1. Anchor your foot. One of the mostbasic golf driving tips to get greater dis-tance is to anchor you foot and yourbody behind the ball.

The foot you must anchor is the footthat is behind the ball. For right footedplayers it will be the right foot and theleft foot for left handed players. If you liftyour foot too soon when swing the clubyou will lose power and distance in theshot.

2. Keep your elbow touching to yourhip. By keeping the right arm close tothe hip you ensure the body will driveyour arms and club through the ballimpact. This will decrease the chancesof your hands negatively influencing theshot.

3. Let the club do the work. A com-mon misconception amongst golfers isthat the harder they whack the ball, thefurther it will go. A handy golf drivingtip is: Focus on the middle of the balland the control you have over yourswing.

This will give you far better resultsthan trying to increase the power ofyour swing.Hitting the ball too hard willinvariably mean a slice or a fresh airshot. Relax, don’t rush the shot, concen-trate on controlling your swing and theclub will do the rest for you. Once youhave mastered controlling your golfswing you can then gradually increasethe power you use when driving theball.

4. Relax your muscles and keep yourgrip light. At the top of your backswing,make a slight pause and maintain a lightgrip through the swing.

To keep a light grip, relax the mus-cles in your forearms and also your fin-gers. If you do this, you will create a

faster, brisker swing release throughthe ball impact. This will result in alonger drive.

5. Visualise the shot. When takingyour practice swings you should try toimagine the shot you wish to hit. Makesure your swing feels comfortable andpicture the balls flight when you prac-tice swing.

This technique will relax your bodyas well as your mind. Also, never taketoo many practice swings as the thoughtof fluffing the shot will build up in yourmind and affect your confidence.

6. Rotate your hips vigorously. Byenergetically rotating you hips on thedownswing you will bring your coremuscles into play and this in turn willincrease club head speed and thereforewill result in a longer drive.

Make sure you do this in a controlledmanner and keep that foot anchored toprevent slicing the ball.

7. Use a short controlled back swingfor a longer drive. A common failingamongst golfers is bringing the drivertoo far back during the back swing.

This causes a loss in control of theclub. A powerful, more controlled swingcan achieved by controlling your wristsand rotating your body into the shot,thus resulting in a more distance.

8. Keep fit. As with any game, youneed a certain level of fitness to main-tain the ability to play well.

Try to perform some stretchingexercises before every round of golf. Ifyou have the time, a few trips to thegym each week will benefit your gameimmensely.

9. Try to hit your drives with minimalspin on the ball. To achieve this you cantee the ball up high. This will promoteless spin on the ball as you will be hit-ting it from a more underneath position.Also, try to avoid moving forward overthe ball on impact. This will alwaysreduce spin.

10. Practice as often as possible.Even though you may be thinking “thisis a cliché” … this point can never bestressed enough. Consistency in theamount of times you get out there andplay is crucial to a good game.

To hone your golfing skills you mustplay regularly. If you do not practice youwill not improve. Each time you playyou will learn to tweak your game a littlebit more and bring the lessons youlearned the previous week to the coursewith you the following week.

By Jim McLean from Golf DigestPhoto byWalter Iooss Jr.

I was teaching a low-handicapper theother day who had a classic problemwith his chipping: His lower body wasfrozen, so he wasn't rotating throughthe shot. He was stuck on his right sideand throwing his hands at the ball, hit-ting chunks.

His problem started with squaringhis right foot at address, the toe of hisshoe pointing straight out. This put hisright knee in a stuck position, so he did-n't have the fluid release of that knee onthe downswing that you see from goodchippers. I had him angle in his rightfoot 30 degrees. This did two things: (1)It put more weight on his left side,where it should be, and (2) it set up thatnatural shift of the knee, allowing himto pivot forward and hit down on theball (right).

Take your chipping setup, andcheck your back foot. If it's square,you're asking for poor contact. Angle itin, like I had my student do, and you'llhit better chips.

TOUR FACTSFrom within 10 yards of the hole,

PGA Tour players last year chipped theball on average to three feet, seveninches. That's almost gimme range.You might never be that good, butthere's no reason you should alwaystake three shots to hole out from justoff the green. The last-ranked player inthat stat chipped on average to fivefeet, and the pros make 80 percent oftheir putts of that distance. The way toget up and down more is to chip closerto the hole. Do that, and you'll clean upon your weekend bets.

