One Handed Putting Drill

I am taking lessons from my local pro. I asked him for a putting drill to improve my stroke and he has me putting only with my right hand on the putter. Have you ever heard of this and do you make your students do this putting drill.

Yes I do!

Two reasons that I highly encourage my students to practice this one handed putting drill is that it gives them the exact feel of a proper putting motion and it develops a feel for the proper impact position for the putting stroke. This is a very simple thing to implement into your putting practice. Take your grip stance and posture and proceed to setup to stroke a putt from just two to three feet away from the hole.

Take your usual putting grip for a putting stroke. Assuming you are putting right handed, take your left hand off the putter leaving only your right hand on the putter in the hands usual position. Now you should have your putter in its regular position and the ball position placed in your usual position as well. The palm of your right hand should be equal to the direction of your putter face.

One reason for doing this putting drill from such a short distance as two or three feet is the backswing will not need very much movement. This should allow you to "feel" the putter head as it moves through the motion no matter how strong you are. The right wrist should keep the same angle throughout the stroke as at address and will not break AT ALL during this stroke from this distance.

With the correct grip pressure, you will be able to feel your putter load against the index finger of your right hand (again, for a right handed golfer). This load that is properly stored will be delivered to the golf ball during the forward stroke and will be lost just after impact. If you use a stripped range ball while doing this putting drill, place the stripe so it is parallel to the green surface and make your stroke under the stripe on the range ball. Your right hand should be ahead of the ball at impact. To finish the putting drill, hold your finish to a slow count of three. The putter head should be under your hands and not way out in front of your hands. Remember, your right wrist angle should not change.

Golf Lessons

As the golf season is in full swing all over the country now, many players are wondering how they can improve their games. We receive many questions at our academy and through our blog about golf lessons. Below are a couple of the most common questions that we get about taking a golf lesson. If you have any other questions feel free to submit them to the VGS Golf Blog and we may use it as a post.

Do I need to take a golf lesson?

Technically, no. You do not have to take golf lessons or golf instruction. With this being said, it will take you longer to learn the game and could bring un-needed frustration to you. Especially as you begin to learn the game it is a good idea to take golf lessons & instruction. Would you try to sky dive or ski without first having lessons or would you just try to figure it out? You will be able to learn the proper golf swing fundamentals from your golf instructor and this will give you a good foundation to build on as you learn to play the game.

So many people claim that they have the answers to how to play better golf. How do I find a qualified golf instructor?

There are many ways to find a qualified golf instructor. It is a lot like finding a new doctor or accountant after re-locating to a new city. Ask your co-workers, friends and fellow golfing buddies for the experiences that they have had. You can locate a local golf instructor through PGA.com that is close to you. The PGA offers certifications in teaching and these instructors are few and far between. If you are close proximity to one you are lucky and should take that opportunity.

Let us know how your game is progressing.

Set Up Position: Common Questions

Here are three common questions about the set up position and what you need to do in order to improve your set up position:

How far apart do you place your feet?
Opposed to some opinions, the golf swing is an athletic move. Thus you should start in an athletic position. With this being said many of you can pull from experiences playing sports growing up. If you did not play any sports when you were younger, do not worry. Your feet should be about shoulder width apart or how wide they would be if you were going to try to jump into the air. Pretty simple, huh?

How should you bend over to the ball in your set up position?
Sounds like it should be pretty easy. However many struggle with doing this properly. Unfortunately, many golfers will slouch down to get to the golf ball. This makes the top of their back round out and makes hitting a golf ball consistently much more difficult. The image that works for many is simply to put your pants pockets behind your heels. Yes, this means you need to stick your backside out a bit. Again, like you are going to jump.

Where should the ball go in your stance?
If you learned to play golf back in the day you were told that the ball must go into a different position for each club. Modern instruction has made that a lot easier for you. To place the ball correctly in your set up position, simply place the middle of the club head in the middle of your feet. If it is a wood or hybrid, find the center of the club head and it will go in the middle of you stance and the ball will be place right in front of the club head.

Golf Tips About Golf Swing Tempo

We have received a lot of questions for golf tips about hitting solid iron shots from our golf blog. Many amateurs do not realize how much tempo and moving in the correct sequence can not only add distance but allow them to control the direction of their golf ball as well.

