on your through swing, stay back on your right foot(left if your lefthanded)this will keep your hips from coming out which will make the ball squirt out to the right\n\nalso, make sure when your hands get to the ball that your hands are turning over. that will make a world of a difference...somethin i forget ALOT

When I start hitting the ball heavy I typically move it back about a 1/2 in my stance. I also focus on a point towards the back of the ball and not on the back itself. This should give you a little better contact. \n\nWhen the ball is above your feet you should take one club more and grip down a little bit. I also try to hit cut shots when the ball is above my feet. This helps to prevent pulling the shot. \n\nHope that helps a little.

Timing and club head speed to get that to happen this may help \n\nThere are three checkpoints that deal with your wrist hinge. During your back swing, the top of your swing, and just past impact. Get these positions correct and you’ll hit better shots.\n\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/swing/improve_elliott062904.cfm

Several suggestions for how to improve your game off the tee.\n\n1) Try using a 3-wood instead of a driver. For most high handicap golfers the difference in distance is not a big change, but the accuracy and consistency improve dramatically.\n\n2) Slow and steady on the back swing. While you need to get the club in motion, having a fast backswing just screws up your balance. Practice by taking the club back very slowly and you will see quick improvement.\n\n3) Let the club do the work! Overswinging will only result in topping the ball or having a wicked slice or hook. Establishing a nice easy rythmn will give you the most consistent swing.

When I hit topspin I try to come in fairly level to the ball but always finish rather high wrapping the stroke around my shoulder.  If I hit topspin by coming in too low at first I wind up hitting a loopy topspin shot that has plenty of spin but lacks pace.  This is not always bad, as I sometimes employ this tactic while playing defensively to stay in a point.  Loopy deep topspin shots can force your opponent off the baseline giving you a chance to retake the point.

move up a little in the box and hope you can hit when it STARTS to break..it is just timing it would be better if you can learn to switch hit then that way you can see the ball break toward and you can hit it better...try to go with the pitch ..don't pull it

when chipping...Have most of your weight on your left foot.  Keep your hands ahead of the ball back and through.  Don't break your wrist on the back or forward swing.  If you take the club back a foot...follow through a foot. Think of impact as being crisp.  Choose a club that will get the ball on the green and allow it to roll the rest of the way to the hole.  Most people will do better with a pitching wedge for this type of shot.  But experiment with all clubs to learn the trajectory and feel for each shot.  Practice, practice, and the practice some more.

Two things are happening.\n1) You are hitting the ball with a slightly open face.\nThis alone produces a high shot that starts right and goes right. \n\n2) You are swinging from outside to in and not straight through the ball.\nThis alone produces a shot that starts left and slices right.\n\nCombining the above will produce a high shot that starts out straight but then slices badly once the side spin overcomes the velocity.\n\nRe-check your swingpath and grip.

Chip with SW, PW, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 irons (maybe even 3 wood), from the same spot to the same hole.  Noting the difference in trajectory and roll.  THEN;  see how many different trajectories and rolls you can produce with each club.   Vary; swing path, speed, ball placement, transfer of weight, etc.  Be able to go back to the basic shot with that particular club.  This helps to ingrain feel.  \n\nYou can do similar with shots to distances with the various clubs.  In other words, hit each club to 50 yards, then 100, then 150.  Don't hurt yourself here, don't try to hit a SW 200.  You'll learn to hit half back swing shots and 3/4 shots.  Note the different trajectories and rolls.  \n\nOn the tee, hit a draw.  Hit a fade.  Then hit it straight.  Hit a knock down.  Hit a stinger.  Be creative.\n\nYou can also play the hole backwards.  For instance on a par 4 hit whatever will leave you a full 5 wood in.  Say you hit your 5 wood 190.  The hole is 350 so hit 160 off the tee.    Or cut the distance in half, hit the same club.  Hit 175.  Be creative.  Call it on the tee.  \n\nOn the practice green.   Find the hole closest to the center of the green.  Make putts like the dial of a clock.  Use 3 or 4 balls.  Make one from each spot before you can move on.  Like horse in basketball.  Start at 2 feet, all the way around the clock.  Go to 3 feet, 5, 10, 15, 20 etc.  \n\nI hope you are able to enjoy some of these ideas.  That's the most important part.  ENJOY IT!!!  Good luck.  You can do it.

One summer, I had a part time job helping at a golf course.  I would go out with the greenskeepers (there were 2) early in the morning to move the pins.  They had a map of every green that told them where to put the pins (and where not to put the pins!)  For instance, no pins on inclines that would affect the ball at rest - meaning if you hit a putt, it wouldn't roll back to your feet.  There were 'place' areas and 'do not place' areas indicated for every green.  So place ment can include making the ball travel in odd ways from clubhead to hole, but take a ball and place it near a hole and if it stay still, the hole is properly sited.  If it moves, complain to the greenskeeper.  (Oh, they love that!  Next week 6 inches from the fringe!)

If you are pulling the ball left, it's because you are not swinging straight through the ball.  Maybe just getting you thinking about a good swing path will cure any other related flaws.\n\nMake a box out of six tees by making two parallel rows of three tees each. The rows should be about 12 inches long and 6 inches apart.\nLooks like this:\n* * *\nswing-path \n* * *\nPractice swinging with your driver making the club path go through the box (i.e. through the two parallel rows) without hitting a tee. This exercise will help you see flaws and teach you to swing straight through the ball.\n\nOne additional reason I like this exercise is that when you don't swing right, you have to stop and fix the tee box - penalty.  If you swing right, the box is still there ready to go again and this helps with building muscle memory of the good swing.

Try aiming for the barrel if the first dart go's in. Try throwing for double twenty and when scoring consistently, drop down to treble twenty. Good luck.

1.  What ever method you use make sure when it's your turn to putt, you are ready to go.\n2.  Look at the green from 150 yards away.  Look for the high and low point.  Also pay attention to what happens to the ball when it hits the green.  Watch everyone in the groups.  \n3.  I"m keeping things basic, you can get into grain and other high tech stuff later\n4.  What would happen if you had a hose and started flooding the green.  \n5.  Pay attention to everyone putt\n6.  Find out the  low and high point of the golf course\n\nMaybe the above will help, maybe you can read the greens but the putting  stroke is letting you down.

There's a simple way to check if your wrists are hinging properly:\n\nOn your takeaway, when the club is roughly parallel to the ground and at waist level, stop your swing, if the toe of your club is pointing straight up, you are hinging your wrists correctly and you don't have to worry about it anymore.\n\nI'd like to take credit for this piece of instruction, but I gleaned it from one of Harvey Penick's books ;)
