Fix the Slice in Your Golf Swing – Perfect Golf Swing Drills
Watching your golf shot start left and then take a hard right turn is so frustrating. Fixing the slice in your golf swing is not as hard as it may seem.
Everything Starts with Your Grip – Take time to review your grip. You should be using what is referred to as a neutral grip. This is when the “Vs” formed by the thumb and forefinger on each hand are pointing towards the right shoulder. Read the rest of this entry
Playing Consistent golf is one of those things that many golfers only dream of. Most amateur golfers only have so many hours for the game of golf.
All too often we have to sacrifice playing time for practice time. It is a real balancing act when it comes to improving our game.
So how do you go about playing consistent golf without giving up a lot of playing time?
One of the mistakes I think amateur golfers have a tendency to do is to try to develop a perfect golf swing rather than a consistent golf swing.
There are a couple of flaws in that approach. First is although there may be a perfect swing, the likeliness of achieving it and maintaining it is unrealistic. Secondly, the perfect swing may not be the best swing for your game.
Make the time that you put into practicing your golf game effective. When you practice, spend less time on the things that you do well and more time on the shots that need work. For instance, if you have a strong short game and your week off the tee then spend 80% of your time at the driving range on improving your tee shots and only 20% of your time on your short game.
You’re more likely to improve your scores and lower your handicap, if you follow these six simple tips.
1. Take the time to develop a pre-round strategy. Review the golf course and map out how you want your round to play out. Break the round down into smaller 3 hole mini rounds.
2. Develop a pre-shot routine. Put your mind to visualizing the shot you are about to play. Follow the same steps in preparing to take your shot and your subconscious will take over naturally.
3. Adopt the right swing thoughts. Forget about that missed opportunity or poor swing. Everyone has a bad shot or putt from time to time. Put your mind at ease by not trying to make up for it with the next shot.
4. Know your distances. Don’t fall trap to trying to get another 5 yards out of the club in your hand. If the shot you are going to play is in between clubs, go to the longer club, choke down a bit and take a relaxed swing.
5. Work on your short game. You will take more shots from inside 150 yards in a given round then you will hitting your driver. Develop a strong short game and watch your scores go down.
6. Avoid those disastrous three putts. Spending quality time on the practice green is one of the most important and easiest ways to become more consistent. Knowing how to lag a putt from 40 feet to inside three feet will eliminate those dreaded three putts.
Yes, all golfers can play more consistent golf by just following these six tips. Why not take some time to work on the things that will help you the most. Stop worrying about the perfect swing and start putting lower scores on your golf card.

Golfers at all levels have one thing in common; they are all trying to improve their game. It’s a never ending challenge to play better golf. One of the biggest issues I see golfers dealing with is slicing and hooking the ball.
For me, like with many golfers, when you hit an errant shot it is natural to try and determine what you did wrong.
Have you ever asked yourself one of these questions in the middle of a round?
Geez, I hooked that shot; what did I do to cause that?
Or maybe it’s, I really pushed that one; How did that happen?
You head down the course thinking that it was just an anomaly, but your subconscious is churning away trying to answer that question. Before you know it you are missing a shot here and there. What might have started off as a good round quickly goes south.
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to make just one adjustment to correct either of these problems? It would be great if you could do this on the golf course during a round.
This may sound too good to be true, but I was watching a video from one of the training courses I have and was blown away by what I learned. By just making a small pressure adjustment to your grip, you can correct the slice or hook.
