A lot of golfers use their wrists to putt which is one of the worst things you can do. Although you need a light grip, your wrists should be totally locked when putting to stop the club head moving all over the place during your swing. Read more…
If you’re consistently hitting your putts off line then you’re probably setting up wrong which is a really easy thing to fix, try this series of tips and you’ll be putting straight in no time!
Tip 1
Line the ball up with your left eye...
Not setting yourself up properly is one of the most likely things to cause duff putts. Check that you’re doing it right. As you stand over the over the ball at address you should line up with your left eye directly over the top of the golf ball.
Decent golf tips are difficult to come by so I’m going to start adding a new one every couple of days so you can practice your skills over the winter. All of these tips can be practiced in the range or out on the course.
Try them out while you’re at the range by printing one off and taking it with you, or just look it up on your mobile while you’re there. Remember though, don’t fry your brain by trying too many tips at once, just master each one at a time and you’ll get some real success.
If you’re just starting out in golf, get lessons. It’s so worthwhile and will set you up properly for the future. I was taught by my dad which was great but meant that I instantly copied all his bad habits which still haunt me today.
If you’re an internediate golfer, then you should find these tips extremely helpful. Learn how to draw the ball, fade the ball, swing better, aim better, grip better. Quite simply, everything you need.
If you’re a pro, then leave some comments or maybe write a tip or two for the rest of us so we can enjoy some of your success!
Whoever you are, thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy all the info. RJ
This is why I play the damn game
Brad Clegg with his smashed camera
John Daly beat up his biggest fan in Australia today…the camera. Having caught Daly doing all sorts of things in the past, it was about time it got the kicking it deserved, or so Daly thought as it captured him duffing another shot. The camera belonged to a another fan, Brad Clegg who luckily escaped a beating himself.

Aldi has just announced it is selling lots of lovely golf gear at very cheap prices this winter. As from tomorrow the 4th December you will be able to find it all on the shelves.
It is not all cheap rubbish either, they’ve got some decent titleist golf balls to chose from. It looks like a great deal if they’ve got any left by the time I get there.
Anyway, here are the bits on offer:

Australian champion Peter Lonard seems to be worried that new golf pros coming through the ranks in Australia are becoming “wussy” and reliant on sports shrinks, yoga instructors and gurus of all kinds.
He’s currently in Queensland gearing up for the Australian PGA which he hopes to win for the fourth time. With the tournament to tee off on Thursday, he’s found time to seek out a journalist and complain that golfers are just copying the field of top-tier golfers.
In what was surely the finest week the club has seen, all 112 girls fought it out to have a chance to play “The world’s most exhilarating golf hole” – the Extreme 19th at Legend Golf & Safari Resort.
