Requiring the utmost authority in golf is a shot that is also one of the shortest in golf. Golf instruction chipping without authority can be thin, fat or even shanked shots. Whatever can go wrong usually will. However hit your chip shots with authority and chances are you’ll be tapping in for your next.

There are a few things that lead to a lack of authority- including fear, indecision, lack of strength – and all lead to poor chipping. Think about your golfclub like a horse.If you are’nt confident,it will recognize your concerns and play up. Far better results are obtained when it knows who is the boss and who is in charge.

Repetition is the best way to ensure authority. Add that with these two strength drills (below) and bring some authority back to your short game.                                           
First Drill- Hold your club horizontally out in front of your body, then cock the wrists. These simple exercises will gradually build strength and flexibility into those wrists, repeat each drill for 10 repetitions.

Second Drill; Hold your arms outstretched with a weight, anything weighing about a pound or so, hand weights are good, and lift up and down with your wrists.

Strength of your Wrist
Most of the time it can be a bit hard to hit a shot with some authority when the club feels heavy in your hand. To ensure you are in control of your swing when chipping, the wrist must be firm, and it must secure the golfclub. Weak wrists are a problem for many beginning women players, but it doesn’t hurt for all golfers to spend some time with these drills.

Always be decisive
There are countless articles covering club selection and type of chip shot for a particular situation. Whatever the decision you make, eliminate doubt and convince yourself that it’s the right shot.
Spend the time on the practice green repeating the same shots over and over again.
Here’s a good drill to use at home in your spare time, practice chipping golfballs into a basket set up in your backyard. If you consistently hit your target, that means you’re decisive and have strong wrists, and you are on the right path to hitting plenty of chip shots close.

Learn the proper chipping set-up; weight on lead side, ball slightly back of centre in your stance, eyes and hands closer to the target than the ball is at address.
Hinge the club slightly during the backswing with your favoured or dominant hand, learn to hinge and to hold.
Then, in the follow through, hold this position post impact. That is, don’t let your clubhead pass under the lead hand before impact. The ideal position at impact is the back of that hand should be nearer to the target than the ball is. You can release the golfclub after impact.
Don’t tense up. Scooping a chip shot into the air, getting to wristy is an amateures number 1 difficulty.

Golf Instruction Chipping Tip- Bet on the percentages

It might look fancy in the air but there’s a higher risk of error when you increase your loft for a greenside chip. Extra loft decreases the margin for error at impact and decreases the size of the landing  zone on the green.
The second bounce check-up is one of the hardest shots to play in golf, so it’s best left to the pros.
For amateur golfers I suggest going for more roll and less air time, always remembering to land on the green.. When faced with a chip around the greens, relying on a simple formula means using less lofted golfclubs. Of course, primary to this for any golf shot is some on course management. As is a brush up on the finer points of golf instruction for a balanced posture

Golf Instruction Chipping, the method
Take aim at your landing spot as your target and not at the flag when chipping. This will vary depending on the condition of the green and the loft of the club you are using. Use the following ratios, start with a five iron and increase the loft depending on the amount of the green available.

• 5 IRON

20 percent flight, 80 percent bounce and roll. ?

• 8 IRON

33 percent flight, 67 percent bounce and roll

• WEDGE

50 percent bounce and 50 percent roll.

Use an 8 iron to chip and master the bump and run, then and only then move onto your wedge.

Here is a great golf instruction chipping tip I learned a while ago, try this. In your normal stance for a chip shot, grab a ball and throw it underarm at your target to gain a feel for how hard you will need to swing the club.
Imagine how much strength is needed to fly the golfball onto the green and roll it up to the flag, by throwing the ball about two thirds of the way back to the hole. To gain a feel for the shot this is a good technique.

I hope these few golf instruction tips will help you to improve your short game and reduce the number of shots in your round the next time you go out on the course.

