Great practice tips for escaping from the sand,,,I don't recommend using this bunker though with it's wall of death :-)

Which Swing Method Should I Use?

2010-10-12T19:45:00.001+01:00

For the past year I have been researching different teaching methods to see whether there is an easier way to play golf and improve your scores.

I came to one conclusion - there is no right or wrong way to swing a club, it is all down to the individuals preferences and how much work they are willing to put in. Every method I tried had its good and bad points.

Stack and tilt required a very different movement than I was used to and although I watched the videos and tried the techniques I didn’t feel I improved, that’s not to say it doesn’t work but I wasn’t willing to put the effort into changing without seeing a coach directly.

David Leadbetters swing ideas are very close to what I have been doing and this was the easiest to follow, it didn’t require too much change and I liked the fact that most golfers could perform the moves. There are also over 70 instructional drills which aid in your practice.

Break Par Blueprint was born out of one man’s desire to shoot level par within a year. He literally bought every training aid, instruction manual and hit thousands of balls. Read about his story and whether he achieved his goal by clicking on the link above.

The One plane swing was a concept I really got stuck into as it is based around one of my heroes – Ben Hogan. I liked the feeling of connection in the backswing but felt it lacked any flow in the follow through when done properly, also you had to be physically strong to perform the move as it involved a lot of core movement.

Moe Norman. The numbers tell the tale: With 17 holes in one, three scores of 59, four scores of 61, and more than 30 course records during his career, Moe Norman dominated Canadian golf through the mid 20th century. His method was also one plane but with a totally different set up. Again I tried this for a while but unless you have a dedicated coach watching you in the early stages it is difficult to trust the move. However they do have a fully supported website where you can download your swing and have it analysed, but in my opinion because the setup is so different than the “norm” I’m not sure it would take off with most.

In conclusion my suggestion to you if you are thinking of a swing change or want to improve your game, find a good coach and set about a program for improvement. There is no point in ripping your swing apart if you cannot find the time to practice, if you have any time to practice spend it working on rhythm, and balance and work really really hard on your short game.

As a player this is where you will see scores tumble. You may not like the way you hit it but if you can up and down from 50 yards and in or do no worse than 3 shots just think how good your score will be!!!

Congratulations Europe - Awesome

News: Congratulations Europe 14 ½ -13 ½

What a fantastic competition, European confidence was high going into the event but after the first two sessions they were down 6-4. A little pep talk from Monty and they turned the tournament around in the third session winning 5 ½ out of 6 points – Brilliant!!

But what a nail biting singles session, down to the wire with Gmac showing the determination and passion needed to win golf tournaments, expect exciting things from him in the future.

Swing Tips: 5 Tips to hole more putts

1. No peeking – By keeping your eyes fixed to the spot where the ball once was your strike will improve and therefore your accuracy.

2. Spend a week only practicing straight 3 foot putts – If you can hole out from this distance you will 3 putt much less.

3. Visualisation – If you can picture the pace and line of a putt you will have a greater chance of holing it.

4. Place more weight on your front foot – This will give you a firmer base and improve your strike.

5. Practice – When was the last time you spent more than 10 minutes practicing your putting? Try the above drills and watch your scores tumble, your goal is to have less than 30 putts in a round.

Fitness Tips: Yoga Better Than Western Medicine for Back Pain

A study just published in the journal Spine found that a group of low back pain sufferers who regularly practiced yoga postures had less pain, improved function, and a better mood. What's more, they were far less likely to take drugs for their back problem than a matched group who received standard medical therapy.

The results were dramatic: the yoga group had far less pain, less functional disability and less depression when compared with the control group.

Misc: Winter Practice Plan

With the summer season coming to a close I would like to know how your season has gone. Have you played to your potential? Have you reduced your handicap? Have you won any major tournaments? Please email me at the address below.

So what now? Do you have any aspirations for next season and how are you going to achieve them?

I have had a poor season by my standards, firstly due to a niggling back injury and secondly due to lack of practice last winter. Never again! I plan on getting down the gym or doing some home based exercises to target my golf muscles. I will then consult with my coach and develop a plan of attack for improving my golf swing, I have a nasty habit of leaking my driver 50 yards to the right at the moment (need to get rid of that).

I would be interested to hear what you have in store for this winter, send me an email to see if I can help in any way.

Ryder Cup Week

***********************

TIP OF THE DAY!

