Single Digit Golf Tips, Or How To Get A Jump-Start On Your Game
1) Core-muscle exercise. I know, you don't like to do sit-ups, but a few a day,(consult your doctor if needed), hopefully with a twist added once you are comfortable will work wonders as these muscles are the key to your balance. Even if you start 3-4 weeks before you play, it makes a big difference.
2) A few Squats wouldn't hurt you either. The big leg muscles are power boosters especially if you aren't a spring chicken anymore.
3) I have found that practicing 6-8' putts on a mini fake green, (which are cheap to buy), give you great short-putt confidence. How many 4-6 foot putts did you miss last year? You can use a piece of plywood or even cardboard under it to tilt it sideways which is great practice for breaking or uphill/downhill putts. A piece of rug or that green indoor/outdoor poly carpet works well if you don't want to buy anything. See how many 8 footers you can make. When you get up to 10 in a row consistently, stop and think how confident you feel over those putts! While you are at it, try to get your ball to stop,(if you miss), 1 1/2' behind the hole to perfect your speed.
4) Try to pick a club up and swing it every day or two if only for a minute. If you have a snowfree area, try chipping into a bucket or onto a small target for a few minutes. Do not use your wrists when chipping! The biggest easy to fix amateur mistake is breaking the wrists on short chips. Think of it as another form of putting stroke where you just use your large muscles and keep your hands quiet. If you keep your hands slightly ahead of the clubhead through the swing, you will feel a more solid connect with the ball.
OK, I'll shut up for now. This is the first week for this lens. I will be adding tips regularly for anyone interested. Play Well!
