Golf Games And Golf Tips Online

This week I’m in Pennsylvania working with a couple of our players on the Hooters Tour. While this certainly isn’t as glamorous as the PGA Tour, these players are nonetheless playing for money, living their dream and pursuing the PGA Tour.

While there is certainly a world filled with these tours and players, they all have the same goals in mind: to be the best they can be.

They all work diligently on their short game, ball striking, mental game, and getting their set make-up just right as well as keeping their bodies in shape for what is a long season. Strength and flexibility can mean the difference in making the “big show” (Read: PGA Tour) or staying in the “minor leagues.” With this in mind these players all have something that is inherent to all golfers: the search for perfection!

While having perfect mechanics isn’t a guarantee that one will make it on Tour, perfect mechanics do produce perfect shots.

One thing that I see a lot are players that really don’t understand how the body, arms, and hands really work in a golf swing. If the body out races the arms then a push shot is likely and if the arms and hands out race the body then shots that are pulled will be the norm. The hands can make up for a faulty pivot motion to a certain extent but why make that adjustment if you don’t have to. There is a proper sequence that is based upon physics that you can rely on.

The golf stroke is a series of events that take place which produces a “lagging” of components. Let me explain. Think of the golf stroke as a gear train that starts from the ground up. In the start down, the hips rotate back toward the target while the hands and arms remain at the top of the backstroke. This applies pressure from the upper left arm to the chest – sort of gluing it to the chest. The trunk now follows with the right shoulder moving down plane and the arms going along for the ride.

So now you have the gear train effect, hips pull the trunk, trunk pulls the arms, arms pull the hands and club. This continues until the ball is struck and the player gets to what we refer to as follow through – the place in the swing that both arms are straight. From there all of the components are basically released and have come into alignment with each other.

At our Medicus Golf Institute Golf schools we train players on the physics of rotation and the geometry of the circle. Now that may sound complicated but it really isn’t once we put into lay terms and actions.

To really store up power try using this procedure above and you will see an increase not only in power but in accuracy!

The two major priorities of most golfers are more power and accuracy.

For optimal learning, these priorities must be addressed both academically and physically. Knowledge should be conveyed to the student through lecture, scientific demonstration, swing-training aids and video analysis. When done properly, players will come to fully understand their swings.

Power

There are four separate sources of power in the golf swing, definable and distinguishable:

1. Proper uncocking of the left wrist.

2. Blasting of the left arm off the chest with the body pivot.

3. Synchronized roll of the left wrist through impact.

4. The driving power of the right forearm.

When the player learns the proper utilization, application and synchronization of these power sources, he or she will solve the mysteries of power!

Accuracy

Two factors that determine the accuracy of all golf shots:

1. Control of the flat left wrist through impact, for clubface alignment.

2. Consistent orbit of the clubhead on the proper plane.

The player must learn to swing the clubhead, shaft and hands up and back then down and out on the same inclined plane time after time. He or she must also learn to control the clubface with the flat left wrist, thereby adding to the precision of all shots.

Players that hit it far, but not straight, should continue to work on becoming straighter but that doesn’t mean they should gear down to do so. It just means that they need to have a different set of components to match what they are doing.

An example would be a player that is extremely long but try as they may they cannot play by swinging at a smoother tempo. And even if they do the very time someone hits it by them they will arch their backs, give a quick snort, rare back and blast it! This usually results in missed fairways and two-way misses or they try to make up every stroke they have lost when the par-5′s come up. Both of these cases are score breakers.

I don’t care how good your short game is you need to put the ball in play. Short game experts will tell you that the short game is the most critical part of the game. But if you cannot hit a fairway what good is making that 35 footer for bogey!

I do agree that short game is where you will lower the most shots, but the driver, wedge, and putter make up approximately 78 percent of all of the shots! Note that driver sets up the approach shot and it’s always better to hit approachs from the short grass then the long stuff.

If you’re having trouble keeping the ball in play from the tee go find the tightest driving hole you can, stay there all day and hit drivers until you find a way to keep it between the trees.

A lot of players seem to have trouble taking their “driving range” game to the course. We hit it so pure on the range but yet when the bell rings and we go to the golf course there is a complete change of personality.

A perfectly logical, smooth swinger transforms into the “Hulk” and everything that they have been working on to get their games in shape suddenly disappears.

