Quick Golf Tip: Check the local rules.

Local rules are specific rules or modifications intended for the course that you will play. They are very helpful as they can offer relief in some dodgy situations. Local rules may offer relief from flower beds, staked trees and environmental areas. They will tell you if you may take relief from a cart path, sprinkler heads on the fringes, and border fences. Some courses will have lift, clean, and place in effect all year round. You may also learn about ground under repair and drop zones. The local rules may be listed on the back of your scorecard or posted in the pro shop. When playing a new course, always take a minute to look at the local rules as they may help you quite a bit.

Quick Golf Tip: Stay in the zone.

All golfers have experienced days when everything seems to go right. Your shots are struck solidly and the holes look large when you are putting. Golfers call this phenomenon as being "in the zone." When you are having a great day, try to stay in the zone to keep a great round going. Keep the same routine that you have been using all along. Avoid any swing thoughts as they may inhibit the great swing that you have going for you. Stay in the present by playing one hole at a time. Try not to project a great score for the round as this will introduce pressure and distract you from the task at hand. Relax and let it happen rather than trying to manipulate anything and you will stay in the zone for a great day.

Quick Golf Tip: Make blind shots easier

Occasionally, you will have a shot where you cannot see the green or fairway. To hit your shot accurately, go up the hill and note a land feature on your line. It may be a bush, rock, or anything that you can use to align yourself. You may have a partner or caddie walk up the hill and indicate your line. They must move out of the line before you play. If you are pitching to a green where you cannot see the flagstick, you may have someone hold it up. The same rules would apply as to someone tending the flagstick while you putt.

Quick Golf Tip: Never settle.

Golf is a difficult game, and no one ever truly masters it. However, you should always try to improve your game. Many players stay at about the same handicap for their entire life. Part of the fun and challenge of the game is getting better. Read golf instruction in books, magazines, and online. Watch videos of professionals giving tips and instruction. You can search online for a particular area of the game in which you want to improve. Take lessons and always follow regulations, fairways hit off the tee, and number of putts. See if you are getting better over time. It is great fun to have an improvement plan and then making it work.

Quick Golf Tip: Never hit a wrong ball.

At some time or other, every golfer has hit a wrong ball. If you hit someone else's ball it is a two-shot penalty in stroke play or loss of hole in match play. Always mark your ball with a permanent marker in a way that clearly denotes your ball. Use dots, lines, shapes, or any mark that you will easily recognize. When you get to your ball, take a few seconds to carefully ensure that the ball you are looking at is yours. If the ball is down in deep grass where you cannot identify it, mark it and lift your ballot check if it is yours. Always tell your fellow players when you are marking and lifting. You may also mark and lift your ball if it is plugged deeply in a bunker to identify it.

Quick Golf Tip: Be careful of tap-ins.

At some time or another, every golfer from a top tour pro to a thirty handicapper has missed a tap-in putt of less than one foot. Often, a player will lean in on one foot to tap the putt and lose his/her balance unexpectedly and miss. If you might be stepping on someone's line, let that player go first and then set up your putt. Some players set up and feel anxious and then make a quick, stabbing motion to get the putt over with as fast as possible. Take your time on tap-in putts by taking your normal routine of practice strokes, aligning your putter and stroke through the ball to the hole. Missing a tap-in becomes very frustrating and can disrupt your game during a tournament.

Quick Golf Tip: Stop the Chop

If you continually strike the ground before the ball when pitching, you may be chopping at the ball. A chop is caused by having your lead arm break down in the backswing by bending at the elbow. The result is a chopping motion with your hands and arms on the downswing. More often than not, the club is slammed into the ground. To rid yourself of the chopping motion, feel as if your shoulders and hands form a triangle. Practice moving the triangle back and through as one piece. Let your shoulder and core power the triangle back and through. You should see immediate improvements in your pitch shots using this method.