Here are a few golf tips to help you with your golf swing:

1. The rate of your golf swing will usually mirror your personality. That simply means if you walk and talk fast, the overall tempo of your swing will be quicker as well. Examples of this can be found in professional golf. Nick Price is usually used as the example of someone with a faster tempo and Ernie Els as the example of a slower tempo.

2. You will really want to monitor the first six inches to a foot of your golf swing. Especially when we are nervous, many players will be quick right from the start. This gets many players out of sequence and then compensating moves must be made in order to hit a good golf shot as the player will never feel like they are properly loaded.

3. The other place in the golf swing that players seem to get out of sequence is what is referred to as the top of the swing. We like to refer to this position as taking the golf club back and not up. If the club is not back or not loaded, the golfer typically will grab the golf club and make the move that is usually referred to as coming over the top. This is when our right shoulder (for a right handed golfer) comes towards the golf ball and not down towards the ground. This move will happen naturally if you are in proper sequence and turn your core or hips towards your target on the downswing.

Use these golf tips to improve your game and lower your handicap.

Houston Junior Camps

As we are getting ready for Houston junior camps, we thought it would be a help to create a list of what you need to take with you to your junior camp. Here are five things to make sure that you have before you go to your junior camp.

1. You want to pack your golf clubs. This sounds obvious and sometimes that makes it the hardest to remember. If your child is looking to get a new set of golf clubs in the near future, you will want one of the golf instructors that they works with to give you recommendations for their next set as well as the specs or measurements that they will need.

2. You never know what kind of weather you’re going to encounter during your golf camp, so make sure you take the right kind of gear for rain, like a rain jacket, umbrella, or visor. In addition, stay with solid colors so they can mix and match while she is gone.

3. Make sure you have comfortable shoes and socks with you to junior camp. While at the junior golf camp, they will be hitting more balls and playing more holes than they are probably used to doing at home. Having fresh socks to put on at lunch may give their feet the breather that they need.

4. The more and more we learn about what the sun is doing to all of us, the more important that it is to pack plenty of sun screen. We are learning that this can be very crucial to your health. At our camps, we encourage our students to use it multiple times a day as the instructors do as well.

5. Packing the needed medications for the time your child will be gone is important. Try to think ahead as well. For instance, if they are traveling to another area of the country may kick in some allergy or sinus problem that she was not currently having at home. With this over the counter medicine not taking up much room it is much better to be safe than sorry.

Individual Golf Lesson

I have been playing for quite awhile but I have never taken an individual golf lesson and am a 23 handicap. I have friends suggesting that I should take a series of golf lessons. Will an individual golf lesson really help me?

Yes it will as long as you find a qualified golf instructor in which you have good communication. There are many ways to find a qualified golf instructor. It is a lot like finding a new doctor or accountant after re-locating to a new city. Ask your co-workers, friends and fellow golfing buddies for the experiences that they have had. You can locate a local golf instructor through PGA.com that is close to you. The PGA offers certifications in teaching and these instructors are few and far between. If you are close proximity to one you are lucky and should take that opportunity.

In an individual golf lesson, you are one on one with your golf instructor and he or she can give you his or her undivided attention. The golf instructor will have time to completely explain any part of the full swing in which you are having trouble.

If you take golf lessons in a series, make sure that you are learning all aspects of the game. This means that your one on one golf lessons will include spending time on the practice putting green as well as in the short game area if it is available. If this area is not available, any golf instructor worth their weight will take you out onto the golf course to learn these shots.

Make sure to arrive early for your individual golf lesson so you can properly warm up prior to the session. You will be wasting time that you are paying for if the first part of the lesson is spent getting you warmed up.

The One Golf Tip That Is Not Talked About

As I talk with many of my students, it seems like there is one golf tip that is just not talked about very often by other instructors.

The one golf tip that seems to be overlooked is balance. Balance at address and set up, balance during the swing as well as balance in the finish position. It is very important to find an instructor who can explain how balance works for you in the golf swing.

Balance is the most overlooked fundamental throughout the entire golf swing. It is especially important in the setup. If you do not start in proper balance, it is very unlikely you will gain it during the motion.

