Happy Golfing!

Many golfers think that over-swinging automatically creates more power, that there is a direct ratio between the size of the swing and the power it generates. But this thinking is wrong.

You get maximum power only by swinging within the confines of your feet.

There are two basic rules governing this:

1. You do not want to let your weight to be on the outside of your right foot during the backswing
2. You do not want your weight on the outside of your left foot until after you make contact with the ball

Do you want to know a common trademark of golfers who have the knack for sending the ball flying with phenomenal distance? It’s the turning of the hips to the left during the downswing, while at the same time extending the right arm through the swing.

Here is a quick drill that can help you accomplish this:

1. Start by teeing up the drive in your normal stance.

2. Now set the ball down off of your left heel (and/or opposite of the left armpit).

3. Without moving your stance, reach down and slide the ball towards your target at approximately the same distance of the grip.

4. Tee up your ball at that very spot, which should be 10 to 12 inches closer to the hole. Your address for the ball should be back where your normal position was at.

5. Now to finally hit the ball you will have to move the hips to the left so your arms will be able to “reach” the ball. This will invariably cause your right arm to extend.

This drill should be practiced at least 30 times before hitting the ball in its normal position. By that time you should have made significant improvement in your distance.

There isn’t a single golfer in the world that would not like to add more distance to the ball. Ask Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, or Steve Stricker if they want more distance and I guarantee you they would all say yes!

Here Is A Tip

A very simple tip on helping you get that extra yardage out of your drives is to learn to turn your shoulders during the backswing.

Are you seeing too many angles when you stand over a putt?  Have you checked to see if you may be lined up incorrectly? Your conscious alignment may be at war with your subconscious sense of straightness, and your putting stroke is caught in the middle as your body tries to issue a correction.

Pick a hole on a flat spot on the practice green and drop your ball the few feet from the hole.  Stand behind the ball and line up the putt.

Looking up or peeking to see if the ball goes into the hole is a sure way to miss a putt. Resist the temptation to watch the ball. Keep your head still over the ball and stare down at the empty spot the ball he used to occupy long before you hit the putt.

Listen to hear if the putt falls. You may also catch yourself, one afflicted with the yips, watching your putterhead go back away from the ball and come back through contact.

Don’t allow your eyes to follow the putterhead during the stroke. To help focus on the ball, pick a small, noticeable mark on the ball to look at.

Because the major contributors to the yips are tension, anxiety, and ack of confidence, one way to help rid yourself of the yips is to empty your mind.

Play in the subconscious - forget about the stroke, forget about the results, and forget about the circumstances. Just play, in the literal sense of the word.

If you step inside your local pub to play darts or shoot some pool, you probably do not get all bogged down in your technique when you toss the darts or set up for your corner shot.

Of all of the miss/hit shots in golf, the shank is probably the most dreadful. The shank happens when you make contact with the ball using the hosel of the club.

One of the main causes of the shank is standing too close to the ball at address as it crowds you. The second reason for a shank is shifting your weight forward on your left foot before making impact, causing the hosel of the club to hit the ball.

The key is to set up evenly, and when you hold your club, be sure that there is just over a fist’s length of space between the end of the grip and your body.

Creating consistent shots in golf is a must. What happens with a lot of players is that, as you look from down the line, the golf club has a tendency to get too vertical on the downswing.

It leads to taking too much turf, steep divots, and a ball spinning off to the right. ll of this is influenced by your setup. For example, if you have too much bend in the upper body, and the arms are extended far away from the body, there is a lot of tilt.
