What is best piece of golf advice you have ever gotten to improve your score please don include head down or?

practice, i understand how important both those things areWhat is best piece of golf advice you have ever gotten to improve your score please don include head down or?
The best advice I got and used was spending more time on the golf course. I have straight-laced friends who will never take practice shots and never play extra holes at golf courses. These are the guys who spend hours on the range and never get break 90.





Obviously getting lessons and practicing on the range and practice green are important. But my game really took off after I started sneaking on golf courses and playing actual golf more often. Most scratch golfers learned as kids and played some golf in high school. I say this because high school golf is unlimited golf course time. Golf course time is very underrated. There is no substitute for real bunkers, decline/incline/sloped lies, various fairway widths, rough length, slow/fast greens鈥?br>




I also found this tip from David Toms to be the best putting tip. Count out how many seconds you think will take for the ball to get to the hole. Practice this from all different distances on a practice green and you鈥檇 be surprised how many seconds a ball needs to take to get to the hole from 30 feet. Getting rid of three putts will drop a lot of strokesWhat is best piece of golf advice you have ever gotten to improve your score please don include head down or?
Hold the club like your holding a bird(not to tight) don't try to kill the ball just try to hit it and FOLLOW THROUGH....Oh and have fun !!!
To hit a golf ball consistently you need to first always have a target for each practice shot. without that target you don't get enough feedback to know what needs changing. Picture in your mind every shot before you hit it. See how it flys and where it lands before you hit it.


Quick tips:


1. The toe of the club should point toward the sky at waist level on your backswing. Stop you swing at waist level and look at the club head. It should be perpendicular to the ground, not shut or open. Same position on the follow through; toe to the sky at waist level. This action shows a proper release.


2. On the downswing swing from the ground up; feet, knees, hips, then upper body.


3. If right handed, your right elbow should be ahead your hands on the downswing. Try to brush the pocket of your pants with your elbow before you release the club.


4. If right handed, left shoulder should be going up toward the sky coming into impact, while the hips turn to the left. Most golfers have the left shoulder going to the left with the hips which is a major cause of slicing. Look at pictures of golf swings in the major golf magazines of tour swings and you will see it.


5. Grip should mirror how your hands hang at your sides when standing relaxed. If you look down you will notice that both of your hands turn slightly inward almost identically. If you swing your arms up to waist level your thumbs and first finger will touch first. Slide the right hand forward and look at you hand position. that is how the hands should go on the grip. Left hand turned to the left and right hand turned to right. Most golfers grip the club with the left hand to far left and the right hand turned under the club too far. Until you get comfortable with this naturally positioned grip you will struggle with consistency because you hands are going to try to get back to that natural position, of opposing hands, at impact.
if your nota long hitter except the fact that you arent and hit it in the fairway but if you are work on keeping it in play, SHORT GAME SHORT GAME SHORT GAME
When going to the practice range pull out the short irons first to develop tempo in your swing. Use the same tempo as you go thru the bag up to your woods.


Pulling the woods out first tends to make you overswing, even on the short irons.


Tempo, tempo, tempo.
if you think you are too close to the ball get closer, it helps you to swing inside in as well as not topping or sculling ball, it helps you not to arm swing

Taught me to stop ';casting'; my club.
The best piece of advice I have ever received is really simple. The first and one of the most important things is to keep your swing short and simple. Never let your backswing go past parallel, simple as that. That will help your accuracy and consistency. One more thing is, on your backswing keep your body still do not sway at all. It will keep your head behind the ball and let you clear your hips easier. Keep both of these in mind and they should help out!
The club head should be doing all the work, not you. If you can't feel the weight of the club head during your swing your timing is probably off.
Slow smooth swing. Let the club do all the work.
Course management, practicing of weak points, grip pressure, staying in the present, focusing on one shot at a time, and putting.





Course management: If you are playing a hard and narrow course, then you have to play smart, determine where you would like to hit the ball. If there is a hazard in your way but you know your ball is unable to make it across, then lay up on you tee shot.





Praticing weak points: Let's say that you short game is horrable, then you must practice different shots with different clubs and putting to make it better. The best advice that I ever got on practicing my short game was try to incorporate some different shots to make my game better. For example, if you are in the rough and the ball is sitting deep, then use a sand wedge or a lob wedge (60 degree), open the face all the way for a flop shot. You do not have to take the club all the back, just a short ways and come through like usual but the finish is not all the up either.





Grip pressure: This all varies on the style of grip that you are using. Remember there are three different styles of grip. Ten finger grip, interlocking grip, or the over lap. One key note on the grip is to make sure that it is laying in your fingers of the top hand.





Focus on one shot at a time: Simple, just ready yourself for the shot that is in front of you at the time.





Staying in the present: Focus on what is important during the moment, not what can happen if I win or I lose. Just stay focused on your present task.





Putting: Red zone-Get the ball to with in 3 feet of the hole. Lage up there for nice easy tap in. Yellow zone-Makeable putts but with practice. Green zone- Practice, practice, practice, even pros miss those short ones.
i would say the best advice i ever got was:





1. on a scale of 1-10, your grip pressure should be between 4-6





2. shaft of the putter leaning forward slightly at contact - to help promote a true roll instead of a skip
One is when i am around the green use a 7 iron and keep the ball lower instead of trying to get it up in the are chip and run is so much easier





the other thing is line your putt up with the name on the ball find you line and line the mark on your putt up with name then all you need to do is find the speed if you have the line right
Course Management. Play to your strengths. If you are very good from 130-150 yards. Play off the tee to get within that distance. If you hit 250-275 consistently off the tee with a driver, you may not want to play that on short par 4's. Play a 3 wood or long iron off the tee to set up your second shot. If you think one shot ahead, it can make a big difference.





Another good tip is to practice your weak points. If you are consistently missing greens, and chipping is your weak point, spend time practicing chipping. You would be surprised how many strokes you can save by learning how to be consistent with your chipping. It can save par in many cases and if you two chip consistently it can shave even more if you can get up and down.
Keep your spine straight.
