Golf Putting Tips – Save strokes with effective lag putting

By Bryan Goldstein · Comments (1)
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

While there are days where I hit a few approach shots inside 10 feet to the pin, it’s more likely that I will leave myself with a long putt.  And this is where strokes can add up very quickly for the amateur golfer.

Think about it, how many times have you had a putt of 30+ yards that has resulted in a 3 putt? Or worse yet, a 4 putt. How can you shoot a round in the 80s if you have too many holes like this.

Here’s a few golf putting tips that will help turn those 3 or 4 putts into 2 putts more often than not.

As you line up for your long putt, make sure that you spend time reading the area around the green. Remember that as the ball gets closer to the hole it will be moving slower and any misread around the hole can put your ball several feet off your original line. This may sound simple, but you don’t want to overlook this step.

My goal for these putts isn’t to sink it but rather to get it within 3 feet of the hole. 

Learn more about the golf putting tips that will have you sinking putts with ease and playing with the confidence of the pros.

Golf Chipping Tips – Using Your Putting Stroke For The Bump And Run

By Bryan Goldstein · Comments (0)
Monday, May 5th, 2008

About 12 years ago when I started to pick up the game again since playing as a kid I played a lot of rounds with my father-in-law. He’s not a flashy player, but he always gets it done and plays with a great amount of consistency.

One golf chipping tip that he introduced to me that has served me well has been to use my putting stroke to chip the ball when I’m around the greens. This won’t work from the deep rough, but it’s a great tool to have in your toolbox when playing from the intermediate rough or fringe.

Take your club of choice and start by setting up a little closer and more upright to the ball. You may want to experiment with the ball position, but I place it anywhere from the middle of my stance to the inside heel of my back foot.

Once your set-up is complete, you’ll want to keep more weight on your front foot just like any other pitch shot then simply take your putting stroke.

I always try to pick out a spot about a third of the way to the hole and let it roll from there.

Why go for the fancy shot when you can get consistent results with a more simpler approach? And if your nerves are running high during the round, it is sure great to know you can use this easy set-up and get great results.

Cheers!

Golf Chipping – How to change trajectory by altering your grip pressure

By Bryan Goldstein · Comments (0)
Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I was reading through some of my old Golf Digests today and came across this tip from Jim Flick.  I like this golf swing tip in large part because it keeps things simple. Check it out.

Jim  was reflecting on the 1969 British Open, specifically recalling the brilliant short game play by Davis Love Jr., the late father of current PGA tour pro Davis Love III.

If you’ve watched the British Open over the years you know the wind can play a large factor in the outcome of this major.  Following a spectacular week of pitching in 1969, Davis Love Jr. shared that one of his secret weapons was his grip pressure on golf chipping.

It turns out if Davis wanted to hit a high pitch shot he would grip the club lightly and conversely would grip it tighter if he wanted a lower trajectory bump and run type shot. 

Gripping the club lightly allows the club to release and naturally adds loft as it glides under the ball at impact.  A firmer grip helps keep your hands in front of the ball at impact with a secure clubface position through impact.

It’s so easy to over analyze all aspects of our game and I know that I will give this simple golf chipping tip a try the next time I hit the practice range.

 To better golf, Michael

Golf swing tips – Using visualization to drop your golf score

By Bryan Goldstein · Comments (0)
Thursday, May 1st, 2008

One key difference between the golf pro and the average amateur golfer occurs during the pre-shot routine.

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