Balance comes in two forms. Balance needs to be correct from side to side as well as front to back. This is easy to check by moving the weight around on your feet prior to making your golf swing. Once you find your balance, it is not uncommon that you may need to move closer or farther away from the golf ball.

Many people start off pretty well. However, before they are at the top of their backswing, they are already out of balance. Again, this means that they are going to have to manipulate the golf club in order to hit a proper golf shot. You cannot time this in order to hit consistent golf shots.

Once you are in your finish position, you can check your balance by simply holding your finish and counting to three very slowly. This will give you time to evaluate where your weight is distributed and if it is distributed correctly.

By monitoring your balance in your own golf set up, golf swing and finish position, you will improve your consistency and increase the number of solid golf shots that you hit. Not only will the game become more fun whether you are a beginner golfer or an accomplished player, you will also see you scores improve.

Golf Tips To Improve Your Set Up

I am looking for some quick golf tips as I am trying to really learn more about the fundamentals of golf. I have only been playing golf for a short time and I am obsessed with learning as much as I can about the game. Do you have some golf tips on ball position and alignment?

We are happy that you are finding the game as intriguing as we do. Have fun with the information and feel free to ask any other questions through this blog.

Golf Tips - Ball Position
Although there are many theories on where the ball should be at address, most golfers should keep this very simple and keep the club head in the center of their stance. Understand that the club head can change, depending on the type of club that you are using.

When you are swinging the driver, the middle of the driver club head will go in the middle of your golf stance. By looking at the center of the top of the driver head, since the driver head is the widest, the ball will be placed farther forward in your stance than your irons.

When swinging an iron, again place the center of the club head in the center of your stance. This takes the guess work out of where to place the golf ball and will lead to consistency in your ball striking.

Golf Tips - Alignment
You have to know where you are going in order to get there. If you are not pointing in the direction that you want the golf ball to start, then you will have to make many manipulations in order to create the ball flight that you want.

You can easily check this in a short practice session on the driving range. As you hit some range balls, lay some clubs on the ground to properly gain your bearings. It will feel different at first. This is good. It means that you are changing something.

3 Golf Tips - How To Hit Better Drives

In the past, I have been just like everyone else in that I think that I can lower my score by hitting my drives farther down the fairway. I have come to the conclusion that this is simply not true. I hit them farther into the woods! Do you have some golf tips that would allow me to hit better drives and help me put the driver in the fairway instead of the rough?

As you know, everyone is in love with the fact of trying to get as much distance as they can from their driver. As you have found out, some players are even obsessed to the point, it hurts their scores. A test with tour players was done years ago on this subject. They had them hit their drive. If it was in the fairway, fine. If it was in the rough, they had them play that ball. In addition, they put in play another ball that was in the fairway but thirty yards behind their tee shot in the rough. Believe it or not, these players scored better from the fairway thirty yards behind the original ball in the rough! That proves how important hitting it in the fairway is for all of us.

Here is how you can hit better drives that end up in the fairway without even using a training aid:

1. Make sure your ball position is correct. Many amateurs play their driver to far forward in their stance in an attempt to help the ball in the air.

2. Use a full swing but only swing 80%. This means if a full swing is normally 100mph then you are looking to stay in balance and swing at 80mph.

3. Make sure that you have the correct shaft in your driver. Many players have pre-conceived ideas that they need to hit a certain flex shaft. I would make my decision more strictly based on the ball flight.

Let us know how it goes!

Series Of Golf Lessons

I am interested in taking golf lessons to improve my game. I have never done this before and I am not sure on how to go about finding an instructor for me. Do you have any advice on how to find the right instructor to help me improve my game?

We will first assume that you are a high to mid-handicapper. I assume this only because this is “typically” where this question comes. In turn, this should help quite a few people.

Again assuming that you already have formed a list of a couple of teachers in your area, I would suggest calling them or setting up a brief meeting with them and find out the following:

In your meeting over the phone or in person, you need to find out how that person is qualified to teach golf lessons and who else have they taught. I would not be looking for them to run off a bunch of names that play on tour unless that is your goal. Instead, I would look for names of people that have a similar handicap as yourself and what their progress was.

