Three drills for more consistent putting |
 |
 |
|
Lag drill - This drill will help give you a sense of feel for the speed of the greens. Controlling your distance in putting is crucial if you want to be a consistent putter. Get in the center of the putting green and drop a few balls. Practice putting the ball as close to the edge of the green as you can without touching the fringe. This will help you focus on rhythm and distance rather than concentrating so much on holing the putts.

Correct "Sequencing" = POWER |

Correct “Sequencing” = POWER
Everyone reading this article is guilty of copying JD’s (John Daly) philosophy of gripping it and ripping it to hit the golf ball farther. While I do agree with this method more so than trying to guide the ball into fairways, I hope to shed light on the source of true power in the golf swing.

Go High and Go Low! |
|
|
|
I have just completed a few playing rounds with students, and I wanted to give you an update of what I learned....
This has been a hard year on the course, greens are hard and at Eagle Point, fast! It is hard to keep a firm, accelerating stroke on these hard fast greens. Watch out for that decelerating stroke with body and or wrist movement. We all must commit to firm confident strokes. Believe me, your score will thank you!
Use this drill to prevent deceleration on those pesky four footers…
Take the putter back two inches and follow through four inches. This will ensure that you accelerate through the putt. Note you must use good rhythm in your putting stroke for this to work. There should be no jabbing or stabbing at the ball.

Wasted Shots |
|
|
How many of you track your stats from your golf rounds? Do you know where you are wasting the most shots each time you play? If your goal is to lower your golf scores, it is very important to have a clear understanding of the area or areas that you need to improve. It is very rare to look back at a round of golf and realize that you wasted an equal amount of shots off the tee, on your approach shots, on your chip shots, and on the putting green. More often than not, the majority of your mistakes are made in 1 or 2 of these areas.
