There has been a tendency for people to generally force their A-game after coming from a long break from the sport. What you have to realize is that golf is very extremely technical and requires a degree of art (not an undergrad or masters). This is why I took the time to shed some helpful knowledge on how to repossess that skill which you so unfortunately may have lost a few months or even years ago.
Putting's not the easiest of task when it comes to a precision sport such as golf. .For the average lay golfer that hole is always 'so close and yet so far'. Well If you've been out of the game like I have. I've compiled some of the most useful tips on how to redevelop that old putt technique which used to be you're trump card against those ol' corporate rivals.
1. Perhaps the easiest method, what some people do is to nearly let go of the putter with their right hand, gripping the club with the fingertips and exerting little or no pressure with the right hand. The left hand will consequently then guide the ball which would have been created by the pendulum effect of the shoulders. In situations where you are missing the hole by a few inches this is the best option.
2. From here it gets slightly tougher. If you switch to a left hand dominate grip (by placing the left hand slightly lower on the putter than the right) then the left hand will be in control of the strokes and allow the right hand to be more relaxed the longer you practise over the next few weeks.
3. One of the most effective exercises would be to putt using your right hand only. do this for a couple of weeks by putting your left hand in your left pocket. Although it takes some time to get used to it, you'll find that your right hand will eventually become more relaxed and your putting average will return to what it was before. After this you can return to using both hands.
If, on the other hand, you're having trouble with your swing there are a couple of things to keep in mind. Since not every golfer is a pro (despite his/hers deepest ambition to be one):
1. The head stance (stay with me now) is very important. Try keeping your head as evel as possible.
2. For the righties out there, let the weight transfer to your right leg.
3. Bend the right leg and make sure that the tension builds up and goes into the ground rather than outside.
4. Let 'er rip!
Now the chip shot can make or break a hole. Sometimes people get it wrong and miss the green completely; if they were in a bunker they would chip piles of sand onto the green instead of the ball. the list can go on. Three is a good number, so, here are three things to note:
1. By all means please position the ball in the middle of your stance.
2. Previously I mentioned how the weight of a swing should be transferred to the right. This time, the opposite applies. Your left leg should bear two-thirds of the weight.
3. Grip handle must be lower down so as to have more control at the point of impact.
You should be well on your way to getting back that 'pro within'.