***********************

First Tee Nerves: With the Ryder Cup coming up this week

you are going to see many rookies with 1st tee nerves, so how

will they deal with it? I personally take some long deep breaths,

over exaggerating the inhalation and exhalation. When I am

ready to play I make sure I visualise the shot splitting the

fairway and then trust in my pre shot routine.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Europe or America - Who do you think will win? Personally I think it is going to be very close but I think Europe will emerge victorious, let’s just hope the weather is good!

News: Captains predict competitive Ryder Cup

"It's going to be very competitive. It's going to come down to who makes the putts," U.S. captain Corey Pavin said. "It's hard to win over here."

European captain Colin Montgomerie agreed.

"These matches will be very closely contested. On this occasion, I think it will come down to a Sunday putt," the Scot said. "But that's the beauty of the Ryder Cup, the closeness of it over the last few years."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Swing: How to create the feeling of resistance in the backswing to hit it further.

Here’s a great simple drill that with constant repetition will teach you this crucial backswing move. If you are doing this outside use a towel so you don’t get your trousers dirty. Now kneel down and hold your club behind your back so that it it's resting between your elbows and place your hands on your hips.

When doing this make sure your knees are about shoulder width apart and your posture is the same as it would normally be if you were addressing a shot. From this kneeling setup position simply turn your shoulders and hips as far as you can. Your knees should not move and you will feel some resistance down your left-hand side, only turn as far as you feel comfortable then hold the position and take some deep breaths.

Do this exercise over and over again to ingrain this backswing feeling. And when you go to swing normally you should have a new feeling in your backswing. A much more powerful, loaded up feeling. This will definitely help you to get more consistent, increased distance. And I’m sure you’ll like that!

Results: Furyk clinches Fed Ex Cup Title and a $10million bonus.

Jim Furyk enjoyed a big pay day on Sunday in Atlanta.

The 40-year-old won both the Tour Championship and

the Fed Ex Cup title for the year, the latter of which alone

brings with it a $10 million pay cheque.

Furyk was able to hang on in the rain on Sunday, edging Luke

Donald by a stroke.

The American made a good start to 2010, winning twice before May, but had a fairly ordinary summer. In fact, he missed the cut at two of the majors this year: the Masters in April and the British Open in July.

Fitness: Core strength is vital to maintaining your golf posture, these exercises will help.

One of the biggest challenges as it relates to irons is consistency. What can we do physically to become more consistent? By facilitating better posture, specifically our ability to maintain a consistent spine angle throughout the entire swing plane, we can become more consistent. Core stability and strength is one of the keys to maintaining a good spine angle.

Typically when we address the core we target all the abdominal, back and glute muscles. For our purposes this week we will address the rectus abdominus, obliques and transverse abdominus.

Control your Distance & Score Lower

2010-08-18T12:03:00.001+01:00

How would you like to consistently get the ball inside 10 feet from within wedge range? I'm talking about those critical 'scoring' shots from, say, 120 yards and in? Just imagine how many shots you could save in a typical round.

The most common fault amateurs make when faced with what I call 'scoring' approach shots is deceleration into the ball - especially on any kind of 'half' shot when you are trying to take something off the maximum distance you could hit a particular club. Any time you decelerate you risk making a poor contact and that simply leads to inconsistency.

The method I advocate eliminates that problem. This method uses a smooth accelerating stroke which is highly repeatable and holds up in any pressure situation. To properly control your landing distances you need to control your rhythm. Remember, this is not a power swing designed to hit it the ball a long way. As a rule, I use only 75% of my full power on these shots - and I urge you to do the same to enjoy a softer flight, greater feel and more control on the trajectory of the shot and its landing.

Working on your wedge game is all about developing a scoring 'system'. Because this is such a vital aspect of the game, I carry four different wedges and use two distinct distance control swings - a 'system that gives me 8 accurate yardages between 35 and 120 yards.

THE SET-UP: It is critical that you use the same set-up every time you practice and execute this shot, as only then can you achieve quality feedback and improve. In the 7 years I have been working on this system my distances have barely changed.

BODY ALIGNMENT: Align your feet, knees, hips and shoulders parallel to your ball to target line.

BALL POSITION: Play the ball in the middle of your heels. Then turn your leading foot out by 15 degrees or so - this will open up the hips slightly,making it easier to clear through the ball. [It's an optical illusion that the ball then appears further back in the stance - but flaring out the left foot helps to promote a consistent strike.]

TIME TO WORK ON A PRO SCORING METHOD

I base all of my distance control shots on my hand position in relation to an imaginary clock face (six o'clock being the ball position). Basically, I work on a 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock swing for all 'part' shots of between 35 - 50 yards, increasing this to a 10.30 backswing to 12 o'clock follow-through on all other distance control swings for shots of between 60 and 120 yards. The goal every time is to swing your hands consistently to these positions with the same rhythm. This will give you the feel and control to hit accurate yardages time after time.

