If you are really wanting to stay a step ahead of the game this winter I recommend two things for you. First, swing the golf club for at least 10 -20 minutes daily. You can work on everything from your grip, flexibility, posture, etc in such a short amount of time. It is important to keep the golf club feeling comfortable in your hands.

The second thing I want you to do is commit to an instructor and do research before you do so. Let’s face it there are many different ideas and swings that promise you the world all over the Internet today. I can tell you a few proven instructors such as Andy Plummer, Mike Bennett, Mike Bender, Sean Foley would all be on my short list of guys that I would let have a look at my swing. Their teaching and my teaching are almost identical. Tiger Woods has launched into a totally revamped swing with Foley and I can guarantee you the information is going to benefit him immensely.

Have a look for yourself before committing to swing coaches and make sure your move is in the right direction !

One thing is for sure you should have a practice goal in mind before you even step foot on the range, putting green, or chipping green. Evaluate the state of your game so you can identify which area needs your attention the most. Once this is done, schedule a lesson, or work on that particular area. For example, if you are struggling with you chipping, don’t spend 80% of your time on the driving range! You would be surprised at how many people actually will do this ! When you arrive to the chipping area simulate real course conditions. What I mean by this is you can toss 5 golf balls in an area, play the ball as it lies, chip each ball then see if you can convert the putt. If you can get the ball up and down 50-75% of the time your scores will plummet.

When you go to the driving range, again simulate course conditions. Pick a specific target that will be your fairway. I can’t tell you how important it is to always have a target for every shot struck on the range. When you play the course every shot is at a target and you need them struck towards a specific target during practice. Even when you are working on swing positions, have a target you are hitting towards. Simply swinging away will accomplish nothing at all.

Give these simple stategic practice thoughts a go and see how it will help you.
