Tips From The Pro - The Low Punch Shot

January 13, 2016

Elwyn Davies

For the low punch shot, you need to tilt your spine and head towards the target at address. This means setting your weight on your left side at address and pushing the ball back in your stance so it is opposite your right heel. Choose a club without much loft and using this set-up position you'll lower the face angle even more.

Tips From The Pro - Why Do You Slice?

January 13, 2016

Elwyn Davies

A weak grip is a common cause of a slice. The good news is that it is easy to check and correct. Looking down on your grip you should see two knuckles on the left hand and the 'V' shape between the thumb and forefinger on your right hand should point to your right shoulder. If you have a weak grip, you will see fewer than two knuckles on the left hand, while the 'V' on your right hand will aim at your chin.

Tips From The Pro - A Make or Break Question

January 13, 2016

Elwyn Davies

Gripping the club too tightly creates tension in the arms and shoulders which may end up in taking the club away too much round the body. This makes it harder to return the club to the correct position through impact to hit the ball straight.

Tips from the Pro - Think Straight To Keep It Straight

January 13, 2016

Elwyn Davies

Golfers who struggle with accuracy on tight courses often get distracted by thoughts of the trees rather than concentrating on where they want to hit the ball. Invariably, wherever your thoughts go, your golf ball follows.
