Hands Ahead for Solid Putts


When players struggle with their distance and direction on the greens my first look is at the hand position. If your hands are not slightly ahead of the ball at address and impact, it can and will lead to inconsistent rolls off the putter face. I like to see players set up and move your hands slightly in front of the ball as shown to get the proper hand position. This will promote little hand movement and a low follow through for more solid putts.

Iron Fitting

Getting fit for irons has become a very popular and necessary way to improve your game. Every golfer has different physical shapes and different ways to swing the club. Even if you feel that you do not swing the same every time, it is important to get fit to your irons so your bad shots will be not so bad and your good shots will be great.

I find that most golfers do not realize how easy it is to get fit by your PGA Professional and often times hesitate to make an appointment. It is a process that takes only about 10-20 minutes and all you need to to is set up an appointment with your PGA Professional. Your golf professional will help you find the right shaft, lie angle, shaft length, grip, head style, and set makeup that will benefit your game the most. He will take static measurements from your body and watch to see where you make contact with the ball and the ground to make the proper recommendations.

Whether you are in the market for new irons or want to see if your irons are properly fit for your game, set up a fitting with your PGA Professional.