When you initially rehearse these moves from the set-up position, I'd suggest practising at first without a club in your hand - just make a few rehearsal moves. This takes the 'hit' out of the equation, and so improves your rhythm. When you feel comfortable, move on to hitting pitch shots and measuring your yardages. Take 12 balls to a grass range and work between your scoring clubs - i.e. your favourite wedges. Once you have hit all 12 balls with that relaxed, easy swing, pace out to the centre of the cluster (at least I hope it's a cluster!) and make a note of the distance. Ideally, you want to get hold of a measuring device, so that you can get an accurate number every time. The idea then is that you repeat this process with all of your clubs using these two swing combinations.

With the ball position at 6 o'clock on the imaginary clockface, I use two frames of reference - a 9 o'clock 'part' swing and 10.30 'full' swing

The Perfect Golfer

Have you ever sat down and thought about how many different aspects make up the game of golf?

If any one of these links is not up to scratch then you cannot perform at your best. By taking a look at the attached Mind map you can see how much focus you put into each area of your game and therefore set a program of improvement.

Give each section a score of 1 - 10 (1 being the weakest )

By doing this you can clearly see areas in your game that you neglect - by practicing each section in turn you can begin to improve your overall game and become more consistent.

A good weekend

2010-07-28T12:59:00.000+01:00

Finally had my first win of this season - a 7 under 65 at Stoneham GC

The hard work finally paid off, that combined with some good mental preparation.

2 days later I finished 3rd at Basingstoke GC. Didn't play as well but dug deep finishing with 2 birdies for a 2 under 68.

Really looking forward to the Trilby Tour Finals in a few weeks!

Alignment - Vitally Important

2010-07-28T12:41:00.000+01:00

When teaching inexperienced golfers I find that they are usually mis-aligned to their target. Typically, they aim way too far out to the right. The reason they aim to the right is because the inexperienced player has the tendency to hit at the ball with their arms which causes an out to in swing path and pulls the ball to the left.

They are compensating for a flaw in their swing by just aiming their body out to the right instead of fixing the actual flaw. This in turn means that the inexperienced players' bad swings make the ball go on target and their perfect swings make the ball end up in the trees on the right. So, they are seeing their good shots as bad shots and bad shots as good shots.

If this is the case, the inexperienced player will never want to fix their swing flaws. If they don’t fix their flaws they will never reach their golfing potential. This is why alignment is high up on the list of importance in the golf set up.

Check Your Alignment

In order to find out if you are a player that has swing flaws, you must check your alignment. To do this, all you have to do is pick out a target and do your normal set up. Once you feel like you are ready, lay a club down at your heels or toes. Then, step back about 10 paces behind the ball to see where you are actually aimed.

If the club you placed at your toes or heels is parallel left of your actual target, you have properly aligned yourself. If the club on the ground points to the right of your target you are mis-aligned. If you find that you are mis-aligned, you must learn to square up your stance.

To do this, simply find a target in the distance that you want to hit the ball to. Take out 2 golf clubs, place the first club so it points directly at the target (you will have to step back a few paces to check this). Place the second club parallel to the first club on the ground. Now, take away the first club that is pointing at the target. You should have one club on the ground that is parallel left of your target.

Once you have the club on the ground parallel to your target line you have a guide to help you align your feet, knees, hips and shoulders squarely. If you aim your body squarely to the club on the ground and you hit the ball to the left of your target you have just found out that you are pulling the golf ball which means you are trying to hit the ball too hard with only your arms. If you hit the ball to the right of the target from this square alignment you are sliding your body too much laterally through impact which is causing the ball to fly to the right.

Learning that you are mis-aligned can be quite shocking at first but don't think of it as a bad thing, think of it as a good thing. It's a good thing because you now know that you have a swing flaw and you can get on the road to fixing it so that you can play even better golf in the future.

The Perfect Grip

2010-07-19T13:28:00.001+01:00

The key to all great players is "correct fundamentals". Most problems occur if one of these is incorrect, this then leads to swing adjustments to correct the poor shot and before you know it your swing has lost all of its natural flow and balance.

As a coach these will be the first things I look for to improving your consistency. For example, if you had a very strong grip (4 knuckles showing) then you are probably hitting a low hook. To compensate for this you would have to aim right or hold the clubface open through the impact area.
So what started out as one fault has suddenly become 3. By bringing the set up back to neutral your consistency will improve and the poor shots will be closer to your target.

