Fix Your Slice
With most of us now staying at home perhaps now is the opportunity to address any longstanding faults you may have. So for you slicers, here is a great drill you can do and finally fix your tendency.
With any slicer the face is pointing right of the swing! Hardly anyone fixes this tendency longterm because you have to swing right of target with the club face pointing left. Most get perhaps one piece right but not two. Ball flight tells all but often stops you fixing any problem as we more often react incorrectly.
Watch the video and remember start slowly and with a mid iron say a 6 or 7. When you get comfortable do this with a driver.
As always give me feedback or ask any questions.
Once you can do this drill we can add to this.
Good luck and stay safe.
Best wishes
Ian

Why do Tour Putters put better than you?
Without question all really good putters strike the ball solid every time and "roll" the ball well. But they do 3 key things better
1. They start the ball on line
2. With the correct speed
3. They read the green correctly
Today we will focus on the first one....how to start the ball online. Here is a great drill you can do at home and it will highlight if you are starting the ball on line. All you need is a 5p piece, a ruler or tape measure and your carpet or a mat which you can hit a putt on. This week's challenge is to get 10 out of 10. When you can do this you are well on your way to starting the ball online. The key to practising is to do this every day just for 5 minutes. Feel free to get back to me with any questions. Good luck!

The Greatest Golfer America never knew?
Now most of you will never have heard of Neil Coles but he dominated European Golf in the 60's and 70's, played 8 Ryder Cups and has won tour events on the main and Seniors Tour over 6 decades, a record to this day.
I met Neil when I played on the European Tour (with absolutely no success I'm afraid) in the mid 80's. We did a golf clinic together and we hit shots with our particular theme. Now Neil hit fairway woods and he could do anything with the ball, fade, draw, hit low, high and from all sorts of lies...he never missed a shot. What was unique was that he addressed all his shots off the heel with a closed face. Over the years I have used this as a quick tip, especially with slicers as it can force them to hit the ball from the "inside" to avoid the heel with a face pointing left of the swing direction. Maybe give this a try, watch his swing here and copy his rhythm. In his 70’s here..it looks so easy!
The reason America never heard of him by the way was that he was scared of flying so never flew!

This week I have been at the PGA Tour event in Mexico. I followed Cameron Champ on the 2nd day and watched the “easiest” 62. He hits it miles averaging nearly 340yds off the tee. We’ll never get anywhere near that, but what also was impressive was his control of shorter shots from 120yds and in as he had lots of these. If I could give you just one tip then get as good as you can at this. You’ll shoot lower and have more fun. The closer to the hole the better you want to be, Cameron Champ just happens to be closer in one!

Let me share a Tommy Fleetwood tip..Quiet Eyes!
I have been very fortunate to spend time over the years with Tommy Fleetwood since he was 15. Here is a tip he shared with me which really helped his putting on tour (not always his strength). He found that when putting, even though his head and body stayed still, his eyes often anxiously jumped towards the hole. He focused on keeping his eyes "quiet" as he made the stroke, this really helped the smooth flow of his stroke . Give this a try and let me know how you get on, hopefully it will help you make more putts just like Europe's new number 1!

The no.1 mistake I see most average golfers make
I would say that for most average to high handicap golfers by far the most common mistake I see is a poor grip, especially in how the handle fits into the left hand. It is the only contact your body makes with the club. Just copy the way it sits especially with how the fleshy heel part of your hand is on top and also across the base of the fingers, just like the photo. Believe me EVERY GOOD PLAYER does this! So many good things will develop....I promise!

Here is a video I took of John Daly in 1999 at St Andrews. According to my friend and top teacher, Jim McLean, Tiger Woods said he is the most talented golfer he has ever seen. Would I change this? Definitely not, teaching is making the most of any player without changing what really works. Many would shorten the swing, keep his right thumb on the club as a start...are these fundamentals? Did they stop him winning? Maybe take a lesson to make what can work for you!

No....none of these, I personally would want you to hit the middle of the club more often. The best players do this. There are plenty of simple tips to help you get better contact, but first of all know your pattern. Put a small washable marker dot on the ball next time you practise or play. Hit 5 shots with your driver and look at the face of your club. Where is your pattern? If I know this I can definitely improve your game and more importantly help you enjoy it more.

Why do Tour Putters put better than you?
I have already mentioned the importance of centre strike and without question all really good putters strike the ball solid every time and "roll" the ball well. But they do 3 things better
1. They start the ball on line
2. With the correct speed
3. They read the green correctly
Any of these I can help any player to achieve with simple drills and adjustments to their technique.
However if you going out to play and want to try something to help you here are my 2 top tips
1) Look at the hole while making practice strokes. Doing this makes you less stroke conscious and in turn more aware of where your target is.
2) Trust your first instinct. Second guessing will only hinder your confidence as you will have two ideas confused before a putt is even struck.
Finally a key thought most great putters adhere to is that they never beat themselves up over a missed putt.
For example, aiming a putt at the right edge of the hole that does not break left is not something that you should beat yourself up about when it doesn't break. Ultimately you did all you could do in terms of both process and execution.

