After reading a magazine about these 25 top tips, I tried a couple of them during the weekend on the golf course and one of them worked, So I was thinking if it does improve some of my game I may aswell try and spread the news to everyone to see if it helps anyone else with there game, So here they are Enjoy !!!!

1 - Body Turn - To develop a good weight shift and full body turn take your address position and make sure that your right elbow is softened
and tucked slightly in, pointing towards the front of your hip. Keeping your left shoulder at a constant level, turn until it
is above your right thigh. You should feel the majority of your weight on your right foot. you will have moved a little,
perhaps a golf balls width to the right, and if you want to, you can easily look behind you over your shoulder.

2 - club Selection - You are facing an iron shot to the green, you know the yardage but can’t decide which club to hit. Walk 10 yards closer
and chose from there. You’ll avoid the biggest dangers, usually situated at the front of the green.

3 - Bunker play - Whenever the bunkers are wet you’ll notice that the sand is hard and it’s difficult to wiggle your feet in. This also has
an effect on your sand wedge as the bounce will not work in your favour as usual. To overcome this this employ your usual technique but
use a pitching wedge. As your wedge does not have any bounce the leading edge of the face will drive through the sand delivering a successful escape.

4 - Chip Challenge - When you head to the chipping green, firstly work on your basics - Posture, ball position and Alignment. Do this for 100 shots to refine
the mechanics of your technique. Now pick up the 100 balls and scatter them around as you might throw a bucket of water. Play each individual shot,
irrespective of the lie, to a specific target to increase your creativity. This simple routine will reap rewards when you are faced with the variety of
lies that you find on the course. If i had to choose between “technique” or “Feel” I would opt for “feel” everytime. Technique without feel is useless,
whereas a great sense of feel can make up for any flaws in technique.

5 - Perfecting your Splash - When playing from a greenside bunker imagine that you are sitting on the back of a chair at address. Focus on swinging the club
back while remaining sitting on the chair this will instantly give you the feeling of keeping the lower half of your body planted, leaving the hands and
arms in control of the club. The body will remain steady through to the finish. This will help you take the right amount of sand.

6 - Slice Buster - If you swing too steeply, slicing your shots to the right, practise hitting balls from above your feet. A shallower swing develops a stronger
release of the clubhead through impact for straighter shots.

7 - Ball Striking - Hit some mid iron shots with your feet together. Swing your arms to chest height on both back and through swings. hinging the wrists so the
grip end of the club points to the floor somewhere between your toes and ball-target line in both positions. A coloured tee stuck in the end of the grip helps
you see this. Your wrists hinge, release and balance are guarenteed to improve.

8 - Swing in Synch - Your bady and legs create the leverage that enables your hands and arms to drive through the swing. The key to good golf is ensuring that the
turning motion of your body is in harmony with this swinging motion of your hands and arms.

9 - Perfect Practice - Take notes when you practice. Then you can make an informed desicion on what to change.

10 - Feel Factor - Always work on developing sound fundamentals, then leave all your technical thoughts on the practise range and play the game with “Feel”. The
swing needs to be a reactionary and instinctive action-this is difficult to accomplish when thinking about a series of of static positions. See the swing as
one flowing action, Picture it! Rehearse it!Do it!.

11 - Keep it Varied - When Practising, most golfers will machine gun ball after ball, invariably with the driver. This has no relationship to what happens on the
course where every shot is different. Whether hitting a chip, a long drive or playing from a divot, the shot you played last. So during your next practise session,
have the discipline to pick a different club out your bag for every single shot that you hit.

12 - Swing control - Take an elastic stretchband(used in aerobics) and place one under your left foot. Now take the other end and place it under the back of the grip. Swing halfway back
feeling that your hands are the same distance from your sternum as they were at address.Then swing to the top of the back swing maintaining this width - the band will
be stretched out at this point. Hold this position so you feel the band pulled tight past your right hip - keep this position for a count of 10 and repeat.

13 - Finish Position - One of the most important positions is the follow through. If you complete your swing with balance you will be on your way to hitting”through” the ball and
not”at” it. This will improve your ball striking,accuracy and distance control.

14 - Balance Drill - You can improve the accuracy and quality of your ball striking by making some practice swings with your eyes shut. This gives you a feel for how balanced
you are during your swing. If you feel at all unsteady this is a sure sign that you are swinging too hard at the ball.

15 - Focus Group - Build your game around the three most important clubs in the bag - Driver, wedge and Putter. Work hard on a solid, neutral technique to create a repetitive action.
Use a driver that will find the fairway, a wedge that will hit the green from inside 100 yards and work hard to avoid those three putts.

16 - Slice Buster 2 - If your sick of your slice follow these tips. Firstly, ensure that as you look down at your grip you can see AT LEAST TWO knuckles on your left hand and your
forearms are level at address. To square the face up through impact you need to make sure both your forearms rotate in an anti-clockwise direction. Also have your clubs checked,
as it may be that a slight alteration in the lie angles will have you striking the ball straight and true.

17 - Wedge Control - Develop your ability to hit those dreaded half wedges while on the range. Don’t think 50-yarder as a delicate shot - generate as much speed through the shot as your shortened
swing will allow. Short and aggressive is better than long and lazy.

18 - Grip check - A common fault is to hold the club too high up on the grip. Place two fingers of your bottom hand above the little finger of your top hand to check your hands are far enough down.

19 - Fresh chips - Learn to chip with all the clubs in your bag. Never make a long swing if a short one will do. This is the easiest way to make an effective change.

20 - Breathe easy - Something as simple as breathing can have an enourmous effect on your ability to perform. If tensed or annoyed, take some long, deep breaths, emanating from the stomach.
Notice how your body relaxes and returns to its peak performance state as you exhale.

21 - Slow Progress - Whenever you want to make changes to your swing, always practise your new movements in slow motion. Ironically this is the fastest way to ingrain change.

22 - creating feel - Hit a series of shots on the range with the club that you’d use from 100 yards.Start by hitting shots at 25% power to a target 25 yards away. Then 50% to 50 yards, 75% to 75 yards
and finish by hitting at 100% power to a target 100 yards away. This drill will improve your feel.

23 - Grip pressure - Lighten your grip pressure on long putts, chips and pitches. Tension is a golfers biggest enemy and by reducing grip pressure, to a point where the club
feels almost loose throughout the swing, promotes smoothness and prevents deceleration into the ball.

24 - Weight shift - To improve your weight shift and turn, place two shafts just inside your heels at address, running away from your body. Swing to the top of your backswing ensuring that the centre
of your chest is positioned over the shaft that is inside your right foot. You should finish with your body fully turned to the target with your weight correctly balanced on your left side, your
chest should be over the other shaft.

25 - Set Goals - many players practise without a specific goal. Always pick a zone to hit into that represents a tougher target than you can expect on the course. Use the distance markers to identify
your narrow fairway or green and record a score to measure success(e.g out of 10 balls), making yourself accountable for thr results. Ultimately this will establish a target and keep you focused.