First make sure your clubface is square (leading edge of the club points directly away from you).

Using your glove hand, position the handle of the club across the top joint of your forefinger and under the heel of your palm. You can now crook your forefinger around the shaft. And from doing this you'll find that you can raise the club up off the ground and maintain a firm grip just by supporting the club with the muscles of your forefinger and the pad of your palm. Once you’ve achieved this position, lower the club back down and simply close the last three fingers of the left hand around the club.

Your left-hand thumb should be put in a position just to the right side of the front of the grip. Doing this will cause your thumb to fit closely alongside the rest of your hand. When you have done this you should be able to see 2-3 knuckles.

Now for the right hand:

It is very important that you note that the grip of the right hand is all in the fingers, not in the palms.

Begin by placing the two middle fingers underneath the handle with the little finger pointing downwards. Next, slide the fingers up until they reach your forefinger of the left hand. You will find that the little finger now rests on top of the left forefinger. After getting to this position you simply have to overlap your right hand so the lifeline of your right hand fits snugly over your left thumb. There should be no gaps between your right hand and left thumb, as they should fit snugly together.

The thumb of your right hand rides down the left-hand side of the grip and not on top of the club, as many people do. The picture below shows the completed grip.

Foursomes disappointment

2010-03-23T19:50:00.000Z

After a promising start in the morning, winnning 4&3, we had a great game in the afternoon but lost on the 19th hole. Great to get the juices flowing though after such a long lay off.

1st Event of 2010 - Sunningdale Foursomes

2010-03-15T18:20:00.000Z

Finally! the wait is over. After such a long winter it's nice to be back into tournament mode. My first event of the year is the Sunningdale Foursomes, I am partnering Jon Le Roux, a great all round player and good friend so hopefully we can do well.
We tee off tomorrow at 08.30 on the New Course. After a practice round today we are confident, but matchplay is a funny game so we will see how things go, the main thing is to enjoy it. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!

Long Backswing Short Shots...Why?

2010-02-16T15:31:00.006Z

By Steve Cowle

Is your backswing too long? Many players feel that if they swing the club back a long way it will make them hit it further, but if this were the case the majority of tour pros would be doing it also – but they don’t.

When you watch the Pros on TV they all have different backswing techniques, Sandy Lyle has a very short swing as opposed to John Daly who swings it very long. However they do have similarities.
Pros fully hinge their wrists meaning the angle between the left arm and the golf club at the top of the backswing is 90 degrees. By keeping the wrists loose throughout the swing and providing you grip it correctly this is easily achieved and gives you maximum speed through the ball when unhinged correctly at impact.
The backswing coil in the swing determines how far the left arm goes back. You need to keep the left arm comfortably straight. Sandy Lyle coils his shoulders about 80 degrees compared to John Daly who turns about 110 degrees. Ideally you want the shoulders to turn 90 degrees and the hips 45.

You need torque in your swing, and this is created by the turning of the shoulders in relation to the hips. To get this feeling sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor, you’re back straight and your hands across your shoulders. Now turn your shoulders as if making a backswing. You will find that you can only turn your shoulders about 45 degrees and the feeling you are getting in your back and hips is torque. This is a good feeling, think of yourself as a giant spring, the tighter it coils the faster it uncoils and the further you will hit the ball.

Some find this feeling uncomfortable so to reduce the torque they over-rotate the hips, avoid this at all costs if you want any consistency in your swing.
Others get the torque with the body but then collapse the left arm at the top of the backswing, again avoid this at all costs, the more the left arm bends going back the more it has to straighten coming down leading to more inconsistency.

Draw Versus Fade - Which One Are You?

2010-01-13T10:52:00.002Z

By Steve Cowle

Are you one of those many slicers out there just dreaming about hitting a draw one day? If so, I ask you this question ... why?

Jack Nicklaus referred to a fade as his "bread and butter" shot, as it is so much easier to hit. Even if he wasn't playing his best, he could always rely on a fade to get him around the course.

NOTE: Don't get me wrong. All golfers should learn how to hit a draw because there are times when it will be beneficial to do so. I just don't want you trying to hit a draw on every shot.

Why Do You Want to Hit a Draw?

You are trying to draw the ball because you feel it's going to give you more distance. If you are currently slicing the ball, you think that gaining more distance is going to solve all of your problems... will it?

As much as you may think that hitting a draw is going to solve all of your problems, a draw has problems of its own. Here are a few:

1. Most holes are designed for left to right shots.

2. The ball will not land as softly on greens (especially with long irons)

3. You need your "A" game to hit this shot consistently.

4. It’s harder to hit the ball from long rough.

So, as you can see a draw may not be the answer to your problems. So, what is?