Chip without the chunk

Proper club fitting can give you the consistencyand distance you’ve been looking for. Match theclub specifications with your swing. Your game willimprove drastically. Your handicap will be drivendown and you will enjoy the game more!

DON’T GUESS! GET CUSTOM FITTED!

DO THIS...Swing the putterhead straight down your line (above left).

Why? Because the first fundamental of good putting is beingable to start the ball on the line you've picked, and swingingdown that line is the simplest way to do it. The putterheadshould move a little to the inside going back, then releasedown the line. By "release" I mean let the face rotate to theleft as the putter swings straight. You'll give more putts achance to go in.

...NOT THISDon't try to swing the putter on an arc so it goes back to

the inside in the follow-through (above right). If the putter-head goes left and the face rotates left—as it naturally does—you'll tend to pull the ball. I see golfers who get into the habitof holding the face open to avoid this miss. But that's addinganother variable. Great putters have the fewest variables. Letthe face rotate, and swing where you want the ball to go.

Give more putts a chance

Golf has lots of jargon andit can be confusing. We havetried to include most of theterms we use and those youmight see while shopping forgolf clubs.

AlloyAny combination of met-

als used to produce a clubhead or shaft. Alloys maycontain aluminum, steel,beryllium, nickel, copper, tita-nium, or other metals invarying combinations. Lessthan honest descriptions ofproducts often have the term“alloy” in them to hide thefact that the product mayonly contain trace elementsof the desired metal. Forexample, “titanium alloy”may actually contain 98% alu-minum and only 2% titaniumwhich may be used to con-

fuse the consumer with “realtitanium” that has high levelsof titanium. Alloy is often acode word for substituting acheap metal for an expensivemetal.

Back WeightA weight, usually tung-

sten, brass or aluminumattached to the back of awooden, graphite or titaniumwood head. The back weightmoves the center of gravitytoward the back of the clubto assist in getting the ballairborne.

BackspinThe backward rotation of

a golf ball in flight around ahorizontal axis as caused bythe club hitting the ball. Themore loft on a club, thegreater the backspin. Certainfinishes on a club face (e.g.,milling, brass-blasting) can

also increase backspin.Balance Point

The point where a shaft’sweight is evenly distributedin both directions when rest-ed on a single point.

Belly PutterType of putter that posi-

tions the grip against theplayer’s stomach in order tocreate a pendulum ef fectfrom a relatively stable pivotpoint. Most belly putters areabout 40” in length. Belly put-ters generally are available inseveral lengths to accommo-date different bellies.Bent (or Curved) ShaftA shaft designed for use

in no-hosel putters, featuringa bend or bends within 5”from the shaft tip. Thecurved shaft creates offsetand face balancing.Beryllium Copper (BeCu)

An alloy used to produceheads for some irons. Moredense than stainless andsome players claim it has asofter feel. Beryllium headsare easily identified by theircopper coloration.

Beta-TitaniumAn alloy of Titanium both

harder and heavier than typi-cal cast titanium.

Big Butt ShaftAny shaft with a butt size

over .620".Bi-Metal

Describes club heads con-structed from two differentmaterials, for instance, astainless steel club head witha brass sole insert or brasssole rails.

Bi-Matrix ShaftPatented by True Temper,

the BI-Matrix is a shaft thatcontains both graphite andsteel. BI-Matrix wood shaftshave a steel tip section, withthe remainder being made ofgraphite. BI-Matrix irons

have a graphite tip for feel,with the remainder of theshaft being steel for control.

Blade (or Face)The striking face of an

iron head.Blade Style Head

Blades are also known asmuscle-back irons due to apossible concentration ofweight directly behind thecenter of the club face. Pre-dominately used by veryexperienced golfers.

BoronA high strength element

added to some graphiteshafts to increase tipstrength. Boron shafts aremore expensive. Since themid 1990’s boron hasbecome less common as thetechnology of manufacturinggraphite shafts has improvedtheir strength and reducedtorque considerably.

BounceThe measurement from

the leading edge of the clubface to the groundline.Wedges typically have themost bounce in a set of clubs.Bounce helps these clubs gothrough sand and high grasseasily.

Bounce AngleWhen looking at the sole

of a wedge you will notice thetrailing edge hangs beneaththe leading edge. This anglein relation to the groundplane is called bounce angle.

