Sharpen Your Game With These Golf Tips
Benefit with us from the lessons and pointers we've learned from our dedicated golf friends. Through clinics, talks, and play we're accumulating a library of handy information. So check it out and see if there's a tip here that might help you in your game. Our tips are for novices and experienced players, alike! There's something for every one here!
On The Tee Box:
Be aware of where the tees are lining up they could be directing you to trouble!
Hit the club which will give you the best position, not necessarily the most distance.
Tee up on the side of the tee box which opens up the fairway (i.e., dogleg to right, tee off on left side of box).
Approach Shots :
Be aware of "sucker"pins and don't be suckered! Aim to "fat" side of green to allow for a greater margin of error. The goal to leave yourself the best putt at the hole uphill, with the least amount of break
Take plenty of club --- in most cases, play more club than you think (i.e., you don't have to hit it perfectly) This is especially important if there is trouble in the front of the green (bunkers, water, etc.)
Play an extra club for uphill slopes. Play an extra club for moderate wind. On sidehill/uphill lies, grip down on the club because the ball is closer to you. On downhill/sidehill lies, keep your knees level when hitting the ball -- the ball will have a tendency to go right.
Lay Up Shots :
Lay up to your ideal full swing distance. Especially important on par 5's to not leave yourself with a half-swing touch shot, which is less reliable than a full swing with a "favorite" club that you are more likely to "nail."
Use the driving range to determine your club yardages. Everyone hits clubs differently, so your yardages will be different from your playing partners. Practice at the range will let you gain confidence in your clubs and how far they will go for YOU.
Hit The Shot "You Know You Can Hit" :
Don't try to hit a shot you haven't practiced.
First rule is always to Get Out of Trouble. One extra shot to get you out of trouble is much better than trying the "miracle" shot that gets you into more trouble and adds even more strokes to the original mistake.
Only take a risk if you have a 75% chance of success! |
