Tip #1:
If you hit 'fat shots', which means hitting the ground before the ball, you may be crouching too low during your address position.
Tip #2:
If you are topping the ball, you may be looking up to soon - focus on keeping your head down, until after impact with the ball.
Tip #3:
A common cause of a slice shot, is having the feet and shoulders positioned too far to the left of the target (right-handed players). Focus on setting up squarely with your shoulders and your feet, to eliminate your slice.
Tip #4:
Try the 'G.A.S.P' method, for a rock-solid pre-shot routine: a) Grip, b) Aim, c) Stance, d) Posture.
Tip #5:
Improve your accuracy, by focussing on having your shaft parallel to the target, at the top of your backswing.
Tip #6:
Pushing a shot out to the right, is usually caused by the body swaying left on the downswing - to eliminate a push shot, focus on releasing your hands onto the ball quicker.
Tip #7:
Swing back slower and make a slightly shorther backswing for more accuracy.
Tip #8:
Always take a deep breath before addressing your ball - this will help you get nice and relaxed before making your shot.
Tip #9:
Make a few swings by gripping two clubs at the same time, before teeing off - this is a great warm-up drill and will help you swing with an easy tempo on your opening shot.
Tip #10:
Hit your last few shots on the practice range with the club you will use for your opening tee shot - this will get you into a positive frame of mind when stepping onto the first tee.
