Hints and tips from a Professional PGA coach.

Many of the swing errors of the modern day golfer come from 5 basic areas :

Aim of the club head The grip Ball position Stance Posture

Making a good grip

For the right handed golfer, make sure your left hand is about an inch from the top of the grip when placing the hands on the club. The 'v' formed between the thumbs and forefingers of each hand, should point to a position between the chin and the right shoulder.

Guidelines for a better putting stroke

The most common grip is the reverse overlap, this is where the index finger of the left hand overlaps the fingers of the right. The feet should be positioned about 8 to 10 inches apart, your body weight should be balanced to allow your eyes to be directly above the ball. The stroke should represent a pendulum, in other words the length,speed and line of your backswing should then be the same on your forward swing.
