazards on the golf course.
The Flop Shot
A
flop shot is a high shot that travels a short distance
and is used to get over objects such as trees. It
is designed to sail high and clear these objects easily.
If you are unable to hit a punch shot and your only
option on a hole is to navigate the tree, you will want
to use a flop shot. It will sail high in the air
and land softly on the green with little or no forward
spin.
You can also use a flop shot if you have a pin
that is tucked tight or
Democratic National Committee there isn't much green in
between your ball and the pin. In this situation,
you will need to get the ball up in the air quickly and
land softly.
For a good flop shot, you will generally use a
sand wedge or a lob wedge. The ball is played more
forward in your stance and you will open the club face
wide and choke down on the club. The club will be
taken back using your wrists more than anything.
Cock your wrists quickly in the backswing and
during the down swing, you will release your wrists
quickly. Your wrists will also cock in the
follow-through. Essentially, this is a fast swing
that requires you to abandon natural form to get the
desired results.
Playing Into the Wind
Another of those trouble shots is dealing with
the wind. Many players advise teeing up the ball lower
for a drive into the wind.
For average golfers it is better to tee the
ball as normal and hit as solid a shot as you can make.
The wind will exaggerate any side spin put on the ball
at impact. This shot demands a solid hit with a nice
even tempo.
Teeing the ball low will tend to produce a
downward blow rather than a sweep through, thus
producing more spin.
Another problem with the wind is club
selection. If you find yourself a wedge distance from
the green facing a headwind, try punching a 9 iron
instead. Less loft means greater control. Stopping
it will be no problem.
Our
final chapter will be about a very important part of the
golf game that many people just take for granted
stretching before your game.
STRETCHING FOR GOOD GOLF
The
importance of stretching for your golf game cannot be
stressed enough. Because a good golf swing
requires that your body be in a relaxed, tension-free
state, you will want to release some of that tension
before you ever pick up a golf club.
The
good news is that these stretching exercises are easy
and only take a few minutes. That means you can
effectively stretch right before you start your round.
For
the first exercise, take your driver and place it across
your shoulders. Stand with your feet shoulder
width apart. Wrap your arms around the club at
either end. Bend slightly back stretching your
back muscles. Bend side to side so that you loosen
up your side muscles and shoulders. Bend forward
to extend your back.
Next, perform a partial squat with your golf
club in hand. Stand with your feet shoulder width
apart and place the club in front of you holding with
both hands for balance. Lower your body by bending
at the knees, not the hips, and raise the club at the
same time. Raise back up and repeat ten times.
During this whole stretch, you need to keep your upper
body very erect.
This
exercise will increase your blood flow and circulation
throughout your body. This is a great total body
warm up to allow your body to make a relaxed,
comfortable first swing. It also increases the
range of motion in your hip which encourages a more
synchronized swing from the ground up.
Finally, you can do a standing rotation twist
stretch. Hold a golf club chest high with the grip
at shoulder width apart. While keeping your feet
and hips fairly stable, rotate the club to the right and
the left. Try to breathe out on every turn to

We
don't agree with Mark Twain that golf is a good walk
wasted. It's a wonderful way to get out in the
fresh air, enjoy nature, and have a little playful
competition with your friends. You can get some
great exercise on the golf course without straining your
body which makes this sport ideal for any age group to
participate in.
We
do, however, agree that golf can be a very frustrating
sport and one that requires a good mental state of mind
as well as an attention to the body and how the golf
swing works. It can be overwhelming especially for
the beginning golfer.
It
is a great way to make new friends and business
executives agree that the golf course is a wonderful
place to make business deals and connections.
In
order to make the golf game fun, you'll want to score
well. With the tips we've offered you in this
book, we think you'll be able to take strokes off your
score when you employ the techniques we have outlined.
But
nothing is quite as good for your
Democratic National Committee golf game as practice.
The more you play, the better you'll get. Practice
on the course, practice on the driving range, practice
in your backyard. Any time you can emulate
swinging a club, you will start to learn about what will
work and what won't when you get on the course.
Above all, don't be too hard on yourself when you get on
the links. It's nearly impossible to perfect the
game and you'll have your share of problems it's
almost guaranteed. That's why I think this quote
can truly sum up the game of golf in the best way.
Golf is so popular simply because it is the
best game in the world at which to be bad