One of the tips when practicing bunker play is to draw a line in the sand about a cm behind the ball and to practice entering the sand there. For many, that tip creates a vision of the leading edge entering the sand at that point. If that’s the consequence then it will lead to digging and poor bunker play.

Think like a Pro, how far do you hit the ball....honestly?
Even today I always want to know how far I hit the ball. Playing a few holes earlier, I hit a good 4 iron to the hole from 189 yards out. I hit the ball 2 yards short of the flag having rolled 9 yards. The ball actually carried 178 yards, not up there with the long hitters I know.
Whenever I ask a player how far he or she hits the ball most don't know or make a guess. "My 7 iron goes 150 yards" is a common answer. Most who say this forget that probably the ball rolled out often 5 - 10 yards and also still well short of their 150 yard target. Most keen players hit balls at a range and don't know how far they hit it. When they play they have a distance finder such as GPS or a laser (like Rickie Fowler in the picture). This tells you the distance but few will take into account the bounce and roll.
The best players know exactly how far they consistently carry the ball with each club, often to within a couple of yards. They will adapt to other factors, temperature, wind, slope, how they are striking the ball and naturally what will happen to the ball after it lands to ensure they hit the correct total distance. Think like a pro and try to build your knowledge of your carry distances, just like the best players.

Watch how to hit a high lob/flop shot
Here is a specialist shot which I teach to the more advanced golfer. With the introduction of different lofted wedges it is so much easier to play higher or lower shots simply by changing the club. However, when you need more height let me show you, watch the video and try this -
Open the club face and notice that I have a wider stance with my hands lower to the ground which offsets the open face (I will explain this in another post)
My weight is left and the ball forward with the shaft almost leaning away from the target
From down the target line you will see I am not aiming left as many advocate and I swing on line not way off to the left.
I work the club up and down releasing the club, putting as much loft on as I can through the ball with a long lazy motion. The sole of the club skids through the ground through impact. My grip pressure is really light, the club almost drops out of my hands at the end.
I never want to move back away from the target like many do to add height (watch my head), I use the club head! This is a 52 degree wedge....look how high it goes!

Add simple options to your pitching
Once you have mastered the basic pitch (look at my last post) you can now add more options. Quite simply to hit the ball lower play it back in your stance towards your right foot, higher play it more forward towards your left assuming you are a right hander. You also have the option to change clubs using a less lofted wedge or more lofted if you have these. All of a sudden your pitch becomes really versatile. I like a player to master the technique first, add a low and a high shot, then fill in the gaps with mid to low, mid to high and different clubs.
The ultimate short game tour player, assesses the situation, picks the best shot to suit the lie and where they are pitching to and instinctively selects the correct club, set up and swing. They just see the shot and play it using imagination and feel gained through all their experience.

Learn this and play better.
The more I see all levels of golfers play, probably the best way to lower your scores is to learn a good basic pitching action. Most golfers who shoot over 80 miss more greens than they hit from 80 yards and in. So look at the above pictures and the attached video of me playing this basic shot. Here are a few pointers:
• Weight left side.
• If you drop a line from my nose it is over the ball.
• Club swings back and through, keeping your head over the ball.
• Let your body move through with your swing, your head can move forward and up into the follow through.
• The club “kisses” the ground just past the ball.
Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg_yayISg0g and copy the rhythm and flow of the swing and listen to the nice crisp contact. Practise this as often as you can, wherever you can, even at home, learn good contact and watch your scores tumble.

Ian

The biggest obstacle to getting better is the golf ball.
The biggest obstacle to getting better is the golf ball. Most people react to the ball the wrong way. If it goes right they swing to the left, if it goes left they swing to the right. This happens to the very best players. So things get worse. The problem is we tend to fix the swing rather than the face.
When teaching I always struggled with this. Often players are quick to come down on themselves if the ball flies off in the wrong direction. It wasn't until some years ago now I spent a lot of time with one of the world's best instructors, Jim McLean. He used what he called the elimination theory. If somebody reacted to the ball the wrong way he would have them hit balls into a net. With the use of video in his "Superstation" he got players making the right moves without the ball distracting them. The results were amazing, he changed peoples swings and ball flights quicker and easier than anyone else I had seen. He was the first I had seen do this and I have used this ever since. Since then I have a net down on the range and in my indoor studio. In each case I can take the target away and when the player gets it right re-introduce it. Having seen thousands of golf balls hit by all types of golfers I can nearly always name the shot so when ready the target is re-introduced and the ball flight is usually what I thought.
I will be moving in the next few months into a great new studio based on the Superstation Jim has. Not quite the $2.5m his cost!

Over 60 years ago the most popular golf instruction books was written Five Lessons by Ben Hogan who was and still is acknowledged as the best ball striker ever. One of the best images that gives you a whole picture of a swing is the Hogan swing plane.
If you imagine a big square sheet of glass. With the bottom edge resting along a ball to target line, you then tilt the glass, cutting a hole in it for your head to pop through and let it rest on your shoulders. As you swing the club back and through, circling your body, you picture the club swinging on the same angle as the glass, brushing the underside but never crashing through it.
As you swing the club your body turns and you feel the weight or pressure moving into your right side going back and into your left side going through. At the same time keeping your heady steady, not “cutting” your head off!
This is a very simple image and in reality isn’t 100% correct but it is one of the best images any player can have.

