Chipping
The most important thing to remember when chipping is to keep your hands ahead of or level with the clubhead through the follow-through. Make sure they stay in front all the way. Grip down near the shaft for more control, bend your knees a bit to get down to the ball, and keep the club […]
Rush to the tee
Chipping right on the first tee is an even quicker way to get ready, especially on slower days. When you’re short on time before a round, a few chip shots are a great way to warm up your muscles and sharpen your focus without feeling rushed. Many golfers, in a time crunch, head straight to […]
No time to practice?
If you’re short on time but still want effective practice, stick to hitting your 7-iron. This single club, known for its reliability, helps build consistency and confidence in your swing. It’s a simple way to make real progress without spending hours on the range. Take a page from Tin Cup—use that 7-iron to your advantage […]

The hardest shot
The hardest shot in golf is always the next one. While lessons help us improve, the real key to getting better lies in the mind. Our mindset is the most powerful tool we have to improve every part of our game. We need to believe that what we’re learning is truly working. This explains why […]
Chasing rainbows
Start by standing a few steps behind the ball, visualising the line to your target and how the ball will fly towards it. Approach the ball from behind and secure a solid grip on the club, choose something on the ground inline with the target about a 30cms infront of the ball. Set the club […]
Turn and burn
The turn in a golf swing should be really simple. Just turn your back to the target, then turn your belly button through. Your weight should naturally follow your center of gravity—if it’s not, you’re swaying instead of turning.