Understanding that you are not taking golf lessons from them right then and there, you will still want to hear a generalization of their golf swing theory. This is very important. It is important because this will give you an idea of how the person communicates with you. If what he or she says sounds logical on top of creating an open communication with you, then even better. If the potential instructor only talks about working on the driving range and not improving the other areas of your game such as your short game and putting, choose another instructor. Period.

Another question to ask about golf lessons is if they will be using any training aids during their lessons. Many times training aids will help you get a feeling or a visual that is difficult to grasp. Training aids are made for all aspects of the game including the full swing, chipping, pitching and putting. Sometimes you are eligible for a discount on the various training aids because you are their student. It never hurts to ask!

The last thing that you will want to know in your initial conversation about golf lessons is how the golf lesson will be summarized or how will you be given your homework from the driving range. This will vary from instructor to instructor. Some simply end the lesson while some others will email you the notes that they had about the lesson directly to you. This information should also include how many times you should practice before the next appointment.

How Do I Start My Young Kids Playing Golf?

My kids have shown interest in playing golf. I have played for many years and look forward to being able to spend time with them playing golf in the future. My kids are still pretty young and golf cannot keep their attention for 9 holes. How would you suggest I get them introduced to the game?

My first response is get them introduced any way that you can. With this being said make sure that it is their idea and that they want to play. This may mean cutting some practice sessions short for you.

1. In addition, before you start to play, determine what their "personal par" will be for every hole you will be playing. As the junior golfer improves obviously the "personal par" will go down.

2. Go out with your junior in "non-peak" hours. At some courses this is easier to do than others. This will take the pressure off of everybody at a certain pace.

3. The hole does not need to be the target to end the hole. What does this mean? Some smaller juniors find it more fun to hit it into a bunker than onto a green. This may seem counter-intuitive to many golf purists however, once you think about it, typically the bunkers are smaller than the putting greens. This can only make them better later. In addition, they LOVE to climb into the bunkers and this gives us a chance to teach bunker etiquette.

4. Depending on their age or skill level, allow them to "tee it up" from the 100 or 150 yard marker on all the par fours and par fives to begin the hole. This is not as daunting for them and will help keep the group moving around the golf course.

5. Before you start, agree with the junior golfer on what the "max score" per hole will be. This can also make each golf hole fun by making it a game. It is very important not to make a big deal if the max is hit and making the junior feel inadequate. Both the adult and the junior needs to remember "it is just a game."

Do I Really Need To Keep A Golf Journal?

My golf instructor is trying to get me to carry a small golf journal while I play a round of golf. Is it really needed?

It sounds like you have a good golf instructor. Whether you take golf lessons or not, it is important to keep a golf journal or a small notebook (less than a dollar) with you when you practice or play. It is important to note the flight of the golf balls. Do they start by flying to the left or right? Once they get to the top of their flight do they topple forward or to the left or right? What about the trajectory of your golf shots? Are they too low, or too high? Eventually after a couple of rounds of golf, you will start to see tendencies. If you do take lessons, this will be valuable information for your professional. As we all know, the golf ball sometimes tends to fly differently once we are on the golf course.

You will also want to begin keeping simple stats in your golf journal. I do this a lot by using an extra scorecard (free) and using each line for a separate statistic. You will want to keep fairways hit or missed, greens hit or missed, up and downs that are converted and the number of putts that you take on each hole. Again, you will begin to see tendencies form and you will be able where to split up your practice time to improve your scores. In addition, your instructor may find something in your stats that simply is not happening during your golf lessons.

By keeping a simple golf journal with some of these easy suggestions along with others that you will come up with in your own, you will begin to see good and bad patterns forming. With this information, you can improve your weaknesses and lower your handicap.

How To Improve With A Golf Instruction DVD

You now have bought a golf instruction DVD. Do you know how to get the most out of it? If not it is ok, here is how to get the most out of a golf instruction DVD:

Golf Instruction DVD – The first time that you watch the DVD, Just simply watch it and enjoy it. Do not try to take every little morsel of information that you can out of it the very first time that you watch it. This is not as easy as it sounds to do as again we all want to improve as fast as we can. However keep in mind the first sentence said “The first time that you watch the DVD.” Look at your new purchase as a long term investment into improving your golf game.

