Recently, I had an opportunity to play a few rounds in part because we had family in town visiting. And well, golf is a must when our family gets together.

So, how did I do?

I went out and shot an 86 which needless to say is about 14 strokes better than my average. And the crazy part is that I was hitting the ball striaght (even with a draw at times) and over 20 yards longer  for the first time in over 15 years.

I thought it was fluke until I saw similar results with my last four rounds.

My secret?

While I didn’t play or practice for nine months, I studied the Purepoint Golf System. If you haven’t heard of Bobby Eldridge or PurePoint Golf keep reading.

Purepoint Golf has quickly become the #1 golf instruction system on the internet simply because it works.  Their secret is that they keep the golf simple and teach in a way that is next to possible to forget.

I used to get caught up in trying to swing like the pros which only made my game worse. Today, I can approach the first tee with confidence – setting up my body for the middle of the fairway (I used to set-up at almost a 45-degree angle to compensate for my slice) and putting the ball in a position to score immediately.

And perhaps the best part about Purepoint Golf’s simple golf swing DVDs is that they have the best guarantee in the business today. If you’re not playing the best golf of your life after using their system, they’ll refund your money and put an extra $100 in your pocket no questions asked.

No gimmics here.

So, if you’re serious about changing your game forever, I urge you to check out these full swing golf tips today. You won’t be disappointed.

Pros focus their time and energy during this phase of the game picking out their target and visualizing the type of shot they want to use to get it there. Most amateurs spend this time focusing on all of the little details for how they will make their next swing. Multiple swing thoughts equals tension which is almost always a swing killer.

Even if you’re not a pro, you have a lot to gain by minimizing your thought process during the pre-shot routine. Instead of trying to force yourself into hitting the perfect straight ball, pick out your target and focus on aligning yourself for your normal ball flight. Then visualize the flight pattern of your golf ball for the alignment your have taken.

The old adage of mind over matter works on the golf course!

Thanks and have a great day, Michael

You take too long of a backswing with your putter on a short putt, realize that you have made a mistake mid swing and try to correct it by decelerating your putter through the ball.

Sound familiar?

Here’s a golf swing tip that you can take to the practice green that will help you accelerate through the ball on short putts.

Place a tee a few inches behind where you address the golf ball. With the tee in place, it will limit your backswing and force you to accelerate through the ball to get it to the hole.

This drill will help promote greater rhythm in your putting stroke and alignment on your follow-through.

Good luck, Bryan

One of the main reasons that golfers hit behind the ball is that they don’t trust the loft of the club to get the golf ball into air. And a lot of things will break down quickly in your swing when you try to loft the ball with your swing.

The most common mistake golfers make is that they leave their weight on the back foot and tilt their spine backwards thinking that it will help launch the ball. When your body is in this position during the downswing, you are almost always guaranteed to release your wrists too early causing the club to hit the ground before the ball.

If you haven’t already figured out the swing tip here, the first step is to trust the loft of the club.

• The first move of your downswing is to shift your weight forward;
• Think about swinging to a finish which means hitting through the ball and ending with your weigth forward and to the left (if you’r right-handed).

And on many days, we’re able to carry over the work from the practice range and get similar results with our golf swing.

But what do you do on those days when you develop a new swing problem on the course that you weren’t expecting?

Maybe it’s a slice or even a hook. There are several reasons why this could be happening and today I want to offer up some golf swing tips which can reduce the frustration and bad results that can easily occur in these situations.

In short, I propose that you go with the hand your dealt that day. While some of you may be able to diagnose the breakdown in your swing immediately, I propose that you embrace your new problem and use alignment to improve the results of your ball striking. This is much easier to implement on the fly and will likely cause you much less frustration during the round.

