Before every round I go to the putting green, but I don’t putt at the flagged holes there.
What I do is place a white tee in the ground, then start putting at 3 feet with 5 balls surrounding the tee. After I hit the tee 5 times in a row, I move out to 5 feet and putt there until I hit the tee 5 times in a row, then move out to 10 feet and putt there.

When you line up your putt on the first green, you feel as if the hole is a 5 gallon bucket, not a 4 inch hole.

John daly says that to get more distance lean your tee as far forward as you can on the tee box. This will add 1 inch to your total drive. every time.

Three great drills:

1. Connection drill – take either two small headcovers or two golf gloves and place them under your arms. Using a pitching wedge, make 10 three quarter swings only focusing on not dropping the items under your arms. This is done by some of the best in the business these days – Padraig, Vijay, etc… Just be sure to stick with short shots on this drill. It’s purpose is to get the big & small muscles of the upper body working in sequence together.

2. Balance drill A – Hit 15 shots and with each shot, hold your finish until the ball lands. As simple as it is, it’s a fantastic drill for developing real consistency over the long term. Think this is too simple for your liking, you Tiger & Phil wannabes? Go to your local course and watch the golfers on the range/course. How many of them hold their finishes (and how many of them can break 100)? Now watch 5 minutes of PGA/LPGA Tour golf on TV. How many hold their finishes? And how good are they again? Try it and you’ll surprise yourself.

3. Balance drill B – Place 5 golf balls in a line that’s perpendicular to your target line/foot line, all about 3 inches apart. Back up about ten feet from the golf balls and with club in hand, stand on one leg (for RH golfers, your left leg). W/o using your club as a crutch, hop over to the closest ball and make as balanced a swing as you can, being sure to use your body to turn back & thru (not your hands & wrists).

After impact, try to really get thru the ball to the point that you almost have to hop to maintain your balance. Once you’ve accomplished this, don’t put your right leg down. Remember, you still have 4 more balls to hit.

Once you’ve hit all five golf balls, hop back over to the original spot where you started from and then you can put your right leg back down on the ground. This is much more difficult than it seems, but is a lot of fun, especially for kids who have a decent amount of experience in the game. But trust me, you’ll feel this one.

Try this a few times, then hit ten or so normal shots with both feet in standard position. It’s a great way to teach balance in a golf swing.

I found a huge list of golf courses in every state. I’m sure if you called one of the courses they would be able to help you.

Mason Rudolph once said “Swing easy and learn to live with the extra distance.”

Golf tec and golf lesson places are there to rip you off. They will only teach you 50% of you swing fixes to goad you into buying a more expensive lesson package.

Did you know its PGA Free Lesson Month?!

Try a 10 minute lesson with a bunch of teachers in your area and you’ll soon find a teacher that fits your learning style and isn’t trying to rip you off.

Don’t bother video taping yourself. Do you do your own surgeries or remove your own tumors? Then why would you diagnose your own swing?

Try one lesson practice and fix and then take another lesson. Do not do lessons where you just take 5 lessons in a row.

If the instructor is not willing to do a trial lesson, then they’re NOT worth going to.

Most courses require a collar. No jeans, no cutoffs, no tank tops.
Depending on the weather (probably hot) Bermuda shorts that are mid thigh to just above the knee should be perfectly acceptable. Most guys will be wearing polos, casual slacks, khakis, or shorts. Gals will wear polos, slacks, shorts, skirts, or skorts(?).
Your best bet is to call the course or look on the web site for dress code. Most courses have a dress code. The more exclusive the club, the more strict the dress code is.
