Tip Week 28

That Nerve-Racking 40-Yard Pitch

The most common faults amateurs have when hitting this shot are a long backswing and letting the club decelerate through impact. Don't you make the same mistakes. When facing this type of pitch shot, make a compact backswing and hit through with authority

Tip Week 27

Missing Short Putts?

You're probably looking up, or "peeking," before impact. Next time you putt, wait to listen for the ball to clang the metal cup before looking up.

Tip Week 26

How to Hit a Super Lag Putt

Imagine a washtub, three feet in diameter, with a flagstick in the middle of it. Hit the ball into the tub and you've hit a great lag putt.

Tip Week 25

Stand Tall on Long Putts

If you use too much wrist action and miss-hit long putts, remedy your problem by standing taller to the ball. By not bending as much from the knees, you will encourage a pendulum stroke, controlled mainly with the arms.

Tip Week 24

Go With "Your" Shot

To be a smart course strategist and shoot low scores, you must play "your" shot whenever possible. To determine your most common ball flight, hit 25 shots with a 5-iron from a square stance. The shot you hit most, a fade or draw, is your bread-and-butter shot.

Tip Week 23

Is It Okay to Be Unorthodox?

If you putt successfully with the heel or the toe of the putter off the ground, don't change your action to match that of your favorite pro. Putting is the most individualistic aspect of golf. Don't worry about what others think about your unique style. Do your thing-if it works!

Tip Week 22

Cure for Swaying

If your body sways and you miss-hit shots, set up with your right knee flexed more and pointed slightly inward. Keep that position throughout the backswing.

Tip Week 21

How to Handle Severe Downhill Putts

To guard against hitting the ball too far past the hole, pretend that it is closer to you. The steeper the slope, the closer you should imagine the hole.

Tip Week 20

Extra soft Pitch to a Hard Green

Open the clubface of a lofted wedge, swing the club back outside the target line, swing across the ball coming through.

Tip Week 19

How to Handle Severe Uphill Putts

To encourage yourself to reach the hole, pretend that the hole is about five feet farther away.

Tip Week 18

Putting on Slow Greens

On very slow greens, move the ball forward in your stance. This will encourage you to hit the top portion of the ball and impart overspin to it.

Tip Week 17

Putting Downhill on Fast Greens

In this situation, strike the ball with the lighter toe end of the putterhead to deaden the hit.

Tip Week 16

How to Hit Short Fairway Bunker Shots

Wriggle your feet into the sand slightly to establish a firm foundation for swinging the club smoothly through the ball. Don't dig your feet too deeply into the sand. Otherwise, you'll chop down. Standing taller will also encourage you to pick the ball cleanly off the sand and hit a more solid shot.

Tip Week 15

How to Hit Strong Long Irons

Promote a full backswing turn by turning your left shoulder over your right knee. Promote a powerful hit and fluid follow-through by turning your right shoulder under your chin.

Tip Week 14

Chipping From Sand

If the lie is good, the bunker's lip is low, and you have ample green to work with, you can chip instead of exploding. Play the ball back in your stance with your hands ahead of it. Now just make a pure pendulum stroke, allowing the big muscles of your arms and shoulders to control the action.

Tip Week 13

How to Handle Severe Downhill Putts

To guard against hitting the ball too far past the hole, pretend that it is closer to you. The steeper the slope, the closer you should imagine the hole.

Tip Week 12

Extra soft Pitch to a Hard Green

Open the clubface of a lofted wedge, swing the club back outside the target line, swing across the ball coming through.

Tip Week 11

How to Hit a Low Iron Shot

Set up with the ball just behind the midpoint in your stance and most of your weight on your left foot.

Tip Week 10

How to Play a Middle Iron from Deep Rough

Play the ball back in your stance, with your hands a couple of inches ahead of it. Open the clubface. Swing the club back on an exaggerated upright plane, allowing your wrists to cock quickly. On the downswing, pull the club down hard, smacking the back center portion of the ball with the sweet spot of the clubface.

Tip Week 9

Low Shot Under Branches

To hit a greenside shot under overhanging branches, select a low-lofted club. Keep the lower body quiet while swinging the club back and through fluidly, with your arms controlling the action.

Tip Week 8

Half-Sand, Half-Grass Lie

From this greenside lie, lay the clubface open at address. Swing the club up quickly, allowing your wrists to hinge freely. Hit down more firmly than if you were playing a normal sand shot from the same distance.

Tip Week 7

Quick Draw

If you need to hit a big draw around trees, aim your body to the right of the target (where you want the ball to start its flight). Aim the clubface at your final target (where you want the ball to end its flight). Swing normally. The ball will fly to the right of the trees, then curve sharply left toward the green.

Tip Week 6

How to Hit a High Iron Shot

Set up with the ball off your left instep and most of your weight on your right foot.

Tip Week 5

What to Do If Your Iron Shots lack Power

Promote the strongest possible turn on the backswing by rotating your left shoulder over your right knee. Once you're wound up to the max, encourage the strongest possible hit by unwinding from the ground up.

Tip Week 4

What to Do When the Sand Is Coarse

Deliver the clubhead into a spot closer behind the ball than you would normally.

Tip Week 3

Tee Up on Par-Three Holes

Don't play your tee shots off the grass on par-three holes. Tee up the ball.  A tee raises your level of confidence. Furthermore, it eliminates the risk of hitting a "flyer" over the green.

Tip Week 2

Confidence Booster

The next time you panic on the first tee, recall a powerfully hit accurate drive you once made. That mental image will allow you to make a tension-free, technically sound swing.

Tip Week 1

How High to Tee the Ball When Driving

To promote powerfully hit, accurate shots, tee up so that half of the ball is above the top of the clubface. Just do it, and you'll hit the ball squarely on the upswing.
