Maximizing Your Short Game
For many players, the Achilles Heel of golf is in the short game. Most people equate golfing with all the glory of the drive, but the short game - chips, pitching, putting, and sand traps - is where true champions are made.
When you tee off, much of your distance and skill is gained by the muscles of your back. This isn't true in the short game. Here, the hands, wrists, and forearms control most of the power and direction the golf ball will end up taking on. You must develop strength and flexibility in these areas.
In fact, you may find it necessary to first do specific hand and wrist exercises designed to give you strength where you need it most. The refinement of hitting the ball toward the hole is only made better when you have the ability to control your grip and the swing of the club to the exact movement needed to get the most out of the ball.

How to Fix Your Slice
A golf slice is that irritating spin of your ball either to the left or the right of where you intended it to go. Most of us want to hit a straight, powerful hit right down the center of the course. After all, controlling where the ball goes - even in areas of high wind - is a key component of playing a good round.

How To Chip Like A Pro
Chipping is one of the most important elements in the game of golf. The drive will get you off of the tee, but the chip is what sets you up for a nice putt. Chipping like a professional golfer takes just a few things, from making sure you have a good stance to having a smooth fluid swing with your golf club.
Benefits of Learning From An Instructor
You enjoy a good round of golf with your buddies and you are on the course every few weekends, but the tips you get here and there do not seem to quite pay off and you are wondering what you are doing wrong. You have though about taking a golf lesson or two, but is it really worth?
Taking golf lessons from an instructor can improve your golf game exponentially. Your instructor can provide you with great feedback on how you can personally improve as well as give you pointers specific to your golf needs. Having a person to talk to directly can get your specific golf questions answered so you driving and short game both improve.
