Top 5 Tips

Top 5 things to introduce into golf

Maximum number of clubs for a set 10 (at present it’s 14)
Maximum loft on a club restricted to 58` (at present no restriction)
Should be allowed to wear shorts with your shirt outside, especially when it’s very hot (Not that bothered about having this rule in the middle of winter!!!)
Anybody found not to be ready when it’s there turn to play, to be shot!! (This is slightly extreme so maybe we could just them a 2 shot penalty)
Any person, especially if it’s a parent telling a child to keep his ‘head down’ or ‘head still’ to be banned from playing golf for a month and made to stand in the naughty corner!!!

Ask him “Did you have fun?” after a round of golf rather than what the child scored not easy to remember but will show your child what you think is important, remember what the purpose of playing games is!!
Develop skill. If you don’t know how to, find a coach who does.
Play, play, play, on the range on the practise green and the course. The best way to improve your childs game is to let them be imaginative and have fun.
Don’t ‘box’ your child into having to ‘do it right’ doing it ‘wrong’ was ok for Tiger, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, in fact everyone who has ever played the game has never fitted into the ‘perfect swing model’.
Work on the childs skill development, their concentration and visualisation skills and their ability to ‘bounce back’ after a poor shot or round or tournament.

Make golf fun
Ask him if he can do things when practising rather than telling him to do things
Make him ‘play’ it’s the greatest way to learn. This could be playing games whilst practising or on the course.
Let him create some of the games, hitting with one foot off the floor or doing a ‘Happy Gilmore’ anything that he can create as a game in his mind will help him learn to hit the ball.
Let him use a baseball grip (I do!!!!!)

Strengthen your left hand grip and push your hands forward
Imagine how you might put ‘spin’ on the ball
The golf ball slices because of how the clubface was used
Make some swings (slowly) where your clubface aims left as it passes the ball, but your swinging the club to the right.
If you slice the ball you will be doing the opposite, club face aiming right and swinging the club to the left at impact.

Think about what would bring consistency?
Consistency of what? Swing, positions, or the ball?
Consistency over the ball comes when you apply the clubface in the same way to the ball at impact time after time after time.
To do this, the player must have a ‘feel’ for the point at which the club hits the ball.
Work on hitting shots with an intention of creating the same impact with the club on ball