Most players have a range game and an on-course game, but can’t seem to fit them together. The key is to practice like you play.

If you are quick and aggressive on the course then you need to practice the same way. There is no use practicing something that you’re not going to use and put into play, so stop beating yourself up and get in the game!

Golf practice time is just for that – practice.

If you are extremely quick on the course then practice that way and if you are a slow smooth swinger of the club then practice that. Whatever your “style” and tempo, are spend time rehearsing them and quit wasting time trying to do something that is different then normal.

I have seen players over and over again spend time working on their swings and it looks great on the practice tee. But when it’s time to tee it up their games change completely. It’s really not the players fault – they don’t know any better but what if you practiced like you play. You will see definite changes in scoring and ball striking, you’ll hit more fairways and greens and make fewer putts.

For the past few days I have been watching golfers play in extremely windy conditions. Now these players are not PGA Tour caliber but they do have something in common: they must learn how to control their golf ball in the wind.

Here are a few things you’ll need to know about playing in the wind.

take a wider stance – The wind can move you around and affect your balance. To counteract that, widen your stance. This lowers your center of gravity and helps to maintain a solid base into the ground.

Swing easier – The harder you try and hit the golf ball the more spin you put on it. The more spin the more the wind affects the shot.

Take more club – Your normal “150″ club probably isn’t going to go that far when hitting into the wind. But down wind you could take a smaller club and get the same distance.

Shorten your stroke – The longer your backstroke the more chance you have of over swinging and having balance problems. By keeping the backstroke shorter you’ll have more control.

Let the golf ball “ride the wind” – This one is a source of controversy. Some players like to try and “work” the ball into the wind, which straightens out the flight. But almost all great wind players let the ball ride the wind. If it’s blowing right to left then they will hit a shot that goes in the direction of the wind.

You’ll also notice that the European players use a much wider stance for putting then do their US counterparts. This wider stance does help make the players foundation much more solid and since the Europeans usually play in these conditions we should take a page out of their notebook.

The next time you’re playing in windy conditions use these tips and have a more solid ball striking round.

In the past few years we have seen driver head sizes increasing dramatically. The “theory” is that if the clubhead is bigger then the club will be easier to hit. Great theory – alas, there’s only one problem with it. Anytime you increase the size of something, in this case a clubhead, whenever you miss the sweetspot then there is twisting – and any twisting cuts down on distance and control of the golf ball.

If you have a clubhead size that is four inches on either side of the middle, then you will have up to four inches of twisting. But if you have two inches on either side of the sweet spot, then there can only be up to two inches of twisting! This reduces the amount of twisting and tightens up the shot dispersion – and that means more distance and ball control.

Golf club manufacturers are finally realizing this and most are offering smaller heads now.

I personally believe that in the next couple of years we will see driver heads under the 400 cc size. In fact, Katsuhiro Miura, designer and owner of Muira Golf, has done extensive testing and has found that any head size larger than 400 cc actually produces shorter distances.

Miura, long known for his craftsmenship and quality, makes clubs for several PGA Tour players under the brand name of their equipment sponsor and rumor has it that there is a top-10 player in the world rankings that is one of those.

Before you jump out and buy the next “greatest” and biggest driver available on the market today, step back and take a look at what else is being offered. Do yourself a favor and get a smaller head for better control.

How many times have you taken a lesson and walked away feeling unfulfilled, Knowing that you just didn’t get it?

It may not be your fault!

The majority of golf teachers work strictly on the mechanics of the golf stroke. And while that certainly plays an important role, there is something else that absolutely must happen for the mechanical aspects to work.

You see there is a golf handicap and a physical handicap. Your golf handicap may be a 5 but the physical one may be 30! What does this mean? In simple terms your body may not allow you to do certain things.

As an example: You might not have any external rotation of the right forearm that would preclude getting your right elbow in front of the right hip.

Of, if your hips are limited in flexibility and rotational motion then turning them through the ball will be next to impossible. If the left side of your body is weaker then the right then it will not provide enough support through the ball, it will collapse instead.

So without the knowledge of what you can do physically, trying to work on mechanics is an absolute waste of time.

Players virtually never make poor motions because they want to, but rather their bodies dictate what they can and can not do.