Finding Comfortable Golf Shoes

Golf Course Rules Concerning Golf Shoes

You need to also contact the golf courses where you plan on playing.  There are some who need golf shoes in order for you to play.  While this may seem like a bit of a spoilsport if you weren’t planning to buy golfing shoes initially, the golfing course obliging the shoes is a safety consideration to make sure that you don’t slip or slide while you are swinging your club.  A good pair of golfing shoes has spikes that dig into the ground a bit while you are standing which will provide a bit of further traction and ensure that you aren’t slipping the first moment you swing the club. 

Golf Shoe Brands

Taking your time to go looking for golf shoes is a very smart idea.  There are dozens if not hundreds of diverse colours so occasionally selecting the best color that you like can be a bit of a hard call.  In addition, not all shoes are created equally.  The shoe that’s best for your foot won’t be best for someone else.  Also, there are countless different styles that you can choose from, as well as all the different brands, materials and prices.

Improve Your Game with a Good Pair of Golf Shoes

Even for a golf beginner, choosing the best shoes to play in will ensure that you are comfortable, as well as have the grip you need while playing.  If you’re playing a lot of golf, you may quickly see how a good pair of golf shoes can perform wonders to help enhance your comfort level as well as your game of golf.  Never discount the ability of  golf shoes to dramatically raise your general performance in a game.  Taking the time to truly try on several pairs of shoes will make sure your final choice is sturdy as well as snug in a colour and style that you like and enjoy wearing.

I first became aware of the ‘Great Golf’ self hypnosis download by Barrie St John when I noticed a huge amount of online searches being made for this particular title. I purchased the Great Golf hypnosis download myself so that I could make a full and accurate review from a low handicap golfer’s point of view.

Improving my own golf mental game has drastically reduced my handicap and I always watch out for particularly effecitive golf hypnosis downloads.

Barrie has a very soft, deep, relaxing voice with a slight Yorkshire accent which is very comforting. His voice took me into a totally relaxed state very quickly and I relaxed comfortably into my armchair.He asks you to start counting down backwards from 300 but as usual, I could only get to about 280 before drifting off into a lovely relaxed, peaceful state.

Golf hypnosis downloads are very effective in utilising the creativity of your unconscious mind to create a calm state that returns time after time as you play the game you love.

Another great phrase is ’ there is nowhere you have to be, nobody needs anything, the time is yours, not a care in the world, nothing at all for you to do except to relax and let go’ which for me, as a busy Mum and writer is a deeply relaxing thought in itself and not always easy to do so it’s always good to make time for yourself to enjoy such hypnosis sessions.

The choice of music is excellent and the 3D effects of Barrie’s voice tracks are extremely professional which is exactly what one would expect from someone who has an active hypnotherapy practise on Harley Street, London.

The relaxation stage lasts for approximately 12 minutes by which time your unconscious mind is in a perfect state for the golfing part of the hypnosis session.

You may be in such a wonderful and refreshing trance that you may not notice as Barrie starts to focus on suggesting phrases and images that encourage your subconscious mind to start making major changes to the way you play golf.

Barrie John’s starting focus is about the importance of having rhythm in your golf game, commonly known as being ‘in the zone’.  We’ve all had those magnificent days on the golf course where our swing feels effortless, everything feels right, you can’t miss a putt and you wonder why you ever thought the game was difficult. All you need is rhythm.

That all important but so elusive Rhythm !

Barrie  offers a suggestion for disposing of distracting thoughts that come to your mind when you play golf,’ imagine a bin by the tee where you can drop all your distracting thoughts before you strike the ball’.

There is also a section on putting technique where you picture long putts and putting to a six feet circle around the hole where you want to leave your ball to go down in 2 putts, visualising the path you want the ball to take.

He then asks you to think of a player you admire and to put yourself in their place, to feel what its like to swing the golf club like they do and see the result through their eyes.

You’re then led to mentally practice what you have learnt, feeling how much better things feel, noticing how much more confident you are and how much you are looking forward to your next round of golf.

