Getting distance from a fairway bunker

Scott Cranfield, 26 June 2009 14:57

Hitting the ball from a fairway bunker is a shot that fills many players with dread. If you mis-strike it you may not get the ball far enough out to give you a shot at the green or, worse still, you may leave the ball in the bunker. TG Top 12 Teaching Professional Scott Cranfield says your weight should favour the ...

Hit Power Drives

Scott Cranfield, 26 June 2009 14:47

The driver. We know you've got to hit it straight to be in the fairway but, let's face it, we all want to hit it as far as we can. The first place to look for extra power is in the leg action - just like throwing a stone as far as you can. In this video, TG Top 12 ...

Three drills to cure a slice

Scott Cranfield, 26 June 2009 14:40

The dreaded slice. Just about every golfer has experienced it, so much so that nearly everyone even understands what happens when you create a slice. Coming across the ball in an out-to-in swingpath will impart sidespin on the golf ball and see it go from left to right. To change this you need to be able to change the way ...

Stop your left wrist breaking during the putting stroke

Scott Cranfield, 26 June 2009 14:28

A common fault with golfers on the putting green is allowing their hands to do too much of the work during the putting stroke. One of the main reasons for this is bending the left wrist when striking the ball. This means your stroke isn't integrated with the rest of your body and results in inconsistency on the greens. If ...

How To Avoid The Skied Drive

Scott Cranfield, 30 September 2008 13:50

How to avoid the skied drive?... The tee shot that goes vertically up into the air with hardly any forward movement is frustrating on two accounts.

How To Avoid Poor Pitching

Scott Cranfield, 22 September 2008 13:45

Is your distance control shameful into the greens? Do you often come up short with your approach shots, or just occasionally airmail the green? If you answered yes to either question then the chances are it is because you are simply playing a full shot every time. There are two keys to distance control, the first is acceleration and the ...

Improve Your Bunker Distance Control

Scott Cranfield, 22 September 2008 12:00

A good bunker player doesn't even need to watch their shot to know whether it has gone close to the pin. They can tell just from the connection made with the sand. The amount of sand you take, the depth of the sand and the connection with the sand will ultimately determine how far the ball travels. A great drill ...

How To Avoid The Thinned Iron shot

Scott Cranfield, 17 September 2008 10:42

There's not a lot of difference between a thinned shot and one you strike well. But you can feel the difference because the shudder transfers into your hands. A thin shot is caused by the ball being hit too cleanly off the ground. The club strikes a point around the equator rather than the base of the ball. This is ...

How To Avoid The Fluffed Lob Shot

Scott Cranfield, 16 September 2008 17:05

A lob shot is an extremely fun shot to play. If you can pull it off it feels great. Most golfers fluff lob shots because they stand too open at address. A sand or lob wedge has sufficient loft already not to need to be opened up massively. By standing squarer to the target and keeping your centre of gravity ...

Improve Your Accuracy

Scott Cranfield, 16 September 2008 17:05

There's nothing more frustrating than striking the ball well only to watch it fly in the wrong direction. There really is no excuse for a lack of accuracy, all you need to do is spend a bit of time preparing before you hit the shot. That means aiming correctly at the pin. Alignment starts with the clubface. Watch this video ...

How To Avoid The Thinned Chip Shot

Scott Cranfield, 16 September 2008 12:45

The thinned chip shot that shoots across the green takes your confidence away and leads you facing another chip again! Thinned chips are generally the result of too much tension in the arms which transfers through to the hands and robs you of rhythm. I've devised a very simple throwing exercise to free up your swing and help you judge ...

How To Avoid The Fat Chip Shot

Scott Cranfield, 16 September 2008 11:34

Fat chip shots are the result of the club decelerating into the ground behind the ball. You take a big divot and the ball travels nowhere. There's a really simple practice drill you can do to learn to use the sole of the club correctly so that it glides across the grass rather than digging in. Watch this short game ...

How To Avoid The Topped Shot

Scott Cranfield, 11 September 2008 14:37

The top shot really is a wasted shot. It happens when you hit on top of the golf ball rather than striking it correctly at the base of the ball. Golfers tend to top shots when they get too intent on hitting the golf ball and forget to swing the golf club freely. That means their swing stops at the ...

Scott Cranfield, 04 September 2008 15:34

As cruel as it may seem, matchplay games may well come down to those four to five foot putts.

Putting well under pressure all boils down to routine. If you can get ...
