Lets Maximize Your Practice Time For Success

Lets Maximize Your Practice Time For Success

We all have limited time and the only way we can expect to improve our golf is through practice.
With limited time you need to maximize your practice to achieve the best results on the course.

So what should you concentrate on mastering in your game?

The obvious choice for those in the know would be your short game where you learn to become proficient with the use of your pitching wedge and the 8 and 9 irons.

These clubs can not only get you out of trouble from wayward shots, they can negate a lot of the benefit that others might gain with better drives off the tee.

The mid-range approach shots are the ones that unravel most players.
It is not only the novices who struggle to master these clubs though.
I have seen many low handicap golfers lose games from their inability to control the approach shots to the green.

The high trajectory irons of pitching wedge, 8 and 9 iron are the hardest to master and for that reason many people are reluctant to spend the time required to put in the necessary practice.

Let Me Get You Out Of The Bunker

Let Me Get You Out Of The Bunker

Until you discover how to hit out of a golf bunker, You are in for a very frustrating gameof golf. Of course ideally you would not hit into the bunker in the beginning, but even the champions find their balls rolling into sand from time to time. Some courses have so many bunkers that there seems to be no other place for the ball to go.

Even on a course that has only a few bunkers, many golfers find that their balls seem to be attracted to them as if they were magnetic. What is sometimes happening here is that even if consciously we are thinking that we must avoid it, focusing our minds on the bunker leads our body to direct the shot there. Therefore, when you are playing past or over a bunker, ignore it and keep your focus fixed on the flag.

If your ball does land in the sand in spite of your best efforts, here is how to get it out. As ever, the stance is vital. To avoid your feet sinking or slipping, work them into the sand a little to have a firm stance. Keep the weight more toward the left leg if you are right handed, or the right leg if you are left handed.



If you have an open lie, take a sand wedge and keep its face square to the flag as you swing down steeply. Swing and follow-through are smooth and equal. Have the club enter the sand around two inches ahead of the ball and exit an equal distance beyond the ball. The exit must be correct in order to send the ball flying straight up out of the bunker.

To practice this shot, start by marking two lines in the sand, around 4 inches apart. Without using a ball, practice having your sand wedge enter the sand on the first line and exiting on the second line. The depth should be just about a half inch. When you are consistently taking out sand at the right depth and distance, place the ball and repeat the shot so that the ball is simply carried out with the sand.

Pivot One And The Golf Swing

Pivot One And Golf Swing

Players on a golf course use the pivot tactic, which is the way the player moves the body. The player will pivot the head and toes and not the arms or hands.

Pivots may seem easy to understand for the expert player but to an amateur the motions are extremely complex. Pivots enable the player to move all of his muscles in a second. It is difficult to focus in this short of time.

Another technique is the elbow drill. With the elbow drill, the player is able to slow things down. This drill is the replica of the exact pivot.

The elbow drill demonstrates while reinforcing the golf swing. It is an automatic drill, which gives the player a great feel so that he can repeat his action.

Importance of Hydration – Are You Getting Enough Water?

Importance of Hydration – Are You Getting Enough Water?

One of the aspects that many people fail to address on the golf course is remaining hydrated.

For many reasons, golfers fail to drink enough water to remain sufficiently hydrated and correspondingly their quality of play suffers.

Whether it is due to the inconvenience of needing to go to the toilet, or the fact that most people just don't even think about drinking enough water when they are playing, it is a fact that your game will suffer if you become, even slightly, dehydrated.

You don't need to consume gallons of water, but you do need to drink sufficient to maintain the correct balance of fluids in your body.

The hotter the climate where you are playing, the more likely you will need to address this issue, as you will be losing a lot more moisture from your body when playing in hot conditions.

It's quite simple to carry a water bottle around with you and get in the habit of taking a small sip before or after each time you play a shot.
