Another great tip is to never rush on the golf course. Allow time when arriving at the course for your practice shots and putts. Once you are on the tee, visualize the shot to be made and the spot where you expect it to land. Concentrate on the spot as you stroke the ball. While you are playing the game, skip the practice swings right before you hit for real.
Most people tend to tighten up with extra swings.
It is better to relax and fire away. Most of all don t over swing, use a three-quarter back swing for your chips and pitches. You will more than gain in control and accuracy anything you might lose in distance. Take enough clubs to get you to your target. There are so many people who constantly come up short for their approach shots to the green.
