Howdy!
First off, I'd like to welcome all of you to our website! Please accept my apology for the horrible photo to your right, I think that's me... I thought I looked much better than that but I guess the camera doesn't lie. My first tip - don't take any wooden nickels! Ok, all kidding aside, have you ever heard the old adage "practice makes perfect", well that's great but isn't necessarily so. I prefer to use "perfect practice makes perfect". What I mean by this is practice with a purpose, it is not necessary (and even detrimental to your game) to go and bang a million balls every day at the driving range especially if you are not mentally engaged with the task at hand. How many people do you know that go practice daily but never seem to get better? I know several. Of those several I know, most never make it to the place they need to be most, the chipping and putting green. The quickest way to lower your score is to get your short game sharp. When you practice you should always allow no less than 60% of your time to be spent sharpening your touch on and around the green. When you are on the driving range try some slow motion full golf swings so that you can feel more accurately the backswing, impact, and follow through positions that you are attempting to achieve. There it is folks, my first tip! Remember "Perfect Practice Makes Perfect!"
