Sphere: Related ContentThe term ‘the long game’ is used to refer to the drives (shots off the tee) and fairway shots, which means every shot with the exception of the ones you make to actually get onto the green.
Since each hole has a different difficulty level, different par and distinctive hazards, telling you to use your driver on every tee would blatantly be quite wrong.
This is something that you will need to learn over time as you learn the various shots you have to make depending on the club, the placement of the ball and your personal style of swing.

Hands down we can all golf a better golf game if we just had some practice help. I’m sure you would agree that all the shots on TV look so easy, but none of us are armed with how to practice these so if we are faced with that shot we are ready to execute.
Often I’m asked “how long should you practice at a range and how often?” Well…great question…but my advice is simply….it depends on the person. But, remember, you are not only going to the range to practice your swing, but practice your mental game as well. This will lessen the chances of “praying” things will happen on a golf course…and typically, they don’t.

There are many golf bags available; some are designed for fashion, some for utility and some that combine both features. There are big bags, bigger bags and bags so big that they would keep everything I need for a long week-end vacation in one of the side pockets!
A basic, practical golf bag is one just large enough to hold your clubs (obviously), spare golf balls, tees, golf glove, pencils, keys, sunblock cream, ball markers, a ball retriever, an umbrella and a plastic raincoat.

Having a great swing in golf can be a curse. I know many people who have great swings but can’t convert on the golf course. It’s almost a curse where you have the mechanics down but you just can’t score well. This proves that there’s something else out there we need.
After years of teaching, it has become increasingly apparent that the game is being approached incorrectly. You see, we all need to take a step back and ask the question How do the pros reach such stellar levels and my game is lackluster at best?
Sphere: Related Content“Drive for show, putt for dough” is the lesson we’ve all seen and learned from watching the professional golfers in every tournament and championship either live or on TV.
The masters of golf can drive a ball from here to eternity, but it all boils down to how many strikes of the ball it takes to put the ball in the hole. The long accurate drives don’t amount to anything if you’re unable to putt the ball accurately.
Sphere: Related ContentThere are some basic elements of the golf swing that the golfer should use as a mental checklist when taking a shot. The first element is the bodys alignment toward the target. Stand five to ten feet behind the ball, with the ball directly between your body and the desired target. Locate guidance targets on the ground (leaves, blades of grass, dirt, etc.) inches in front and behind the golf ball that should be on a direct line with where you are standing and the target. Keep your eyes on those ground targets as you approach the ball.