• Hooking the ball from the fairway – Set-up to the left side of the green (right if you’re a lefty)
• Slicing the ball from the fairway – Set-up to the right of the green (left if you’re a lefty)
• Hooking the ball off the tee – Place your tee in the middle of the tee box and use an open stance at set-up (placing your back foot further away from your body in relation to your front foot)
• Slicing the ball off the tee – Place your tee in the middle of the tee box and use a closed stance at set-up (stepping away from the ball with your back foot so that your toes are parallel to the middle of your front foot)

These tips aren’t meant as long term solutions to your golf swing, but are valuable golf swing tips to have in your toolbox when you need them on the course. To learn more about creating a golf swing sequence with more consistency and better results, take a look at the Simple Golf Swing today.

Good luck, Michael

This first step is to review what actually generates generates power in the golf swing. Some of these items will be good common sense but the last few will shed light on the areas that are commonly misunderstood by most golfers.

1. Solid ball contact on the sweet zone of your club, not the toe or heel;
2. Making sure that you hands rotate through impact;
3. Using proper weight in concert with your hands through impact; and
4. Understanding that a club face that is down at your follow through will equal more power. Conversely, a club face that is open through your follow-through will equal less power.

With that in mind, let’s add another 10-15 yards off the tee.

1. Use your normal pre-shot routine making sure that you bend at the hips;
2. Use a closed stance, which will mean placing your back foot so that your toes are parallel to the middle of your front foot (it will feel like you’re stepping away from the ball with you back foot);
3. Shift your weight forward a bit, placing 60% on your front foot; and
4. Keep your knee bend at set-up the same as your normal swing.

From there, take your normal swing concentrating on shifting your weight and hands through the ball as mentioned above.

If you’d like to learn more about how long distance golf drivers actually do it, we have a DVD that focuses exactly on this point. Check it out today and I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Best of luck, Michael

I can think of few shots that can intimidate the amateur golfer more than hitting out the bunker (okay, maybe whiffing on the first tee would rank higher). And like the pitching tips from yesterday, much of what I’ll share today will seem a bit counter-intuitive.

But stay with me, there’s a method to the madness…

The most common results of a poor bunker shot are a line drive over the green or having the ball move just a few inches forward in the sand. The last result usually happens because the golfer is afraid of hitting it over the green.

Let’s start with the set-up.

1. Position the ball across from your front heel

2. Like for most pitch shots, place about 75% of your weight on your front foot

3. And point the grip end of your club towards your belt buckle.

Now that you the proper set-up, you’ll want to keep your weight forward during the backswing and follow-through. This will help you hit down through the sand which is key to a good bunker shot.

Having the proper set-up is your first step to developing a reliable result from the bunker.

Good luck, Michael Kosmala

Have you ever paid attention to the position of your chin as you prepare to swing your golf club? Most golfers who struggle with their backswing keep their chin too far down. Okay, so why does this matter?

Keeping your chin too far down during your backswing prohibits your shoulders from making the proper shoulder turn. Instead of the back shoulder turning around the body, a golfer who has their chin down swings up because their head is blocking their shoulders from turning.

While it is not impossible to hit the ball this way, I can guarantee that you’ll always struggle with consistency.

3 Step Drill – Keep Your Chin Up

The next time you go out to the range, give this drill a try to see if this is one of the reasons you have been struggling with your ball striking.

1. At address before you hit the ball, pick up you chin 1 or 2 inches.

2. Remember that your back shoulder should turn around your body.

3. Take your normal swing and experiment with your chin position to find the position that works best for you.

Good luck and let me know how it works for you!

They showed Woody Austin warming up on the practice range with a golf ball under his right foot. So why would he do this? As it turns out, it relates to my recent posts on how to shift your weight properly in the golf swing.

You see, placing a ball under your right foot (left if your left-handed like me) helps keep your weight from shifting back on your swing. And it’s heartening that even the pros have to work on this aspect of your game!

If you can hit from the grass at your local range, simply press a golf ball into the ground so that roughly 50% of it is sticking out of the ground. As you get into your stance make sure that the ball sits underneath your back heel.

If your local practice range uses mats, you can substitute a golf ball with your golf towel. Follow the same principles making sure that your towel is folded so that it is roughly 1 inch off the ground.

With our golf ball or towel in place, simply take your normal swing.

Give it a try the next time you hit the range and you’ll be surprised at how helpful this simple drill can be to developing more accurate ball striking.
