Break your swing up into several parts. At the address position, your arms and chest form a triangle.

Practice the take away by moving this triangle in one piece without changing any of the angles, which means no wrist movement.

Take your club to waist height and stop there.
Practice this over and over again, during the day when you have an odd moment.
You do not have to have a club in your hand.
Simply adopt the grip position of the hands by holding your left thumb with your right hand.
It is essential that you do not use your wrists in the take away.

Next take your swing to the top and look at your hand and arm position.
Assume this position by performing your backswing at odd moments.

Next start the down swing by turning your left hip, and then continue the next part of the down swing until you are just behind the ball.

This time with a club, note the squareness or otherwise of the club face.

Next, with a club, start with club head just behind the ball and continue your swing making sure you have firm wrists and that you are hitting with you arms.
Continue through to the finish of the follow through, making sure that your right forearm crosses over your left on the way.

Practising during the day as often as you can will result in a grooved swing for you that will happen each time you hit the ball with very little conscious thought or mental input from you.

When you are 90 yards out from the green, or closer, do you ever notice that your pitch shots are not crisp, they run along the ground or do not travel the required distance to rise in the air and land softly beside the hole?

The first thing to do is have a look at your grip.

This is number one on your check list.
However, I doubt if this will be the problem.

Next have a look at your swing and see if it is too full.

If it is too full, you will decelerate on your down swing.
This is because you know a full swing will go too far.
As a result you will try to compensate by hitting the ball more gently.

The only way you can do this is to decelerate if the back swing is too full.
This means that you are not hitting your golf shot with the correct firmness or authority.

You will have to correct this on the practice fairway.

Start with a short distance and see if you can achieve this with a minimum of swing.

You will have to hit the ball quite hard to achieve what you are trying to do.
This means firmness, crispness and authority.
This is what you want.

Try to get the feel of this and take it out onto the course.

Next try to hit the ball different distances using the same technique.

Move to the nine iron from your pitching wedge when the distance is so great that you have to strain and lose accuracy.

Pretend your golf club is the big hand of a clock.
Find out how far the ball travels when you take your club back to 8, 9, 10, 11 o clock while hitting with the same firmness and authority.

It is essential that you do not sway to the left (right handers) when you hit a bunker shot. Pretend you are in a tube and that the only possible movement of your body is a swivel or turn. So when you make your shot, you turn your body.

To check this, stand with your back to the sun so that your shadow is cast in front of you.
Place a piece of cord on the ground in the long axis of your shadow.

Place your head shadow over the cord so that the cord bisects it. (equal amount of shadow on each side of the cord).
Now swing as though in a bunker and watch the shadow. You will be able to detect any movement to the left.
Concentrate on rotating your body with no sideways movement to the left.

Try to hit the sand one inch behind your ball. Place a soft marker here and look at it.
Forget about the ball.
Taking a slow deliberate back swing hit the marker behind the ball taking a good divot which also includes the ball.
This is the trick in bunker play. Concentrate on taking the sand.
Forget the ball - it will go with the sand.
Make sure you have a good follow through or you will quit as soon as you have hit the ball.
The ball will fly out of the bunker and stop quickly as you will have applied some spin to the ball by hitting the sand so close behind it.
Use your soft marker to give you a target to aim at until you feel confident to do without it.
