Next time you are marking your ball so you can find it, (We know our customers don’t hit them in the woods often ..but you never know right.) remember to keep your Sharpie out and mark your tee as well.

Why would I Mark my tee??

Well if you want to be a little more consistent off the tee, you should be marking not only your golf balls but your tees as well.

Ever wish you could have that consistent ball flight that the guys on tour have off the tee? Well you canok maybe not tour like but a definite improvement.

Drivers have something called (Bulge & Roll) on their faces. What this means is that no driver has a straight face. Bulge is the amount the face curves on its horizontal axis and roll is the amount the face curves on its vertical axis. Bulge is there to help you if you hit it off-center towards the toe or the heel. It works like a gear effect on a toe shot and reduces the amount the ball slices and on heel shots it reduces the amount the ball will hook.

So, let’s say you have a 10 Degree driver. Yes, the bulge on this driver will help but the roll actually will hurt more then it helps. Actually it doesn’t help at all. We take this 10 Degree driver and hit it only

1. Hit it straight
Nothing gets inside a long hitters head faster then a fairway hitting opponent. Chances are the long hitter is not the most accurate driver of the golf ball, keep the heat on by hitting the fairway as much as possible. If you have to use a hybrid club or a iron off the tee to keep the ball in the fairway, the mental edge of hitting the fairway outweighs the loss of distance.

2. Hit the green
Most of if not all of the time you will be hitting first, keep the heat on by hitting the green If he knows you are looking at birdie putts all day, it starts to wear on him

3. Have a good short game
The short game is the true equalizer on the golf course. If you have a sharp short game you can compete against any golfer on the planet.

4. Ignore his distance
Accept the fact the he hits the ball 50 to 60 yards past you. If you accept the fact that distance doesn’t matter, you will have another psychological advantage. What difference does it make if he is hitting a pitching wedge and you are hitting a 7 iron for your second shot? Golf is all about getting the ball in the hole in the fewest strokes, not how you got the ball in the fewest strokes.

When you are playing a match against a long hitter, and lets face it, with the technology in golf clubs, golf balls, strength training and nutrition, guys are hitting the ball 300 plus yards on a regular basis. The fact still remains that when you are on the golf course you are walking (or riding) with a bag of tools. It is just a matter of using the right tool for task at hand. Does it really matter what club it takes you to hit a golf ball 150 yards? Weather it’s a 6, 7,8 or 9 iron should not matter to you, and your opponents club selection should be the last thing from your mind during a match.

The pride of the long hitters game is hitting it long, so the fact that you can compete with him without having to hit the 300 yard drives is already a advantage in your favor if you choose to look at it that way. As a short hitter you should focus on keeping the pressure on as much as possible. The four steps that I have outlined will give you the mental edge that you need to negate the long drives that your opponent is blasting past you.

Do you often, or even ever move hour hands closer to the head of
the club by choking down on the grip?
I guess it is a thing that many of us forget to do.

For the delicate shots around the green, choking down on the grip
allows for much more control and feel of these shots.

Don’t forget you can use any club to make these shots, and the one to use is
usually the one that will place your ball on the green and allow it
to run from just on the green to the hole.

This is much more accurate than trying to loft the ball to the hole and hope it will
stop.
It takes a little practice to hit say, an 8 iron five feet
onto the putting surface just beyond the fringe.

However, an 8 iron may be needed to get the amount of run that you want.

So, you need to practice with several clubs so that you have the feel for each
and know what each will do.
Spend a great deal of time at this practice as it is so important and almost the total basis for reducing your score and handicap.

Make sure you can put the ball where you want it every time
and understand the type of swing you are making, pinching the ball,
or almost putting the ball, and using the loft of the club to send the ball to land on the spot,
how much back swing, firm wrists, wristy shots.

All these have to be worked out to suit you
as this sort of chip is as unique as your putting grip. stance and stroke

Don’t move on to the next club until you are totally consistent with the club you are using.
As before, if you can go out onto the course and practice with a
real green, you will benefit greatly.

At the same time, if you are having difficulty hitting the ball
sweetly, try standing closer to the ball.

Experiment with distances from the ball. Standing closer to the ball will allow you to hit it sweetly with a nice square club face.
