Driving:
For better accuracy make
sure your stance is wide enough
for better balance (typically
just outside shoulder width) and
make sure you maintain your spine
angle. Since your swinging with
the longest club in the bag, these
two things are really keys to
better accuracy.
Power Swing: When
you swing harder at the ball,
one of the main things to make
sure you do is to keep your head
behind the ball. This is real
important because swinging harder
can sometimes causes your upper
body to get ahead of the ball
and results would end up in a
big slice.
Backswing: Always
remember that the backswing on
a full shot is never complete
until your shoulder is completely
behind the ball.
Slicing: If
you start loosing your ball to
a slice, nine times out of ten
it’s because the shaft was steep
on the downswing and swinging
over the top is the main cause
of the shaft being steep in your
swing.
Iron Play: When
I’m having a day that I’m struggling
with my irons I just simply take
one more club on my approach &
swing easy. Although I do understand
some players have trouble hitting
a controlled shot but just remember
that when your swinging easier
than normal, focus on hitting
the inside part of the ball.

Green
sand shot: When I’m in
the sand trap next to the green
I try to visualize my club going
completely under the golf ball
without touching it. Also, I make
sure that I get some sand on the
green when I hit the ball. Doing
these two things with some practice
should help you get the ball a
little closer the next time your
in the trap next to the green.
In the Rough:
When the ball is laying down in
the rough, take more club and
swing steep but be careful not
to get the shaft steep and ending
up not getting the ball out of
the rough.
The Putt: When
putting it is really important
to keep the putter head level.
Typically when a player is pulling
putts it’s more than likely the
toe of the putter is higher than
the heel.
Equiptment: There's
many different brands & models
in golf equipment. I recommend
you check out your local Golf
Equipment Center and talk with
their Golf Pro. Once you have
selected a club brand, have the
pro to set you up in their simulator
and take some swings to see how
the club feels. I suggest to try
out several different models before
making your choice. Once you've
selected your club, talk to the
pro about custom fitting your
new clubs just for your golf swing.
Custom fit clubs are great and
will help you play better golf.
