Do you often hit fat golf shots when you play golf?

Well, you shouldn't. Here's why (then I'll tell you how to fix it)...

A fat golf shot is simply the result of the club striking the ground behind the ball. That's easy to understand, right?

But you hardly ever see pro golfers hit fat shots, why is that?

Here's why I believe that is the case.

Professional golfers have trained themselves to swing so the low point in their swing is in front of the ball.

Studies have found that the low point in pro's swings is about 4 inches in front (towards the target) of the ball.

So if the low point for a pro is normally 4 inches in front and they do a poor swing, the low point will almost always still be in front of the ball... meaning they will hardly ever hit a fat shot.

But for most amateur golfers the low point in their swing is the ball or behind it.

So if you fat golf shots often (at least 1 fat shot per game) then you need to work on improving your low point contact, and here's how.

Get some card of some sort. A business card is good to use for this. But it could be any card about the size of a business card or slightly larger.

Then setup somewhere that you can swing and brush the ground. Get out your 7 iron and setup to an imaginary ball, but before you swing place the card so it's 2 -3 inches in front of the leading edge of your clubface. Once this is setup then simply swing and try to contact the front of the card with your golf club.

Do this over and over again until you get good at contacting the leading edge of the card. Once you can do that consistently, then repeat this but put a golf ball just before the leading edge of the card. Once you've done that then swing while still trying to contact the leading edge of the card.

You'll find when you do this that it's tough at first to get your swing to bottom out in front of the ball, but it's like any habit, it takes time to change it.

Just remember this, if you hit fat shots your current habit is to have a swing bottom that is either at the ball or behind it.

You just need to change your swing habit and when you do, like a pro, fat shots will be a thing of a past.

So go do that drill often, and you will hit better shots and lower your handicap.

Here's My #1 Tip For Straight Golf Shots

Hi 

So you want to hit the golf ball straight, consistently?

Here's My #1 Tip For Straight Golf Shots...

Before we begin, there's one big problem with hitting straight golf shots which is this...

THE GOLF BALL IS ROUND!

Imagine if the golf ball was square. I know, I know, it wouldn't be called a ball then would it?! Duh!

But let's for a second imagine a square golf ball. Do you think it would be easier to learn to square the clubface up at impact?

I think it would.

And having a square clubface at impact is much more important for straight golf shots than swing path.

And when I say much more important - I'm not kidding.

Research has found that the alignment of your clubface at impact is 80% - 85% more important than the path you're swinging on.

That's huge!

Naturally you want the swing path to be going directly towards your target, along with a square clubface... but working on a square clubface alignment is MORE important.

And here is how I suggest you do this....

To do this drill, you'll need to get a box in which you purchase three golf balls (a three ball box).

Then take two golf balls out of the box so just one golf ball is left. Then I want you to position this box directly at your target and make sure the ball is at the end of the box where you're going to strike the box. I suggest you do this with a 5-iron.

Now the great thing about doing this drill, is that it's going to force you to really accelerate through the ball. Plus, it's going to help you to square the clubface up, because you're going to be hitting into a square edge rather than the round ball.



So smack the crap... ah... ball rather, out of the box!

The only problem with doing this drill is that after just one shot you're going to kill the box. So you need to find a good supply of 3 ball golf boxes to do this. Here's an idea... heard of dumpster diving? :-) No - just joking.

Jokes aside, this is a great way to combine training yourself to hit it longer AND straighter. And if you can find a good supply of 3 ball golf boxes, do it regularly for longer and straighter drives.

Naturally, there's a lot more to hitting long, straight shots than just practicing this. Because if your grip is bad it will be very hard for you to square the clubface up at impact.

If your alignment is poor then again, it will be tough to square the clubface up at impact consistently. And I could go on and on. But what you need to do is build a professional golf swing one step at a time.

And to help you do that I have for you The Long Game Mastery program. This program gives you a step-by-step plan to build a tour quality golf swing in the shortest amount of time. To find out more about it go here:

A Cure For Pulled Golf Shots

Hi 

Today I have a simple but effective cure for a pull problem.

A pulled golf shot is caused by an incorrect clubhead path and clubface at impact. 

Simply, the clubhead path is travelling along a line (to the left) that is not directly going towards the target at impact. And the clubface is pointing left of your target at impact.

Now I could give you lots of technical reasons why this happens but I won't. I imagine if you have the pulls you just want to fix the problem ASAP. So here's the best way of doing that.

Grab a box. Quite a long box is good. A box like you get golf clubs in is perfect. If you can't get one like that just find the next best box you can.

Next get your 5-iron and tee up a ball. Then place your box down just outside the toe of your club. Make sure you line up your box so the edge closest to the toe of your clubface is pointing just to the right of your target.

Once setup the goal is to hit the ball and not the box. If you hit the box before the ball that means your path is coming across the ball and that's not good.


So to fix your pull problem quickly simply keep hitting balls with your box positioned just outside the toe of your club and do your best to miss the box and hit the ball. When you do this obviously the ball will be starting straight at your target. 

This drill gives great feedback on your clubhead path and helps to fix a pull quickly.

Let me know how you get on if you try this.

Also, here's something else you need to try. It's called The Long Game Mastery Program. And this program will teach you, step-by-step, how to build a tour pro quality golf swing. Go here to check it out:

How to hit the best golf shots

can you see like Jack Nicklaus?

Jack Nicklaus is well known for a lot of things, but here's a famous
quote from him:

"I never hit a shot, not even in practice, without having a very sharp, 
in-focus picture of it in my head. It's like a color movie."

A lot of people will read that and say that's all well and good for one
of the best golfers ever, but not for me.

But here's the thing with that...

Jack used that to become the best golfer ever.

And so that means you can use the same method to improve your golf game. 

Visualizing is a skill.

It can be trained and improved.

And when you improve it, you will score lower.  It's as simple as that.

To help you do exactly that, in Lesson 7 of the Mental Golf Mastery program
you're taught you how to improve your visualization skill and then show you how

to use that on the golf course to hit better shots.

In the Mental Golf Mastery program you're also given an audio that trains you
to improve your ability to visualize.  This is like a training program within
a training program.  

It's an amazing skill that with improvement will only help you to lower your
scores.  So to get started doing this right now, go here to get the complete
Mental Golf Mastery program on a very generous discount.

But remember, this special ends very soon and the

price is going up significantly.

If one of the best golfers ever thinks visualization is a very important
skill needed for great golf, shouldn't you try to improve it?  I bet you've
tried lots of things to improve your game but never really focused on improving
your visualization.  I dare you to try it and see the results.  I'm sure you'll
be very impressed with your results, like this golfer was:

Best Golf Improvement Investment Ever!

"My mental game was very poor and I was looking for something I could do over 
the winter months to improve my game. I stumbled upon this program and it sounded 
perfect for my needs. I followed the program and started the new season at least 
10 shots better than the previous season. My playing partners were shocked! This 
is the best golf improvement investment I've ever made!"
