Golf Instruction Tip – Practice Your Short Game First

It's Thursday night league and you are running late as
always. You rush to the course and only have a few minutes
to warm up. If your like most guys you grab your driver and
practice hitting a few tee shots thinking that's the best
thing to do to set up your first hole. Well here is a golden
golf instruction tip for you, spend 10 minutes working on
your short game and you will notice a huge difference in
your scores in the first couple of holes of the round.

Studies show that your scores are highest in the first and
last 4 holes of the round. The main reason for this is on
the first few holes you are not prepared to scramble around
the green. You show up late and don't have time to get your
mind in the best frame of mind before you hit that first tee
shot and more times than not you miss the fairway. Buy
practicing your chipping and putting before you tee off you
are in a better position to save a shot or two on the green.

Here a couple of drills that can be done in only 10 minutes:

1.Hit 3-5 pitch shots with your highest lofted club or what
ever club you feel the most confident pitching with. Pitch
over a sand bunker or something else that would give you a
feel for pitching over trouble onto the green.

2.Hit a couple of bump and run shots with your 7 or 8 iron
(again which ever one you feel more comfortable with) from
just off the green but a ways from the hole to get a sense
of distance.

3.Practice hitting 4 five foot puts and 4 three foot puts
and then hit a couple in from a foot away. This will give
you confidence on the green and give you a sense of the ball
speed. The sort ones are the one that seem to cost us
strokes.

If you watch the pros on TV you will see they use the same
practice routine every time. I know most of us don't have
the time to practice before our round like they do, but it's
important to have a pre-round routine. If you follow this
golf instruction tip before every round you will start to
see a huge improvement in the first couple of holes each
round
