The run-up shot is used when there is not enough room between the front edge of the green and the flag to land the ball and stop it before it rolls well past the flag. The choice of club is usually one with little loft, which sends the ball low… Continue Reading…
This type of sand shot differs from the others insofar as you should hit the ball first and not the sand.

Pre-shot routine for all the other shots is basically the same – the most important aspect of your routine is that it is always the same! The key is that you are reminding yourself about all the vital elements of your golf shot: examining the lie of the ball, choosing… Continue Reading…
The changeover from the backswing to the downswing is probably the most discussed and least understood part of the full swing. For the majority of us there is no halt at the top of the backswing, so there can be no real start of the downswing – I think that… Continue Reading…
If you develop an instinct to finish well, it keeps your mind focused on striking the ball and making good shots. If you make a good followthrough it will also often correct the errors in the backswing.
