Cut out a cut stroke in putting
Cut out a cut stroke in putting
If you mistakenly cut across the ball, you will have pulls and pull-slices thrust on you. You can even incur a cut stroke in your putting. Three amateur golfers out of four slice their putts the way they do when they make normal full shots. A study says your putter face angle influences roughly 85 percent where your ball goes. Your putter path affects roughly 15 percent of yo...

Even today, some antiquated instruction preaches that impact should mirror your address position, but this is obviously not correct. Three areas of major importance are illustrated in the "view down the target line" photos below: knees, hips and shoulders.

Quit coming over the top
Quit coming over the top
Typically, novice golfers come over the top. They hit the ball hard with their right hand rather than swing toward the target. If you try to hit hard with brute strength, your right shoulder will spinout. That causes you to throw your club outside the target line, forcing you to come over the top. Eventually, you will have terrible pulls and slices thrust on you. Here are sev...

Purge your swing of the nasty over-the-top move (2)
An over-the-top move forces you to throw your club mistakenly outside the target line, inflicting pulls and pull-slices on the ball. Here are four faulty moves causing the over-the-top swing.

In 1957, Ben Hogan wrote what would become the most influential golf instruction book ever: "Five Lessons." Three keys to the Hogan swing were (1) keeping the elbows pointing down to the ground; (2) keeping them the same distance apart during the swing; and (3) keeping the top of the arms in contact with the chest so they move with it and not independent of it. It's a swing p...

Jang Ha-na to leave LPGA to be with family
Korean golfer Jang Ha-na said Tuesday she has given up her membership of the U.S. LPGA Tour as she needs more time with her family. The 25-year-old, who already announced a move to the Korea LPGA (KLPGA) Tour through her agency Monday, held a press conference in Seoul, Tuesday, and said she wanted to have more time with her aging parents. “There was a void that couldn’t be fi...

IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR GAME
During your swing, there’s a noticeable rotation of the forearms which, if done correctly, is coupled with the unhinging of the wrists to allow the toe of the club to catch up with the heel, thereby squaring your clubface at impact. Since good players have already committed these mechanics (the “what”) to memory, when they go wrong, the problem is usually the “when.” Timing c...

Purge your swing of the nasty over-the-top move
You are coming over the top if your club approaches the ball from outside your target line. Swinging your club back on a faulty path causes you to come over the top. You will incur a pull-slice if your clubhead stays open to the swing path when you hit your ball. You will have a straight pull thrust on you if your clubhead rests square to your swing path. Similarly, you will ...