Golf Instruction DVD – The second time that you watch the information is when you want to get down and dirty with the information presented to you. Get yourself into a quiet place with a note book and take notes or create an outline of what the instructor is attempting to get across. The better that you understand the information at this point the better you will be able to implement it into your game.

Golf Instruction DVD – Take this information and create a plan of attack for your golf game. Now that you have taken notes and the information has sunk in a little more, how will it benefit you? Will it benefit you? I have watched different golf lesson DVDs and upon completion of the previous steps decided that that information did not work into my theory or system. This does not mean that it was a waste! I then knew that that info did not work for me and I did not have to waste my time on it any more in the future and would not travel down that road again.

Golf Instruction DVD – It is now time for the fun part. It is now time to go to the lab, oh sorry, the driving range, to test what you have come up with in your plan of attack. Again take notes of what does work and what does not work for you and your golf swing. This will give you the building blocks that you will need to build a system that works for you. This is very important to understand as we are not all built the same, come with different amounts of flexibility and are all wired differently.

Golf Can Be Fun For Younger Kids

I have two young children. I would like to get them involved in the game of golf. However I see my friends forcing their kids to play and forcing them to like it. I want my kids to play golf because they want to play. Do you have any suggestions on how to keep the game fun for them at younger ages?

Sure we do! Here you go and let us know if you have any other questions!

1. Before you start, agree with the junior golfer on what the "max score" per hole will be. This can also make each golf hole fun by making it a game.

Clubs Go The Same Distance

I have a hard time with hitting all my golf clubs the same distance. I just started playing golf about two years ago and I have taken a few lessons but it always seems like soooo much information. I really like playing golf but it is frustrating when it really does not matter which club I hit the clubs all go the same distance.

We hear this challenge from a lot from ladies and we can help you. The reason that all your irons go the same distance is that you are using the leading edge of the clubface or the very bottom of the club. I does not have any loft therefore all of your shots go the same distance.

You simply have to much tension in your golf swing. What do I mean? During your swing, especially through impact you have too much tension in your shoulders, elbows and wrists. Here is an easy full swing drill to fix your challenge. Place a tee in the ground. Swing at the tee trying to make contact with it and knock it out of the ground. My guess is the first few swings you may miss the tee by swinging high. As you relax your shoulders you will swing "lower" your golf swing and eventually hit the tee. Once you can consistently hit the tee out of the ground or forward as the longer tees are harder to get out of the ground, add the golf ball to the tee. MAKE SURE you are still trying to knock the tee out of the ground when the ball is added. This will make sure that your clubface is low enough to use the different lofts of each club. As a result, you will hit balls different distances. If these distances are not far enough, that is a different lesson!

Junior Golf Clubs For Christmas

I am excited because I have decided to buy a set of junior golf clubs for my son for Christmas this year. What do I need to know in order to purchase a set that he can have fun with and will not do him more harm than good?

Great Question! It seems like you realize that this set will be outgrown just as he will outgrow a pair of shoes. With this being said, if your son is younger than twelve years old, do not be afraid to purchase something that might be a “little” too long for him now. This will give him some room to grow and help your pocket book especially if he is really young.

The most important thing which needs remembering when you are out shopping for junior golf clubs is for you to consider height issues. The sort of golf clubs which you end up selecting should match with the child’s current height and factor in some growth as well. You really don’t want to keep buying new golf clubs every year. Choosing golf clubs which allow for growth should keep your children safe for a number of years. A seemingly long club might have to be choked a little bit but this is still more or less okay for a junior golfer who will grow into it.

If a young golfer has difficulty hitting the ball later on in the life of their golf clubs, this may mean that their golf clubs have become too short and that it is time to purchase a new set of junior golf clubs. If you don’t mind the option, you can always buy a used set of junior golf clubs at tack houses or other such locations where they have such golf clubs for sale.

Weight issues of the golf club are also of concern when selecting a set of golf clubs because when you select a golf club in order to match the needs of a smaller person such as a younger player, it involves the thicker section of the golf club and this may cause issues centered around the proper hold that a junior player has on the golf club. Junior golf clubs that are designed by professional manufacturers are often best suited for young golfers that show some promise in the game.

Keeping Junior Golf Fun For The Young Ones

Do you have any ideas to keep golf fun for our kids and to keep them playing golf? They are both really young (eight and six) and I would like for them to enjoy the game as much as I do as well as selfishly I could spend more time with them.

