Golf Instruction

Golfers sometimes get to a certain point in their game and seem to get stuck right there. If you are stuck shooting no better than 90, there is something you can do that can easily drop five strokes off your game.

Chances are very good that when you shoot right around 90 you are capable of making a par or better on every hole. The reason your score tends to rise above 90 is that you have two or three holes that are disasters. How many times do you get an 8 on a par 4 immediately after getting par on the previous hole. Concentrate and play EVERY shot like it was the first. Don’t think about the last bad shot. A positive attitude goes a long way.

Short game refers to the golf shots that are aiming at the hole from less than fifty yards away. Short game also usually refers to the shots that are hit with some type of wedge and the putter. The majority of the short game consists of putting, but chipping is a major part of the short game. Although some players believe that the short game isn’t as important as distance and power, the short game requires that players be accurate and precise when hitting short shots aimed to go into the hole. To be successful at golf, it takes a superior short game to make your ball into the hole in as few chips and putts as possible. Many of the best professionals on tour contribute their success to their amazing short game.