Build-Up TapeMasking tape applied to

the butt end of the shaft toincrease grip size. A singlelayer of masking tape (.005”thick) will increase grip sizeapproximately 1/64”.

BulgeThe curvature of the face

of a wood or metal woodfrom heel to toe. Bulge helpsgive corrective spin to shots

at the top end of the grip.Also called the “End Cap."

CamberThe radius measurement

of the sole of a club. A solecan be cambered from toe toheel, or from front to back, orboth.

Cavity BackAn iron head with the

weight is distributed towardthe perimeter of the head.Cavity back irons are easilyidentified by their recessedarea on the back of the head.

Chrome Plated FinishHigh-luster, shiny finish

electrostatically applied toforged irons and to steelshafts.

ComponentParts used to assemble

golf clubs. The three primarycomponents of a golf club arethe head, shafts and grips.Other components includeferrules, labels, tape, andepoxy.

CompressionThe hardness of a golf

ball, identified by a number -a higher number indicates aball that requires more forceto compress it. Lower com-pression balls flatten morewhen hit. 100 would be ahigh compression golf ball,80 would be a low compres-sion golf ball.

for graphite heads and faceinser ts where layers ofgraphite are placed upon oneanother and heat cured tocreate a clubhead or insert.

Conforming ClubA golf club that conforms

to standards set by theUSGA.

Core (Grip)Inside diameter measure-

ment of a grip, which deter-mines the size of the grip.Core size does not matchshaft butt sizes. The standardcore size for a man’s grip is.620”, for a lady is .590”, butboth use the same shaft buttsize.

CoverOutside surface of a golf

ball. The cover may be one ofany number of materials,Surlyn and balata being mostcommon.

CrownThe top of the head of a

wood or metal wood. It’swhat the golfer sees ataddress.Cubic Centimeters (cc’s)Measurement of the vol-

ume of a wood head.Curved (or Bent) ShaftA shaft designed for use

in no-hosel putters, featuringa bend or bends within 5”from the shaft tip. Thecurved shaft creates offsetand face balancing.

Deep FaceA club face with higher

than average distance fromthe sole of the club to thecrown. Deep face clubs havea higher CG and launch theball on a lower trajectory.

Diamond FaceA face coating containing

fine diamond crystals toenhance backspin and facewear. Primarily used onwedges.

Die CastInjection of material into a

pre-formed die to form club

heads. This process is gener-ally used on lower-pricedheads such as zinc alloy ironsand aluminum alloy woods. Itis also commonly used onputters made from brass andzinc.

DriverThe club that used to hit

the ball for the first shot on apar 4 or par 5 hole. Thelongest hitting club in the set.Drivers commonly have loftsbetween 7 and 12 degrees.

Driving IronA golf club with low loft

and a muscle or hollow bodysimilar to a wood. The driv-ing iron is a utility club mostcommonly used by golferswho have difficulty hittingtheir long irons.

Face (or Blade)The striking face of an

iron head.Face Angle

Position of the club facerelative to the intended line

of ball flight. For right-hand-ed golfers, a square faceangle aligns directly at thetarget; an open face aligns tothe right, while a closed facealigns left.

Face InsertAn epoxy, graphite or

fibrous material in the centerportion of the face on a wood-en, composite, or metal head.

FerruleDecorative trim ring,

directly on top of the hoselonmany woods and irons.

Flat LieA lie flatter than specifica-

tion. For example, if the specis 60 degrees, a 2 degree flatclub would have a lie angle of58 degrees.

FlexThe relative bending prop-

erties of a golf club shaft.Flex is usually identified by aletter: L for ladies, A for sen-ior, R for regular, S for stiffand X for extra stiff. Graphite

Sole Weighted IronAn iron head with the

majority of its weight concen-trated near the sole of theclub, producing a lower cen-ter of gravity.

Sole WidthThe measure of a sole

from the leading edge to thetrailing edge. A narrow soleis better from firmer ground;wide soles are helpful in get-ting the ball airborne fromsofter ground.

three separate metals.Trouble Club

Clubs used to play the ballfrom a difficult lie. Troubleclubs often have unusual soleconstruction - perhaps rails -that lower the center of gravi-ty. Trouble clubs may beirons, woods or hybrids.

TungstenA heavy steel/tungsten

compound is used to addweight to a club head, eitheras a swingweighting materialin the shaft or as a definedweight attached somewherein/on the head.
