Golf Tips For Beginners - Putting Tips

Often we tend to remember the driver tee off that did not cross the ladies tee, the duffed shot that took out an excessively large divot from the fairway, or the OB tee offs. If we're serious about our scores, then we also need to remember that one of the most important clubs in our bag is the putter.

The putter is used more then any club in the bag and if we want to win that Golf bet we have going with out Golfing buddies, the putter is a club we want to get good at.

Here are some tips to help you become a good putter.

Putting Tip #1:

Have a gentle grip on the putter. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being a strangle hold, our grip pressure would be around a 4. Tight muscles produce tension and this will produce a jerk in our backswing when we take away the putter. This prevents consistency in our putting stroke and prevents us from producing the right distance control.

Putting Tip #2:

Just before the takeaway of the putter face, lift the putter just slightly off the ground. Again, this helps prevent us jerking the putter away because of friction with the ground.

Putting Tip #3:

Place the ball just beneath the left eye. The hands are in front of the inner thigh. Doing this consistently allows us to have a consistent putting stroke and distance control.

Putting Tip #4:

Have a pre putt routine. Having such a routine allows you to calm your nerves and block out the distractions around you. Putting is about feel and the less tense you are, the more fluid your putting stroke will be.

Hope these tips help your putting stroke. Enjoy your game!

Hover Your Driver for More Consistent Drives

Today you are going to learn about hovering your driver. You may be asking what is hovering the driver and how is it going to work right?

I will explain all of that in a second, but lets review why the driver is so important for just a second. As we all know, most holes require a driver and hitting your drives straight and long is what we are all trying to do. Doing this more often sets you up for opportunities to score because you are in the fairway or at least a long way from the tee which improves your chances of getting on in 2.

So what does hovering the driver have to do with this? Hovering the driver behind your ball instead of grounding the club on the ground allows you to be more consistent with your swing and thus will produce better drives overall.

How does this make a difference you may be asking. Well, think about it. When you take the club back when it is resting on the ground, you have to actually alter your swing or the arc of your swing a bit on the way back to the ball to hit up on it like you are supposed to do to maximize your drives. With the large headed drivers and longer tees that everyone is advocating to use, it is difficult to start at a resting point with the club on the ground and then changing the arc or path of your swing in order to hit up on the ball.

Hovering the driver behind the ball before you start at the point where you want to hit the ball off the tee, will allow you to swing freely and actually you will concentrate more on hitting the ball. Think about it. When you have the club hovering, you are really zeroing in on where you want to hit the ball. By doing this, you are programming your mind to just swing back and hit the ball where the club is now and you dont have to do any manipulating of your swing.

Try it the next time you go out and play. I think after you try it for a few holes, you will see it really works.

To your Golfing success,

Nick