Here are some suggestions for you by Brad Myers, South Texas PGA 2005 Eastern Chapter Junior Golf Award winner, gives you some hints on how to keep the game of golf fun.
1. Go out with your junior golfer in "non-peak" hours. At some courses this is easier to do than others.
2. Depending on their age allow them to tee it up from the 100 or 150 yard marker on all the par fours and par fives to begin the hole. This is not as daunting for them and will help keep the group moving around the golf course.
3. Before you start, agree with the junior golfer on what the "max score" per hole will be. This can also make each golf hole fun by making it a game. It is very important not to make a big deal if the max is hit and making the junior feel inadequate. Both the adult and the junior needs to remember "it is just a game."
4. Before you start to play, determine what their "personal par" will be for every hole you will be playing. As the junior golfer improves obviously the "personal par" will go down.
5. Make the putting green the goal. This is a good way for the younger junior golfers to get started and as it reads only count the shots that it takes to get to the green to determine a score.
6. The hole does not need to be the end of the hole. What does this mean? Some smaller juniors find it more fun to hit it into a sand bunker than onto a green. This may seem counter-intuitive to many golf purists however, once you think about it, typically the sand bunkers or sand traps are smaller than the putting greens. This can only make them better later. In addition, they LOVE to climb into the bunkers and this gives us a chance to teach bunker etiquette.
7. Keep the game fun at all costs!!! Keep a junior golf journal to continue the fun at home as well as build memories that can be looked upon forever. With so many activities available to our young people, their interest may come and go. However, by keeping it fun they will always come back to golf.

Feet Together Drill

I have been playing golf for a long time and I used to take lessons from an old pro. He would make everyone do the feet together drill. I have not thought about doing this for a long time. However, I was reminded of him the other day and his memory brought back the thought of the feet together drill. Will this drill work with technology in today's equipment?

Without question this golf drill is still prevalent in today's teaching to fix many different golf swing ailments.

To do this golf instruction drill, address the golf ball for a full swing and simply put your feet together. Once in position, take a few "small" swings with a golf ball on a tee no matter what your handicap is or is not. The more comfortable you become swinging with your feet together the larger swing you can make and eventually place the golf ball on the ground. As you will quickly find with such a narrow balance point, this drill tests and promotes good balance and pace during your golf swing. Your goal is to hit a solid golf shot and not to hit it 300 yards. The feet together drill demands that you swing within your capabilities or you will find yourself literally falling down!

If you are not hitting solid golf shots, do the feet together drill whenever you start to lose confidence in your golf swing. If the golf ball keeps going to the right for a right handed golfer then drop your right foot behind you until the right toe is equal with your left heel and make some swings. This will promote the golf club releasing and in a perfect world, you should start to see the ball turning to the left while in the air.

The Top Of The Backswing Is Not Always Parallel!

Although it shouldn't, it still amazes me how many people think that the top of the golf swing is parallel to the ground with every golf club in their bag! Do these people not read or watch any golf at all? Here is the low down on where the top of the golf swing should be:

The first question I would ask is: what club is being used? Swinging a driver to parallel at the top of the golf swing is a different ball game from swinging your nine iron to parallel. Think about it or go to the garage and grab both and try to do it. With the shaft of the nine iron being shorter, the club does not need to get to parallel to achieve maximum results.

The second question would be: are you getting properly coiled or loaded in your golf swing? ON YOUR BACKSWING, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT YOU NEED TO BE PROPERLY COILED OR LOADED. Coiled? Loaded? What does that mean? It simply means that you are stretching muscles away from the target so they will want to move in the opposite direction which should be at your target. Imagine stretching a rubber band. If you do not pull it tight enough, it could go anywhere and not very fast. If you pull it correctly, it moves where you are aiming it and fairly quickly. Finally, if you pull it too far, the rubber band can not handle the tension and breaks. OUCH!

The third question that gets asked is: where do you think the top of your swing is? Ninety plus percent of the time, the student will take the club to parallel. In order to do this, the student will over turn their hips or move their right knee to allow their body to turn far enough to get to parallel. Is this a powerful move? NO! Think about pushing something heavy like a golf cart. Stand away from the cart and attempt to push the cart with your arm(s) extended. Now get closer to the cart and put your weight into it. Is this not easier? It makes it easier to hit a golf ball as well.

