“Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course, the space between your ears.” -Bobby Jones

Putt with Your Eyes Closed!                                                                                                                                                                                 

Can you play golf with your eyes closed? You’d be surprised. By practicing putts with your eyes shut, it’s easier to feel body movements. You should sense your shoulders working like a pendulum. Next thing, you’ll hear the ball hitting the bottom of the cup!

  When you putt Keep Your Head Still!                                                                                                                                                                                                                            
A still head is crucial to solid contact and consistent putting. Focus on keeping your head still well after impact. Head movement causes the shoulders to open and your putter to cut across the ball. Also, try putting with your eyes closed. You’ll be amazed at the results!

Check Your Vs!

Many things can cause a slice, but most often the grip is the source of the trouble. Here’s how to fix it: Make sure that when looking down at address, you can see the first two knuckles of your left hand and a “V” formed between the thumb and forefinger pointing toward your right shoulder. With the right hand, have the “V” pointing toward your chin or slightly to the right shoulder. It works!

Don’t Choke it to Death!

Many golfers think they have to grip it hard to hit it hard. Actually, a tense muscle is a slow muscle! Clubhead speed is crucial for distance, and light muscles can work faster. On a scale of 1-10, try to attain a grip pressure of 5 or 6. Grip it light to hit it far!
