Set your eyes directly over the ball when putting
Land near the fringe on firm greens
Choke up on driver to keep it in play- Structure putting practice: technique, breaks, then speed
Shift wedge ball position to change trajectory
Turn your hands over to add a draw
Play forgiving long irons over blades- Punch short and let a running lie release
Check hand tension when choosing putter size
Treat a dangerous downhill eight-footer as a lag
Aim at a target on the range, not distance- Playing wedge ball too far back moves your low point
- Play right for a left pin blocked by trees
Punch out to a wedge when the green is blocked
Rehearse the impact position: impact, back, hit it
Reassess trouble from forward tees
Use a claw grip to take the right hand out of putting
Plan shots around your strongest club
Round off a steep, shortened backswing
Take less loft from an upslope
Commit to one shot shape and accept the miss
Use more speed in heavy sand
Go back on the crossing line for a flatter drop- Check a fluffed lie for the risk of sliding under
- Allow for ballooning and spin into the wind
- Aim long putts into a 4-foot circle, not the hole
Forward press an arm-lock putter to lock the angle- Aim where both the draw and straight ball work
Into the wind, curve gets magnified- Skip the hero shot when par is available
- Use water-dispersing grooves for wet wedge shots
- Play the low runner away from the danger
- Compare irons by carry, not total distance
- Measure the bailout before choosing the club
- Chip from different locations, not the same shot repeatedly
- Rate missed putts by the roll, not the make
- Judge a shaft by ball flight and misses, not numbers
- Get fit once your swing is established
- Feel a full release when hitting a fade
- Play the break even on very short putts
Get one in play before attacking- Don't copy a pro's stated feel from tutorials
- Wait for a lull before hitting into strong wind
- Downhill into wind: multiply the wind by about 1.5
Practice chips from grainy turf- Play forward tees to rehearse shooting under par
Open your stance to move three-wood contact forward- Aim your feet parallel left, not at the target
Fling the weight, don't drag the grip- Track wind with a fixed compass bearing
