Golf Strategy to Improve Your Golf Score

Plan a golf strategy when teeing your ball anywhere between the markers, but not forward of the markers. Don’t forget that you can also tee it a maximum of two club-lengths behind the line of the markers. Before you stick the tee in the ground take a good look at what is in front of you. And know what you are looking for.

Practically, every golf hole has more trouble on one side of the fairway than it does on the other.

This trouble may be visible: a string of white out-of-bounds stakes, a fence, or a body of water.

It may be serious, : longer rough on one side than on the other, or a fairway trap on one side. It might be just a line of small trees, or a hidden ravine, or it might be one big tree with spreading branches out there in the rough about 220 or 240 yards from the tee.

Whatever the trouble is, make this your rule: Tee up your ball on the same side of the teeing ground as the trouble lies, and shoot away from it.

If the worst trouble lies on the right side, tee up on the right. Aim for the left center of the fairway and let fly. This way you will be at least starting your shot away from the danger zone. If, playing from the right side, you slice badly enough to bring the ball back into the trouble, you will still have two sources of satisfaction:

The ball won’t be as deep in the trouble and you will know that you at least tried intelligently to avoid it. There is always the chance, of course, that you will hit the ball across the fairway and into the rough on the opposite side, but then you have been caught by the lesser of the two evils and the advantage is still yours.

Golf 101 Resistance Training

Resistance Training for Top Performance

No doubt you have already heard of the benefits that can be gained from resistance training in different sports, but many people are unaware of the fact that resistance training can also be highly beneficial to the golfer.

Obviously, with all things being equal, a stronger golfer will be able to hit the ball further and any added distance that can be gained can have a huge affect on your scorecard at the end of a round.

When you add all the little improvements together that can be garnered from the correct clubs, to the best fitting shoes, to the simple things like remaining hydrated you can see substantial overall gains to your performance.

Now add resistance training to the equation, even if you only do it for 20 minutes three times per week and you will be sure to see an improvement in your game.

Resistance training also adds to your endurance and with the likelihood of fatigue being eliminated from the last holes of your game you can dramatically reduce your handicap.

I have seen golfers make massive changes to their performance with nothing more than an increase in their fitness from resistance training.

Imagine how well John Daly might play if he was as fit and healthy as Tiger Woods.

I am sure anyone can see that there would be an improvement in his game.

Small improvements at that level can be translated into big paydays.

Daly is good, but he could certainly be better, and the same applies to us.

Strength and fitness are just another part of the recipe for a top performance on the course.

In addition to the strength and endurance aspects of resistance training, it will also help to assist your posture and this can eliminate any areas of concern in your stance and swing when you know what to address.
