Golf Tips

Swing Hard

If you have a nasty hook or pull on most of your shots, try swinging hard but turn your hips first on the down swing.

Putting

Most people know that tension is not what you want in golf, this is especially true in putting. Most of the time tension will make you leave a putt short of the hole. The next time you are over a putt try relaxing your hands, forearms, shoulders and especially your sides. You will be amazed at how much smoother the stroke is, how much farther your follow through is, and how the ball gets to the hole.

Ouch!
Are your golf clubs hurting your feet? Playing with golf clubs that do not fit you is like wearing shoes that are too small! Golfers owe it to themselves to get their equipment evaluated by a knowledgeable fitter. Call us at 480-837-1173 to set up an evaluation. Checking out your clubs takes very little time but be forewarned you could be very surprised.
