 Golf Tip of the Fortnight
Tip for Avoiding Penalty Strokes (and Looking Bad)
Take all your practice swings (full swings and short game strokes, both in practice and when playing) far enough away from the ball so that there is not the faintest possibility of accidentally hitting the
ball. It is shocking how often I see this -- in all types of strokes -- though it should never happen at all. Clearly high and middle handicap golfers do not have a highly developed sense of body/club awareness and so should take
care not to make this easy-to-avoid mistake. Not only is it a penalty but, worse than that, it makes you look and feel so incompetent that the chances of playing a good shot afterward is almost non-existent. When you see golfers on
television taking practice swings close to the ball they are, of course, well-qualified to do that from years of experience and refined feel. Getting farther away is safer for most players. You really don't want to hit the ball
accidentally. Won't it be an interesting study, after reading this, to see if you ever do it again?
I work with golfers of all skill levels on all areas of their games (individually or in small groups of friends, family, co-workers, etc.) in my Private Golf Schools.
