The Least Practiced and Most Important Part of
scoring in this ever complex game is Chipping
& Putting. In this edition of our Golf Tips,
we have quoted Tom Watson & Golf Digest to
share with you some valuable help in these
two aspects of the game.

|
Chipping -- The easiest way to improve your chipping
is to remember to start with your weight on the left
side and maintain your weight on the left side
throughout the shot. With your weight forward
and braced against a solid left side, you will
strike the ball with the proper downward blow and
hit it crisply. This will also help eliminate the
wrists from breaking down.

|
Putting -- Bend over more at the neck so the
eyes are looking straight down at the ball -- many
of us have the tendency to look out over our noses
too much while addressing a putt. Have a friend
check your eyes when you are over the ball to see
if you are looking straight down, or, while working
on the putting green, take a ball and drop it from
between your eyes until you can land it on the ball
that you are going to putt.

Golf Tip Extra
Quoting Dr. Bob Rotella
|
Develop a Pre-Shot Routine and Stick To It
-- First it turns off your conscious mind,
which if active disrupts your ability to hit
a solid shot. Second, it gets you focused
on the target and nothing else.
