Trouble In Deep Wet Rough

When faced with a difficult lie from deep rough plan your recovery shot to get yourself back in play, analyze the lie and choose your shot based on the conditions of the grass and do not grip the club too tightly

Putting Line Practice Drill

This simple drill helps you get your eyes in the correct putting position, teaches you how to putt down your target line correctly and to read greens

Run Shot Versus Lob Shot

Chipping from off the green is probably an easier shot than pitching but you must play to your strengths and at least practice both shots for when one is not an option

View All Golf Tip Videos

Chip Shots From the Fringe

Keep your body still in the shot and play it like a putt no matter what club you use

Learning Impact Position

Start your practice session by feeling your impact position, make swings that stop at impact and feel the correct position of your hips, legs and arms

Pine Needle Lies

Play a shot on pine needles two ways depending on where the flag is, if you have room to roll it play it like a chip but if the flag is close then set up to play it identical to a bunker shot

Par Four and Five Tee Club Selection

Do not assume that every par four and five is a driver, you need to tee off with the club that is going to leave your next shot in your favorite scoring position, hitting your tee shot too long often hurts your scores

Flexibility

Flexibility as you get older is very important, it lets you wind up your body to hit the ball with more power, and swinging a pole can help you do this as well as fix your release point
