I'm going to describe two very different golf shots to you. One is called a pitch shot with loft, and the other is called a chip shot with run. Now what's the difference? Well, first of all, sometimes the pin is in a situation where you have to go over an uneven lie, or you have to go over the edge of a bunker, or you have to go over a little tree and you need it to stop a little quicker. So, you take out your loftier golf club, your lob wedge or your sand wedge. Put the ball in the middle of your stance, a little weight left and swing your arms up and down. And after it hits the green, it will slow down and stop because it has so much loft on it. Now, for a chip shot, or a bump and run shot, it's...

Wilson , Callaway, Titleist, Adams , King Cobra, Yonex, Ping , Taylor Made, Mizuno, and Spaulding are all excellent name brand golf clubs. As a beginning or even a professional golfer, trying to decide which set of golf clubs to purchase, however, may often feel like taking a shot in the dark. In a society that is increasing name brand conscious, many of us are tempted to simply buy what everyone else seems to be buying. Selecting the proper golf clubs, however, is something that you shouldn't do without having a good idea of what types are available and what the specific use of each club is. Using the proper golf club can and will greatly improve your game. Other important things to consider are...

The golf swing is really a rotary movement in nature. Actually part of the real secret behind the perfect golf swing has to do with a golfer understanding the rotary motions in the golf swing and being able to perfect and master them.This is of course easier said than done. In the past many golfers have had to struggle for decades trying to get their golf swing right with poor results at best. Most hardly ever achieved a good consistent golf swing, let alone getting to understand the key rotary movements in the golf swing motion.However in recent years a short-cut of sorts has emerged where golf specific exercises which include both strength building and stretch exercises have worked miracles in...

One of the toughest golf shots for most golfers is from the green side sand trap mainly for two reasons; 1) a golfer rarely practices their bunker shots, 2) they don't know the correct technique to hit from the sand trap. Here's a really simple golf tip to hit a sand trap shot when the bunker is firm with a medium to small lip and you have some green to work with. What I like to do in these cases is use a 7 or 8-iron to chip the golf ball out of the bunker. Noticed how I said chip the ball instead of blast the ball. This is important because you want to hit the golf ball first as you would with a chip shot. The idea is to get the ball rolling on the green as soon as possible so it can run out to the...

Whoever coined the phrase, "It's a Dog's Life" wasn't familiar with 21st century dogs. Time was when the average canine slept outside, ate whatever scraps of food were tossed his way, and if he was lucky, was thrown the occasional bone. He was even expected to earn his keep!Times have changed. As the world has grown more affluent, so have our pets. We're obsessed with keeping our canine companions happy, healthy, and properly accessorized. So much so that many of us worry about our own welfare less than that of our dog. This didn't happen overnight-- the trend started decades ago.Take, for example, my grandmother Rose. During the 60's and 70's, Rose and Henry discovered cruise vacations. On every...

There is really one basic athletic motion which is used in all of athletics. The golf swing is golf's version of this athletic motion. It is the same basic motion that is used to hit a tennis ball, throw a football, kick a soccer ball, or break a rack in pool.To describe the athletic motion, let's take a look at the baseball pitcher.

Professionals advocate an open stance for the short golf shots. From 100 yards in to the pin. I have messed around with this over the years, not being able to make up my mind which is more successful for me. You will either like or not like what I am about to say.An open stance is when your feet and hips are set up along a line to the left of the target, while the club blade is directed directly towards the target.When making such shots, you want your body movement reduced to a minimum. With most of your weight on your left foot for the duration of the shot.Standing with an open stance will help you achieve this.Also, an open stance will help you to hit from in to out with little thought about...

Most golfers swing at the ball, but never really THINK about what they did wrong, or more importantly, what they did right.Thinking about the possible corrections usually will not work because there's always a little wrist cock, or a certain turning angle that could have influenced the good or bad result.What a system does for your game is it allows you to proactively analyze each shot after you hit it and realize the result, good or bad.For example, I hit the ball and it slices.
