  • Keys to stop hitting it fat

    It is such a killer shot to both your score and mental state. My key to prevent hitting it fat is to keep my sternum the same distance from the ground throughout the back and down swing.

    Yet I see many pros including Tiger Woods who dip very low on the downswing yet consistently make flush contact.

    Seems there are a lot of ways to ensure consistent contact with the ball first.

    Please post your key(s) to hitting the ball first nearly every time.
    Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.

    One of the biggest reasons that’s overlooked by many golfers, including myself until it was pointed out to me was the fact that my shafts were too long in my wedges. Quick fix was choking down until I had them cut.

      a narrower stance helped me.

        It's not about what you know, but everything about what you understand.

          Because they go down then up while the club is still traveling down

          Wear a shirt with a logo on your left chest and feel like that logo is going up thru the ball. It works for me....
          I like big putts and I cannot lie
          You other putters can't deny
          That when a putt goes in with an itty bitty pace
          You're gonna fist pump in their face - Sir Putts-A-Lot

          It's how well you golf fast!!!!

            Seems like that makes it more difficult to repeat consistently? I'll give the logo a try.

              Nice.

              Anybody know if there is a video of Martin teaching Holly how to properly tee a ball or better yet picking the ball out of the hole?

                Mine's a simple one. I tend to aim at front edge of ball or up to an inch in front of the ball. Especially with higher irons. Works well for me on avoiding the fat shots.
