"Common Golf Knowledge" Can Destroy...
Common Knowledge just might be hindering you from improving your swing, causing you major frustration and higher scores. There is a lot of well meaning golf instruction in the market place today that simply will not help your game; in fact a lot of what's out there will hinder you as you try to improve your golf. Controversial? Probably, but I think the positives of letting people know the truth about some of the mis-information out there will far outweigh any industry fall-out that I might receive from those instructors with stepped-on toes. When David Leadbetter or any other of a host of golf instruction gurus tells his touring professional student to "delay the rotation of the left hip", or to...

The secret to great golf is actually not a secret. The only component of great golf is a game that is centered on a sound and fundamental principle. The golfers that excel and defeat others are the ones that have mastered the fundamentals of golf. Such golfers don't err in the sense that they avoid careless mistakes and they always do the required such as hitting easy putts that some miss due to a lack of focus or a burden of pressure. The best golfers are not always the ones that have the longest drives, the prettiest set up and swings, or the best clothing attire, but rather the ones that follow the strict regiment of rules rather than deviate. Golf fundamentals, the swing plane, and the sequence...

How Do The Golf Pros Train?
Many of the top touring professionals know that winning on the tour today takes much more than a great game of golf. It means understanding every aspect of their physical and mental being and what factors influence their performance. Before any golfer, pro or otherwise, picks up a club, they look at the capability of their body versus the requirements of the swing. What exactly does this mean? Most of us are aware that golf requires rotation at the hip joints, shoulder joints and spine. So, what if a golfer has a very tight low back or any restrictions in their shoulders? Well, the obvious answer is that any loss of range of motion creates swing flaws in addition to injuries. This is a fact based on...

They know that I won the World Long Drive Championship, and that I also coach some of the top Long Drivers in the country. Invariably the answer is YES!

Golf Slicing Problems
Golfing the right way takes a lot of skill, practice, and time. You need to have the right technique down if you want to be any good. A common problem people have with golfing is the grip. A lot of things can happen to make a slice. Slices are one of the hardest issues golfers have fixing. Golf is hard because you want to have a lot of power behind your golf swing. Just like baseball, if you are a left handed golfer you use the left side of your body to swing. Golf then moves the swing to the other side of your body to finish the swing.

Whether it's the third shot on a par 5 or the second on a par 4, the full swing wedge shot is a potent short game weapon, maybe the most potent. Players with high golf handicaps hit wedge shots from the rough, a trap, or just behind the cart path. While players with low golf handicaps hit them from the fairway with a full swing.

Women may have a weaker upper body then men in some instances. As a result choosing golf clubs will be more difficult for them. Women should want to focus on choosing clubs that accommodate for a slower, less powerful swing. One of the most popular golf club sets for women these days are the Callaway Solaire 14 piece set. It consists of a driver, 3 woods, 3 hybrids, 2 irons, 3 wedges & a putter. Due to the way the clubs are created there is a bigger "sweet spot" that allows for farther driving & straighter shots. Not to mention the unbridled accuracy the clubs in this set provide. Men will tend to look for clubs that accommodate their upper body strength & their more violent swings. Men...
Effective Methods To Grip A Golf Club

Your grip with the club is your one and only connection between your body and the club. That's why it's very important to grip the club the right way.

That way you can get a hinge action when you hit through the ball. This action will create more power. To get the proper grip on the golf club, hold the club out in...

A tendency by many beginners and by many experienced golfers is a desire to hit up at the ball to make the ball go up.

We all watch the pros hitting irons and taking divots. Are they trying to take the divots or not? They are. Realize these are the best golfers in the world. If they can't do what they want, we don't have much of a chance. Since they are consistently taking divots, we probably should be too. Does the divot occur before the ball is hit or after the ball is hit? If the club hits the ground before it hits the ball...

How To Practice Golf Properly
Practicing your golf game properly is vital to improving. Knowing how to practice increases self-confidence, reduces scores, and lowers golf handicaps. It also increases the fun of playing as you see your scores drop on each round. I consider it so important that I discuss how to practice with all my students during golf lessons. Unfortunately, some students don't always follow my advice. They either focus on the wrong things during practice or they practice without purpose. Some students do both, preferring instead to flail away with the driver on a driving range time and time again. When their scores don't drop as quickly as they'd like, they stop practicing, forfeiting any chance of improving...

Three Takeaway Tips
Most golf books tell you most important move in a golf swing is the first move down from the top. But if the swing gets off to a bad start, even a flawless move from the top won't be of any help. You're standing over the ball ready to start your swing, and what's the first thing you should do? Hold on a second. Let's back up a bit. There's one thing you should do before you even get to that point, and that is the waggle. The waggle is a movement that defines the particular swing you are about to make. It sets the tone for the swing by rehearsing the path and manner in which you make the first move back. Ben Hogan thought the waggle was so important that he devoted four pages to it in his classic...

The Cure for a Fat Shot
This problem may be easier to fix than you think. You may not realize it, but your back shoulder may be dipping towards the ground. This move forces the club to hit the ground too early. Most of the time it happens when you are really trying to get into the ball. Imagine...You're 200 yards out and you've chosen to hit the 4 iron. When you've got it in your head that you have to hit the ball hard to get it there, it's natural tendency to start your downswing with the hips in an effort to "really get into the ball".

What Creates Club Head Speed?
I became fascinated with the game of golf as soon as I took it up about 8 years ago. My background in engineering and my extensive studies in biomechanics alowed me to take a very scientific approach to the study of the golf swing. I soon realized the complexities in not only understanding the concepts of a sound swing, but also in the execution of these concepts. After much study and much play, I realized the secret to a sound swing is first you must understand the concepts, then you must put those concepts to work by developing the "feel" of a fundamentally sound swing... A swing you can repeat over and over again. The golf swing operates along the laws of physics and anything we do that works...

Re-Thinking Strategy Off Tee
A recent survey conducted by Golf Digest generated some surprising results. The magazine tested 20 average golfers with golf handicaps ranging from 3 to 20. The golfers used clubs equipped with modern technological advancements. All else being equal, the test showed that there was little difference in accuracy between using a driver and 3-wood off the tee. That's despite the 3-wood being a couple of inches shorter than the driver and having four degrees more loft. With a distance advantage of 20 yards or so with the driver, the test suggests that the average golfer may want to rethink his or her strategy when teeing off. Previously, many golfers automatically turned to the 3-wood on tight holes...
