Comments on: How can I improve my Short Game In Golf? http://www.golfsmarts.com/?p=1290 Resources for better golf Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:32:43 +0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: doug4jets http://www.golfsmarts.com/?p=1290&cpage=1#comment-4875 doug4jets Fri, 01 Jan 2010 21:47:59 +0000 http://www.golfsmarts.com/?p=1290#comment-4875 Youtube has some good instructional videos. When you putt, you'll be more consistent if you use your shoulders and lateral muscles, not the forearms and wrists. The most important thing is distance. Use your big muscles not the small ones, and concentrate on using the center of the putter face. Best of luck!<br><b>References : </b><br> Youtube has some good instructional videos.

There is no secret to perfecting your short game, it'll honestly just happen after a few(or a lot) of times. However, if you would like sooner results, hit the driving range. Find out exactly how far you can hit each club that you'd be most likely to use in that 100 yards or less area. Also, chipping, can be difficult for some. For me, it works best when I bring my pitching wedge straight back and give a little twist/cock to my wrist when I approach the ball. See what works for you. For putting, that's really just a thing of patience. Try to notice the lie of the green, is it going to break left? Is it really uphill or downhill? With these thoughts in mind, just gently bring your arms back, WITHOUT MOVING YOUR TORSO, and swing through. Whatever you do, don't drag the putt to the left if your a righty(to the right if your a lefty.) This is what most 3 year olds tend to do on a miniature putt-putt course. Ever notice there scoring? Putting is rather simple if you have patience and keep your putts straight. Good luck to you and Happy Holidays!<br><b>References : </b><br> Practice truly makes perfect.

Short game play includes wedges, nine irons, and putter for beginners. The method depends on where the ball lands. High grass use a wedge (sand also) and just rough turf a nine. Chipping is a matter of touch not strength, use no movement other than arms and shoulders to control ball direction. Now putting depends on sighting the surface of the green to the hole and having a smooth arm swing hitting the ball. Do you have a park or road divider near you? Great place to putt on a grass surface. Practice as much as you can to develop a consistent hit then try it on a real golf course.

Then at the range start by hitting 10 balls with your shortest irons with a half swing, then hit 10 balls with a 3/4 swing and 10 balls with a full swing. Repeat the process if you aren't satisfied.. When you have developed a degree of proficiency, repeat the process with the next shortest club etc. You should now be able to hit the chip shots and medium to short irons with some accuracy thereby eliminating the bad putting. Now work on your putting on the practice green.<br><b>References : </b><br> First, take a lesson or two to develop the proper golf swing for your woods and your irons.