When working with an golf instructor be sure to ask them if they offer a physical evaluation to go with their teaching. Whether they are qualified to do this or they farm it out makes no difference. But what does make a difference is the interpretation of the data.

Remember it’s not your fault if you are having swing issues. You want to do something different but your body just won’t allow it.

We’ve all, at some point in our golf careers, had a match or a tournament that we’ve either won or really wanted to win. What separates winning from finishing behind the winner? Here are several things that players need to do to put themselves in a position to win. Whether you are a low and or high handicapper, there are commonalities to look for.

First you must play within yourself. This means that you don’t attempt any shots that you have not practiced many times beforehand. If you are a fader of the golf ball and the shot calls for a draw then don’t try to hit this shot. Play to your strength and not your weakness.

Secondly, play the golf course and not your opponent. This is where many players get caught up in the moment. They try to keep up with their opponent in driving distance, hitting clubs that they cannot get to the green, trying shot shapes that don’t fit their stroke pattern and a host of others things.

Thirdly you must prepare for the event. This means charting the course and the greens even if you have played the course many times before. Develop a strategy for how you are going to play the course and pick the holes that you can attack and the ones you will need to be a little more conservative on. If you are an aggressive type of personality then you must attack, attack, attack! But pick your spots to be aggressive.

Winners see things happening in a positive manner. Players that don’t win see negative images instead. They think about things like, “Don’t hit it to the right, there’s water over there.” Instead of recognizing that there is a problem down the right side and saying “Ok, let’s keep it down the left side.”

Players also need to check their equipment. Are your loft and lie angles correct for you? Have your wedges been knocked weak? If you play a lot of golf or practice a lot you need to have these checked on a regular basis. PGA Tour players have theirs checked every week and adjust them based on course conditions or the shot shape and trajectory they will need for that particular course.

Some other things you will need are plenty of golf balls, tees, a marker to mark your golf ball, new golf gloves – if you wear them – clean grooves on your irons, an up-to-date rule book and making sure before you reach the first tee that you have counted your clubs to make sure that you have no more than 14. Ask Ian Woosnam about this one!

Be prepared and get your game face on!

By leaning the weight forward you sharpen the angle of attack and make it almost impossible to hit the chip fat!

Now it’s time to make the stroke by simply moving the club back until the butt end of the club reaches the middle of your right thigh. But do not shift your weight – the weight stays forward. From here rotate your torso and allow it bring the hands and club into Impact with no additional usage of hands – no flipping of the golf club!

After impact keep rotating to follow through and keep the clubhead below the hands.

We had a player that was scared to death of chipping and after working with him doing exactly what I have described above he went out the next day on the golf course and holed four chip shots! He came in all excited and couldn’t wait to tell us what had happened. Shortly after he came in, a couple of the players that were out with him came and asked what we had done to change his chipping so dramatically. We showed them a couple of things and they asked how they could attend one of our Short Game Schools, and one of them is a golf professional from another course nearby.

Use this procedure and you will lose all fear of chipping. Who knows you may even make a couple!

A lot of players are scared to death of chipping – and for good reason. They have experienced the full gamut of frustration. Sculling the ball over the green, laying the old Hormel on it and watching the little divot go farther than the ball!

The good news is with the proper technique you can become a chipping wizard!

Set up is critical for any shot and at the Medicus Golf Institute we refer to this as “Set up for success.” Address and set up are the two areas that anyone can look as good as a PGA Tour pro, so make sure that you get these two correct before you move the golf club.

Now let’s talk about chipping.

In chipping you don’t want any hand or wrist action, so the first thing you will need to do is place the club in the left hand between the thumb and heel pads. This will eliminate any wrist movement and also keep the left arm and clubshaft in one line. Now add your right hand and use any style of grip that is comfortable; overlapping, interlocking, ten finger, or reverse overlap. A lot of players use the reverse overlap since that is what they use in their putting stroke.

Once the grip is completed you now want to take your address and setup position.

Start by placing the ball location off the back ankle, keep your shoulders square to the target line, narrow your stance, and pull your left foot back to give the visual of an open stance. Keep your head in the middle of the stance! This will place the head in front of the golf ball. Then lean your body and clubshaft toward the target until you have 80 percent of your weight forward.
