Go to the driving range and practice a lot more. On the range, you could pretending you are practising and accidentally hit the ball. I use to think that the practice swing is better, too, but in fact it is not as you are not committed to it. Cure your real swing is better.

Shot putts to make sure you accelarte as you hit the ball, set the putter about an 1/2 inch behind the ball.  The trick is to think you have cheated yourself on the back swing so you have to make sure you accelarte the stroke.  That is OK came form the pro at Doral.

Alright..first you need to address the problem. What's wrong with your serve??\nIf it makes it to the net but not over, then your toss probably isn't high enough or your not putting enough power into it. If it's just going crazy, then try hitting it differently(if you hit open hand try closed, if you hit closed try open) Personally I would reccommend serving open hand. One thing that is really important is that you make sure you have enough power. Try lifting wieghts or doing push ups(ick I know) Other than that just make sure you follow through with your form and stuff. Make sure your hand is back, you have the right foot forward, and then just toss, step, swing. If you let me know more details I may be able to help more. Just remember the basics, and practice makes perfect. Good Luck!!!

Make sure you don't use your wrists.  Practice.  Learn the feel and how far to take the club back for different distances.  That takes hours of practice.  \n\nPGA Director of Instruction Rick Martino explains how you can become a confident, more successful putter with some easy drills.\nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/rickmartino/improve_martino011706.cfm\n\nHere are some putting basics \nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/shortgame/improve_beck110904.cfm

heres my two cents, if your hitting it out on the toe of the club, your more than likely topping the ball the other half of the time, 99 out of 100 your clubs are too short, inshort not allowing you to get back to the ball at impact, not that you cant play with shorter clubs, just makes it alittle harder to do it consistantly, go to your local repair shop, have them measure you for the length of golf clubs you should be playing with, i believe the standard length 5 iron is still 37 1/2", goes 1/2" increments from wedges to 1 iron, ie., 6 iron is 37, 7 iron is 36 1/2, you get the point, what they should do is measure you to get the length of club that is best for you, ask if they have a club you can go hit thats your length, go hit a small bucket, that should do the trick, if that helps your ball flight, you have a couple of options, 1 get the guy to put extensions in your clubs and cut to your length, should be about 5 or 6 bucks plus cost of grip, have him measure you for your proper grip size while your at it, just try doing your favorite clubs you use most often first, if that helps do the rest of your set, 2 reshaft your clubs, get ready to pull out your wallet here, can get pricey, then take the advise of the guy above and go thru the full blown fitting process and consider buying new clubs custom built to your golf game. length, shaft flex, lie, grip size, set make-up, if you go and do all this and your still hitting it out on the toe, take advantage of the free deal of the month thing on lessons, and thank god your not at the dam office, grip it and rip it.

Too right arm dominant. Practice with just your left arm on the putter, then let you right arm just hang around for the ride.

i would suggest swinging on a downward plane...  It seems to work for me when i start to pop the ball up... just take like 50-100 swings from your back shoulder to ur front  knee.

1.   Stand with your feet closer together than when you normally swing.  \n  \n2.   Position yourself so that the ball is closer to your back foot.  \n  \n3.   Use a flop wedge, also known as a 60-degree wedge. A sand wedge can be used in an emergency.  \n  \n4.   Swing the club on a steeper plan (more upright).  \n  \n5.   Hit directly underneath the ball before taking a divot. Take a divot that is long and shallow.  \n  \n6.   Follow through normally.

Today's market is all about fitting.  Don't go buy a set off the rack.  The fitting process works.  Go to the manufactures websites and find out when the next demo day will be in your area.  I have several of them on my blog roll.  Hit as many clubs as you can and have someone fit you several times.  Even if you buy copies you can use the information form the club fitting to help you get the right set.  I also have a link that will help you find the value of clubs to help with price.  On the left side of my blog you will see about 10 links to help you out http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-jbU0VJ8hfKdLFtO8i.cRwqRp?p=581

The lessons are a good idea.  Why not just sign up for three lessons to get your swing straight.  Then plan on hitting a bucket at the range and practice chipping once per week to stay in the groove.  If your swing gets out of whack, take a tune-up lesson from time to time.  If you do these things, you should be able to shoot in the 80s consistently and maybe better depending on your natural talent.\nIf you never get out of the hundreds?  Who cares!  Play because you enjoy spending time on the course with some friends.

When it comes to putters if you like it and think you can make putts it's good.  Heavy putters for slow greens light for fast.  \n\nA couple things to remember \nDo not use your wrist \nShort back swing good follow through - make sure you accelerate the putter\n\nLength of putt\nLay a ruler on the ground.  Putt the ball 3 feet.  Make a note how far you take the putter back.  1.5 inches in most cases.  Do the same for a 5 foot, 8 foot and 15 foot putt.  Once you learn how far to take the club back for each distance your way ahead of the game.  \n\nHere is some more info \nhttp://www.pga.com/improve/tips/shortgame/improve_nesbitt120505.cfm
