Yet, most everyday golfers have no routine and wonder why they’re so inconsistent. Lacking a routine can increase your mental activity, which makes it harder to swing your normal swing like you do on the range. This is why so many golfers are great on the driving range but can’t take their swing to the course.

The golf grip is funky. Do you remember when you first started playing, and you gripped the club naturally, and then your instructor told you to basically put your hands in a position that is the exact opposite of natural? Your hands are the only connection you have with the golf club. If they are not on the golf club the right way, the chance of y...
I have noticed that when placing a club down at an address, the clubhead is not always square. You would think that golf clubs are all made to be square, but it’s not quite like that. What looks square to me might not look square to you. Your inconsistencies in your game could be because you are putting the club down at a different angle each time.
This is not the most fun fact for some golfers, but the game is becoming more athletic. We are starting to see that coming down the stretch, when you need to put a ball in the fairway and make a solid closing par, you will have a much better chance if you are in good physical shape. Golfers are dropping the hot dogs and beer at the turn and grabbin...
It’s fun to practice hitting long drives. However, trying to hit that 6-iron high and have it land softly on a green may be a lot less fun. Don’t go to the driving range to try and be a driving range star. Hit the bad shots at the range and work them out. Go there with the intention of making progress in your golf game. I like to practice the shots...
I used to have this terrible habit of starting a round of golf with one swing thought and then changing that thought six times during the course of a round. This is a bad idea. Pick something you are working on and stick with it for the majority of the round of golf. Of course, if there is some glaring issue, you can fix it, but try to stay consist...
Golf equipment can cause inconsistencies in your golf swing. We can’t blame this all on the golf clubs, but I can give you a little story that will probably help you understand why the clubs you are playing with will matter. Years ago, I was testing clubs at a demo day, and there was a set of irons that I loved. These were blade-style irons, and th...
The stance, setup, and posture are a few of the things that professional golfers work on the most. If your feet are not in the right place, how is the rest of the golf swing supposed to fall into place? Remember to practice your stance. Golf alignment sticks are cheap; they help you get into the right position, and you will ultimately start to get ...
Certain great players learn how to use their hands in their golf swing. I won’t tell you that the hands should play no role in the swing because that’s not true. However, if your hands get too involved, you can expect to see some inconsistencies in the swing and the game. Players who are able to use their larger muscles like the core, shoulders, an...
Have you been told that it’s not good to have too many swing thoughts? That would be correct. However, what is untrue is that having no swing thoughts is best. You still need to have the proper mindset about your actual plan to hit the golf ball. I usually like to have one or two things. One of those is usually setup or stance related, and then the...
If you have ever watched a quirky golfer like Keegan Bradley, you can truly understand the importance of a pre-shot routine. Bradley is fun to watch, until he isn’t. He makes a ton of moves before he hits, and there are adjustments and lineups and walk-arounds that occur before he’s able to pull the trigger. However, if you watch him play often eno...

Jun 4, 2024 · By: Nick Dimengo. While there are lots of reasons why you might struggle with ball-striking, a common one is simply not rotating enough in the backswing. When this happens, players often sway ...
There are 9 potential reasons: Too much hands, not enough rotation. Your swing tempo is off. Your golf clubs don’t fit you. You don’t practice enough. Too many swing thoughts. You do not have a go to stock shot. Not enough swing speed. You don’t have a system or a coach.

Aug 6, 2024 · The longer you play the game, the more you develop bad habits, which creep into every element of your swing mechanics. Golf is both a physical and mental game. If you have either physical or mental fatigue, you may need to take some time away from the game to rest. Start tracking your golf game to pinpoint the areas causing the higher scores.