All in all, I enjoyed the session and look forward to using it again as I know that the more I use it I will be able to use my imagination more vividly and as with all hypnosis sessions the effects will be cumulative in my subconscious mind and as Barrie says ‘ will help me to produce positive and profound changes to my golf game.’

The recording is 24 minutes long and in my mind, it is a very creative 24 minutes and undoubtedly will bring great benefits to your mental game of golf.

For a golfer, one of the most important things that he should examine is his golf club because according to experts, it is one of the main reasons why they do not hit the ball properly. This is the exact reason why the Ping golf club was born.

Karsten Solheim was the one who invented the ping golf club with different intentions. The story has it that Karsten was practicing golf but he could not hit the ball so he started to practice up to the time that he began to design and experiment his very own putter so that he could play better through it. He thought of designing his own putter without a though that it would be known worldwide.

By the year 1959, his putter experiments had evolved into 1A design. While deciding for the name, he heard the sound of his putter and declared proudly to his wife that he would name the putter from its sound, hence the name “ping”. At that same year, Sports Illustrated published an article in their August issue regarding the ping golf club dubbing it as a musical putter.

This was the beginning of success for the ping golf club. At present, the Ping golf club is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona by Karsten Manufacturing Corporation. There are more than 400 patents registered for the ping golf club and each of these designs are all innovative and very original designs that are suited for each and every golfer. Here are some of their key patents and products:

In 1962, the Heel-toe weighting type of ping golf club was granted a patent. This design was the one that revolutionalized other modern designs and golf clubs that are manufactured today. In the year 1969, another type of ping golf club was introduced which was the perimeter-weighted, investment-cast iron.

The reason for this type of ping golf club is that the perimeter weighting is able to increase the moment of inertia thus when a ball is not struck squarely on the face it makes the club more forgiving. Another innovative movement for the ping golf club was the application of investment casting in the manufacture of the K Series Irons. This is not really a new technology in fact; the old name for it is the lost-wax process.

The purpose of this type of method is to ensure precise detail and consistency to all of the parts of the ping golf club. Another type of patent for the Ping golf club is the Cushin Selective Filtering Insert. This is a patented invention which screens out and disperses the unwanted frequencies that can harmfully affect muscle, bone, and connective tissue. Through this invention, the golfer receives less vibration with greater feel on each shot.

The reason why the ping golf club is popular and widely used is because of its innovative, ever-changing yet reliable design. These designs are what people, particularly golfers, know about ping golf club. lost one of your ping golf clubs?

Do not worry because serial numbers are here to save you! In every ping golf club, there are serial numbers which are etched on every PING iron. If ever there is a need to replace one club, the company has the exact specs at the time of manufacturing on file and could actually build a new club to match your set.

Golf has its disappointing moments. It doesn’t matter if you are starting out or a seasoned player, you can always improve your game. The key to lowering your handicap is learning to consistently groove whatever club you need to hit the ball 150 yards. If you are accurate with this club, your game will drastically improve.

You just can’t experience the best in golf unless you have cultivated “feel”. touch is a term that means in touch. Or to become one, not a part of, but more one with. As far as golf is concerned being one with the green is the same as having feel. It is a key element to improving your overall game.

The key to lower your golf score and your handicap, and keeping it there, is consistently practicing. Overall it comes down to your golf swing. Excellent ball striking helps towards hitting great scores. Finding a golf swing that is easy to implement and easy to repeat is the key to shooting lower scores on the course and keeping your handicap down. This will reduce your swing thoughts which will result in less anxiety throughout your swing.

The goal is to try and do the opposite to the hook and slice the ball or even better hit it straight. Practice this often with small adjust and you will see improvements.

If you are right handed, aim for the right of your target, do the opposite if you are left handed.This maybe helpful for you at this stage if you are still having trouble with the hook. Test this tip out until you can get a good consistent result.

Make sure that the follow through of your swing ends with your weight on your front foot. This is very important to be aware of this. Transferring your weight to you back foot will cause you to hook. Be very aware of your current swing. You may find with this reason that you hook the ball.
