Golf or bowling?  It’s not a good sign if your wife thinks you went bowling instead of golfing when you tell her you shot ninety nine!

Left-to-right putt

June 27, 2015 Posted by Matt

puttAvoid a left-to-right putt.  A common mistake for right-hand golfers is to cut the ball when making a left-to-right breaking putt.  It is a common tendency to do this, but the cut spin will make the ball come up short and roll to the right of the hole.  When you are putting, pick an aiming point to the left of the hole and strike the ball as if you were hitting it dead straight.  Let the slope turn your ball and not the cut that you place on it with your putter face.  Be careful not to open your stance too much to the left; this encourages a cut stroke.

Smack that fried egg

June 16, 2015 Posted by Matt

Fried egg sand shotA “fried egg” lie is one that has your ball in a crater of sand in a bunker.  A normal bunker shot is a very difficult way to play this lie.  A better way is to smack the sand behind the ball so that it jumps up and out and then onto the green.  Play the ball a little back in your stance with your sand wedge.  Lift the club almost straight up on the backswing and then slam it into the sand right behind the ball.  The sand will act as an explosion that will move the ball forward, up, and out.  Practice this shot before trying it on the course.

Good Chip Shots

June 4, 2015 Posted by Matt

good chip shotsTo hit good chip shots, you should feel as if your left hand is in charge of the shot.  The shaft leans forward, and the left hand holds the club firmly.  Let the left arm make a rocking motion from your shoulder to move the club back and forth.  Tuck your right elbow into your side to prevent the right hand and arm from coming out and over during the stroke.  Accelerate through the shot while keeping your left hand flat and firm, and the ball will always start on line.  Control the distance by length of your follow-through.
