Golfers, no matter what their level of play, are always looking for a way to improve their game. In order to score well, you must hit good iron shots. Unfortunately, for many golfers this isn’t the case.

Instead of hitting their irons solidly, they slice or pull their shots, take poor divots, and/or miss-hit their long irons. These mistakes often leave them short of the green and scrambling for par.

Hitting your irons poorly ends up costing you strokes and puts pressure on the rest of your game.

If this is you, you need to learn to generate the extra 10 or 15 yards that puts you on the green.

Here are six Tips to help You add 10 to 15 yards to your irons:

1. Keep your head behind the ball

2. Keep your hands together on the club

3. Hips/arms are in the same place at impact

4. Shaft is ahead of the club head at impact

5. Back of front hand faces the target

6. Weight is on your forward foot

The key to hitting your irons consistently and adding distance does not come from swinging the club faster or harder. When you try swinging the club faster or harder, your arms outrace your body, reaching the ball before you’re able to shift your weight.

In order to make consistent solid contact with the ball, you must arrive at impact simultaneously with both your arms and body, using a slightly descending blow.

Next time you go out to practice, take a camcorder with you and video your practice. Take the time to review your golf swing.

If you’ve swung the club correctly, in the video you will see that your golf club’s shaft will be ahead of the club face at impact. Your weight will be over your front foot and your hips will be open to the target. These positions indicate that your arms and hips are moving together at the same time.

Don’t let poor iron shots ruin your scores and your golf handicap. Work on arriving at impact with your arms and body simultaneously, rather than trying to swing the club harder or faster. If you can master this fundamental, you’ll hit solid iron shots.

If you are like me, you are continuously looking for a way to improve your golf game. I have been reviewing my golf swing when I am out playing golf, recording my results for each round I play and looking for part of my golf game that I can improve on.

I know I will never play professional golf, but I know that I can play better golf than I do now. Even if I just improve by a stroke or two a round, I would feel as though I accomplished something.

The biggest issue with most golfers is consistency from round to round. This is even more of a problem when your playing time is limited. One round you might shoot “lights out” and the next time you play like it’s your first time playing golf.

There are many reasons why this happens, even if you play on a regular basis. There are a few tips that you can carry to the golf course.

Try playing 6 short rounds of 3 holes each. Take a look at the score card and break down what you should expect your score to be for each 3 hole round. Base your score on you normal scores. If you are a high handicapper, then a good score might be 3, 4 or even 5 over par. If you are a low handicapper, then you are probably looking to go 1 or 2 over par.