Break 85: Don't ignore the fundamentals
How does a 140lb lady golfer hit the ball so far, so accurately, and so consistently?
How does a 140lb lady golfer hit the ball so far, so accurately, and so consistently?
Is gripping it the real problem?
Tension is a killer in the golf swing. It easily robs you of distance. More importantly, once it inhibits your large muscles, then accuracy and consistency disappear.

able to extend through the impact zone and follow through.

Stripe Your Fairway Woods!
Watching golf over the last week, I was struck by how consistent and confident the Professionals seem to be with their Fairway Woods. Of course, they’re not trying to hit the ball too hard, concentrating on their rhythm and swing plane/path. Good lessons for all of us.
Then the new Fairway Woods, even those the Tour Professionals use, seem to offer both added ball speed and a lot of forgiveness. The Fairway Wood has traditionally been a tough club to use well. Not anymore. The new Fairway Woods have a higher MOI through both axes. So if you hit the ball high or low on the face, or towards the heel or toe, the club is far more stable, resists the inclination to twist, and offers a more consistent and accurate ball flight.
The best news for most golfers is that they also offer launch support all over the face.
Regards,
Ian

Many golfers have never had any short game coaching. Even fewer have had a Putting lesson. And it shows in the performances from 40 yards in. It’s almost as if we expect to get to a level of skill where our approach shots find the green every time. Well, we don’t.

Does temperature affect your golf ball?
I am often asked how the temperature impacts on the golf ball? As a Titleist Partner I picked up this piece of knowledge from their research department.
"When a golf ball flies through colder air, it loses distance because cold air is more dense than warm air. Colder air increases both the lift and drag forces acting on the ball, which results in a slightly higher and shorter trajectory. There is nothing a golfer can do about the effect of air temperature, besides taking it into account when planning the next shot.
Distance loss can also result from playing with cold golf balls. If a ball gets too cold, its materials can lose some resiliency, resulting in a reduction of initial velocity off the club face. Keep in mind, excessive heat can also have an effect.
To negate this effect, we recommend playing with room temperature golf balls, and storing your golf balls indoors at room temperature throughout the year. Avoid leaving your golf balls in extremely cold or hot conditions, i.e., in the trunk of your car during the winter or summer. If your golf balls are exposed to these conditions, as long as you let them return to a normal temperature gradually, they will perform the same.
If you’re playing in extremely cold conditions, it’s also a good idea to rotate a couple golf balls hole-by-hole, keeping the idle one in a warm pocket in your jacket or pants.
The exact amount of distance loss due to cold temperatures is difficult to state due to a large number of variables. However, the other factors that typically accompany cold-weather golf (i.e. cold muscles, wearing more layers, frozen ground, wind, etc.) might have a bigger impact on a golfer’s overall performance. For the air temperature effect alone, figure on a distance loss of about 1.5% per 20°F reduction in temperature. For example, for a 50°day versus a 70°day, on a 200 yard shot you would lose about 3 yards."
No need to change your golf ball, you will then have to change every shot in your bag!

You don't have to be Perfect
Rickie Fowler is one of the best young players in the world. He has quite an individual style, especially his backswing and even though he has worked hard to improve this it still considered by many to be far from the perfect swing.
What we need to remember is that he delivers the club to the ball really well, consistently and powerfully. Interesting, like Rory he isn't the biggest of players physically but he still creates more speed than most.

What you can learn from one of the best short games in golf, Luke Donald
Weight left side
Middle of the body over the ball
Eyes parallel to the ball to target line
Good posture and balance
Focus on a really good set up almost square to the target, left foot can be dropped back a touch with the foot being turned out.
Hang left in the backswing then move through and up to a follow through. Swing on a relatively straight arc, feel the bottom of the club (bounce brushing the turf). You can alter the height with the ball position.
Luke Donald playing a longer pitch, notice the shaft is nearly straight up, hardly any lean towards the target. Backswing weight almost appears to go towards the target. Look how he releases towards the target, the club just brushing the turf, great rhythm. Great sound of the contact with the ball!

Perfect your Set Up
There is no better time to work on your set up than during the winter. Try to spend a few minutes each week getting into a really good set up position.
I'm a big believer in that your swing is heavily influenced by your start position. Get this right and you have every chance of making your best swing.
Look at Adam Scott showing perfect alignments hitting a 4 iron - a line through his toes, knees, hips, forearms, shoulders and eyes are all parallel to the club on the ground which is also parallel to the ball to target line. Also look at his posture, knees slightly bent and bending from his hips with his back comfortably straight and arms hanging.
From face on look how he is perfectly balanced ready to make an athletic move.
Use a mirror and copy this as often as you can this winter, it will definitely help your game come the spring.

I realized that if I want to be the best and fulfill my potential, I’m going to have to do the same thing. And for those who are lucky enough to be born with a gift and then choose to work the hardest—I mean, that’s the combination.” Rory McIlroy
