Pure Your Golf Shots!

 

Stay Down

     Kind of like they told us in baseball, you must stay down during your golf swing. If you pull up to soon during your down swing to the ball, then you will most likely thin or even miss the golf ball. Most golfers lift their head to soon because they want to see where the ball is going. Remember to always keep your head down and watch your club head hit the golf ball.

Hit Tall Then Ground 

     When we hit the golf ball, we need to remember that the club head needs to hit ball first, then the ground. By doing this we create divots. When we create divots, we are able to hit the golf ball purer! Better looking divots in the ground reflect how well a shot was hit.

Why You Cant Hit a Clean Chip Shot

  More about Short Game       Yesterday we talked about putting and how to improve on the green. Now chipping is also a huge part of your golf game. If you hit a golf shot from 150 yards out and miss the green, then your next shot will be a chip. Chipping allows us to get as close to the hole as possible before having to putt. Chipping can make your putting life easier if you do it correctly.  Weight Distribution       In my opinion the most important thing to keep in mind while chipping is your stance. Your stance should allow slightly more weight on your front so you can swing through the ball coming down. This will allow for clean chips that come out nicely. According to Swing Align. " Keep your feet close together. This makes it easy to turn your body which is important in chipping!"
