Practice on wet and dry greens, up slopes and down slopes, in sand traps and on beautiful greens, practice is to improve your game, to help you work out the bugs in your shots, and to allow you to enjoy playing the game.



The most frequent complaint of teaching pros is the player who comes for a couple of lessons and then goes out to play with friends.

Not having practiced often enough he is upset that the shot he made in his game was nothing like the same shot made on the practice green.

They have forgotten what they were taught and even revert back to their old methods and mistakes, blaming the pro for their mistakes.

However, a player who truly wants to improve his game will do all he can to remember why he was hitting bad shots, why he went to the pro and finally what the pro advised him to do.

The first problem you should practice is how to hit the ball squarely, putting the club in at the point of impact.

Once you have been able to hit the ball with accuracy, you should then proceed to applying all your effort to learning a smooth, consistent acceleration during your backswing and downswing, especially the downswing.

Make sure the club head travels in as straight a path during both the up and down movement as is possible, without any jerking or problems with grip and stance.

It is a fact that the better you play golf, the more golf you will play. Even pros who spend their days traveling from one city to another spend all of their time off playing golf, they love the game and they are good at it.