Three Quick Golf Tips

All of us are becoming busier and busier. With businesses scaling back the workforce, we have even less time than before for ourselves and our families, let alone with our golf. With this being said, everyone is looking for a quick golf tip.

Quick Golf Tip - Balance is an underestimated part of the golf swing by most amateurs. In your setup, you will need to check your balance from side to side (left to right) as well as from front to back. You can do this by simply swaying side to side until you feel balanced and do the same from front to back. This will allow you to find your perfect balance. Now the key is once this is found you may need to move closer to the ball or farther away from the ball to stay in balance.

Quick Golf Tip - Grip pressure and arm tension is something that all golfers should monitor during every single swing. Your shoulders and your forearms should not feel like they have any tension in them at all. To give you an example, if you take your grip and hold the club out in front of you with the shaft parallel to the ground. If your shoulders and forearms are relaxed enough then the golf club should drop to the ground. This is the feeling of how relaxed your shoulders and forearms should be during your golf swing.

Quick Golf Tip - Once you start playing your round of golf, leave your ego at home and make and aggressive swing at a conservative target. What does this mean? Do not always go flag hunting on every hole. With not playing very often you are not going to hit every shot where you are looking. Increase your chances of playing better by aiming at the largest part of the green or the part of the green you are most comfortable with trying to hit a golf shot.

How To Get It Out Of The Rough

As we are in the heat of the summer and in most parts of the country, the grass is thriving on golf courses, especially in the rough. How do you get out of the rough? This is a very popular question this time of year. Here is how you make this trouble shot easy:

As with any trouble shot, a player's first goal is to get the ball out of the rough. The player's second goal is to get the ball back on the fairway or on the putting green. The player's third goal would be to get the golf ball close to the hole.

The trouble shot you are able play from the rough totally depends on the lie of your golf ball. At this point, you need to ask yourself, "How much grass will be in-between your golf ball and your golf club face." The answer to this question will tell you what kind of trouble shot will be appropriate to use.

The more grass that would come between your ball and the clubface, the higher lofted club you will need to use to get the ball out of the rough. This may mean a club that will not allow you to get all the way to the putting green. Long grass typically has the effect of closing the face of the club which decreases the loft of your clubface. For this reason, the player should use a more lofted club than if the ball were in the fairway.

Around the putting green, the player must again use a more lofted club. Due to the bounce of the club, these shots are custom made for a sand wedge or lob wedge. The effect of the long grass will once again decrease the loft of the club and decrease the spin on your golf ball. The ball will therefore fly lower and run more than if it were in the fairway-cut grass.

Keep Golf Fun For Junior Golfers

Here is an article about junior golf from our website http://www.virtualgolfswing.com/:

The putting green is the best place to introduce kids to golf by putting. Once an "understanding" is developed, close to the green chipping should be introduced. As the junior golfers get farther away from the green,the pitch shot will be introduced and finally the full swing. Sooner or later the junior golfers will want to play a round. Many parents, as well as other players, wince at the thought. They are afraid a bad golf course experience might turn their junior golfers off to the game of golf. Brad Myers, South Texas PGA 2005 Eastern Chapter Junior Golf Award winner, gives you some hints on how to keep the game of golf fun when you first go to the golf course.
1. Go out with your junior golfer in "non-peak" hours. At some courses this is easier to do than others.
2. Depending on their age allow them to tee it up from the 100 or 150 yard marker on all the par fours and par fives to begin the hole. This is not as daunting for them and will help keep the group moving around the golf course.
3. Before you start, agree with the junior golfer on what the "max score" per hole will be. This can also make each golf hole fun by making it a game.

How To Keep A Golf Scorecard

Especially as you begin to play the game, it is understandable that you may feel that properly scoring a round of golf is nearly impossible. With all of the rules that the game of golf has it is possible to make scoring easy for a beginning golfer. Many players do not keep score when they first start because they are already nervous and frustrated by their golf swing and that is ok. Remember no matter what skill level you are at, having fun is the real name of the game.

