Make Your Short Game Practice Fun and Challenging

Since we know that approximately 75% of the shots you will take will be from within 100 yds, PRACTICE. PRACTICE, PRACTICE the short game. Just try to make it FUN and challenging. Create games for yourself with different short game shots and try to keep score to track your improvement.

Like all good players do, try to make every shot inside of 30 yards. Maybe try one shot with a wedge, the next from the same place with a 9 iron or other club. Try opening and closing the face on some shots, until you can get up and down from many different places.

Then try other ways to have fun with practice, play your buddies for braggingh rights, closest to the pin from anywhere around the green.  And remember this, “amateurs teach amateurs to be amateurs”, so take some clinics and group lessons to learn a lot and then go practice what you have learned from the professionals.


Good luck and have FUN !!!!!!!!

See Your Golf Swing Improve!

Many of the lessons that I give I take a video recording of the swing during at the beginning of the lesson and at the end of the lesson. Not all students do I use the video during the lesson as many don't require the use of it, and many lessons I use judgment on if it the best thing for the student to see the video.

I use the Swing View Pro analysis software to help students realize their potential as golfers. I set the camera on very specific angles to capture the angle that I need to best study the swing. I make sure that I get the same angle every time, so I can show the student direct comparisons from one swing to the next.

 

Many students get an email wrap-up from me after the golf lesson to remind them of the major lesson points and I attach a video clip of their golf swing with any notes about it for them to keep and review.

Making Good Contact 

This is the most important part of what we do when we swing the club.

It is the purpose for much of golf instruction for the full swing and short game. For many golfers who do not make good contact with the ball, this is the area of primary concern.  Poor contact is or has been an issue for everyone who has ever played the game, because until the contact is good - no other full shot practice will be helpful and the game will be a major challenge.
