If you are seriously considering lowering your scores, then you must take your putting seriously, as roughly half the strokes you play in a round of golf are likely to be on the putting green. However good you are at driving, pitching and chipping, if your putting is not up to standard, you will never make the next level. My Dad told me the famous quote when I was probably about 12 or 13, ?Drive for show putt for dough?, this says it all! That is why it is quite incredible that putting is not often concentrated on.
Tips for setup:
First of all I?d just like to say that there is no one correct putting grip/posture/stroke, there are wide variations, so if your technique is different, don?t worry, some of the top golfers have... |

I like to think we all seemed to have our heroes and greats in our early years. Growing up in front of a television had us dashing around with a sword or packing a six-shooter at our side. Depending on what we were watching at the time, whether it was in front of a television or out on some field watching a football game. We all seemed to mimic someone at one time or another. In our early years finding someone we admired as a Mentor kind of kept the spirit alive in direction and where we are today.
I often wondered back how I caught on to what some people call golf fever. Thinking back I often admired good golfers where I caddied. How I remembered getting excited when I watched a good golfer walk towards the first tee box. Standing... |

Unless you are born a natural golf player, you will need golf instruction if you expect to improve your game. Employing a professional golf pro can help you target the weaknesses in your swing and diagnose your hooks. A professional golfer will be able to share with you some of the secrets of the trade and show you simple mind games that will help you focus better, before and after every shot you take on course. Even the best amateur golfers out there, although they probably don't want to admit it, take tutoring from the pros. Natural born athletes like the Michael Jordan?s and Michael Schmidt?s of the world need help from the pros every once in a while to improve their game by pointing out the slight faults in their back swings or how... |

If peak performance is what you are after then you need to learn how to do a proper golf ball comparison. Just like choosing the right golf clubs, picking the correct ball for you is just a matter of matching the different types of balls with your swing and how you play golf. Golf balls are all the same, aren't they? They may be small, but they are one of the most engineered pieces of golfing equipment.
Have you ever taken a really close look at a golf ball? They have different feels, different densities and different spins resulting in a different action, depending on how you play the game. To get the best out of your game and your golf ball, you need to match each section of the golf ball with your level of skill and style,... |

Watch the pros on Tour and notice how in-control they look at the finish position of the their golf swing. Why? Because they are!
They are in perfect balance. Even the pro who might look a little ?crooked? at the end of the swing has a balanced swing. Vijay, who is slightly bent to the side at the finish position of his driver, is still in perfect balance.
How often do you think an amateur practices or even thinks about his or her finish position? Probably never. I would surmise that once contact has been made with the golf ball, most amateurs? thoughts shift to the ball flight rather than where our body is finishing the swing.
Why is the finish position so important to a successful golf swing? And beyond that being... |