The Answer

Instead of trying to master the hardest shot in golf, why not try to hit it straighter? By doing so, you will gain more distance because the clubface is more square as it hits the ball and making this change is so much easier than trying to master the hardest shot in golf. Even if the ball still fades a little it will still go much farther than hitting a huge slice. Plus, the closer you get to a neutral swing the easier it becomes to move the ball both ways when you find yourself in trouble.

Why Do I Slice It?

2009-12-31T01:23:00.001Z

By Steve Cowle

I hear it all the time, someone comes to me for a lesson saying that their mates have been helping them to fix their faults, these mates tend to be 18 handicappers who haven’t the foggiest idea about ball flights and swing paths. There starts the downward spiral to golfing hell where the only way out is to see your golf pro. That’s great for me but generally expensive for you.

One way to stop the downward spiral is to learn the basics of ball flight, it is easy to understand and when your ball does start doing funny things you will know why and therefore be able to put a stop to it.

Swing Path

The swing path is the line the club travels on in relation to your target, and this dictates where the ball starts its journey.

1. In – Straight – In...ball starts off straight

2. Out – in...ball starts to the left

3. In – Out...ball starts to the right

Ball Flights

The movement you see in flight is caused by sidespin put on the ball; this spin is caused by the clubface in relation to the swing path at impact.

Results of an In – Straight – In swing path:

White line – clubface square to the swing path

Red line – clubface closed to the swing path

Yellow line – clubface open to the swing path

Results of an Out – In swing path:

Red line – Fade – the clubface is square to the ball-target line

Purple line – Pull – the clubface is square to the swing path

Blue line – Slice – the clubface is open to the swing path

Yellow line – Pull Hook – the clubface is closed to the swing path

Results of an In – Out swing path:

Yellow line – Draw – clubface is square to the ball-target line

Purple line – Push – clubface is square to the swing path

Red line – Hook – clubface is closed to the swing path

Blue line – Push Slice – clubface is open to the swing path

How to practice?

2009-11-13T19:30:00.002Z

Hi Guys,

All of my swing work is done in the off season, I will start seeing my coach ( Russell Covey, Bath GC ) in the next few weeks, sit down with him and set myself some goals for next year. I hate it when I tinker with my swing in the golf season as I never get any consistency.

I am not one to hit too many balls in a session because I start to tinker, I will maybe hit 100 - 150 including warm up shots working on swing mechanics. I am very much a tempo guy as opposed to a hitter, so if I get in my groove early I will maybe not hit so many balls. This usually takes 1.5 hrs.

I will then spend another 1 - 2 hours chipping and pitching. I like to mix it up a lot so I usually take 12 balls with me and just throw them, I will then chip to 1 or 2 different flags and only count the ones that are within 6 foot of the hole.

My putting practice is done in my garage at home just working on stroke mechanics, I can go out there whenever, I don't practice outside in winter as the greens are not good enough and the more you see the ball miss the lower your confidence will be. Even when I play in the winter we tend to give ourselves putts inside a putter length because we wouldn't normally miss them.

I then go and play either 9 or 18 depending on what i'm working on. And I do this 3 or 4 times per week through the winter.

I also need to get back in the gym and especially back to my Yoga classes, I have struggled with little injuries this year and it's all because of poor flexibility.

By the time the golfing season comes I am usually itching to go. I have a set pre game routine that includes 20 mins stretching in the changing room, then down to the range - 20 pitches with a SW gradually getting longer, 10 7 irons, 10 4 irons working on tempo, 2 or 3 shots with a Driver or until I hit one straightish, few pitches to finish. Then up to putting green, start from 2 ft to see the ball going in, then pace putting to the fringes from varying positions just to get a feel for the greens. All of this will take about 1 hour.

When I am not in a tournament I will work on anything that I feel is a weakness, whether that be slight swing adjustments, the mental game, bunkers. However I will always continue with my short game practice.

I still putt in the garage but on the greens I will tend to putt a straight 4 - 6 footer in between a couple of clubs. The longer putts is done with 1 ball working on pre shot routine.(see my site for free tips)

For me this is a full time job, I need my scores to average 2-3 under par to make a decent living and to do this that is how much work I put in.

You must decide how much time you can devote to practice and structure that time effectively. get yourself a good coach now and feel happy about their methods. If you have limited time work on your chipping and pitching. Putt at home while watching TV. Stretch lots to prevent injuries and increase distance.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