We will begin with explaining the scorecard. Obviously, not all scorecards for every gofl course is the same. However, they all do have some common points of interest that they must cover. To start with, every scorecard has a wide column for the names of the players. This is purely for your reference. The order the names (or nicknames) appear on the card does not matter. Although golf is typically played in foursomes, you may find more than four spaces available for names. Sometimes, a scorecard will have par (we will discuss later) as a colored bar running across the card and this will allow for you to show teams more easily if needed.

What is Par? This is a common question that new golfers have. Par on the scorecard refers to the expected amount of strokes that it may take to complete the hole for a scratch or expert golfer. With a few exceptions to the rule, par is typically determined strictly by distance. Par is always determined by assuming it would take two strokes once on the putting surface in regulation to hole the ball.

For example a hole that is a "Par 5" should take 3 strokes to reach the green in regulation and two more strokes to hole the ball. If you can reach a par five in two shots and two putts that would be a four or one under par or also known as a birdie. Conversely, if it takes you four strokes to reach the green on a par five and two putts then you would have made a six or be one over par also known as a bogey for that hole. After the round you may hear someone refer to their round as twenty over. This means they were twenty over par. On a course with a par of 72, they would have been telling you that they had shot ninety-two that day.

Junior Golf Clubs - What You Need To Know

To make the game enjoyable for your kids, it is important that they are properly fit for a set of junior golf clubs. A "cut down" club is usually too heavy for most juniors. A qualified PGA Professional can find a golf club that your junior can swing with ease and build a good foundation to enjoy the game of golf their entire life.

When purchasing a new set of junior golf clubs, it will also be important to ask your professional if a trade-in and trade-up program is available. Manufacturers such as Callaway have this program, however not all professionals participate. How it typically works is once your child has out-grown their set of junior golf clubs you take them back to your professional and depending on what condition they are in you will be offered a set amount of money to use towards the new set that you will be purchasing. Obviously, the younger your child the more sense this makes as it cold save you quite a bit of money as your "little one" gets bigger and bigger.

Feet Together Drill To Lower Your Scores

Our students are amazed at what they can learn by simply placing their feet toghether. We get asked all of the time, "Can improving your golf swing be as easy as just putting your feet together?" The answer is, Yes! Let me explain why. The feet together drill is a classic full swing golf tip and is definitely an oldie but a goodie when it comes to full swing drills. This full swing golf drill promotes many good things such as good balance and rhythm as well as improves your timing during your golf swing. Below we will discuss the ins and outs of this simple golf drill and what it can do for you.

If you are not hitting teh bal as asolid as you wold like or one of the many players who over swing, this is a great drill for you to use in your practice sessions. In between golf shots, you can also use the feet together drill while you are on the golf course if things go wayward.

To do this golf instruction drill, address the golf ball for a full swing and simply put your feet together. Once in position, take a few "small" swings with a golf ball on a tee no matter what your handicap is or is not. The more comfortable you become swinging with your feet together the larger swing you can make and eventually place the golf ball on the ground. As you will quickly find with such a narrow balance point, this drill tests and promotes good balance and pace during your golf swing. Your goal is to hit a solid golf shot and not to hit it 300 yards. The feet together drill demands that you swing within your capabilities or you will find yourself literally falling down!

If you are not hitting solid golf shots, do the feet together drill whenever you start to lose confidence in your golf swing. If the golf ball keeps going to the right for a right handed golfer then drop your right foot behind you until the right toe is equal with your left heel and make some swings. This will promote the golf club releasing and in a perfect world, you should start to see the ball turning to the left while in the air.

The Practice T - Golf Training Aids

I am always asked about what the best golf training aids are THE PRACTICE T from Eyeline Golf is one of the golf training aids that I personally use. In addition, I use The Practice T in many of the golf lessons that I give. The Practice T is one of the golf training aids that will help you build the perfect setup for your golf swing. One of the the advantages to The Practice T is how easy to set up and use while you are practicing. You simply secure The Practice T in the ground with golf tees. My favorite part is the fact that you can easily slide the other bar to ensure correct ball position without resetting the entire golf training aid. This makes The Practice T very simple to use. It also includes a mirror so you can ensure your shoulders are aligned properly and this will give you greater control and consistency with every club.
