Don’t Take Your Problems Home With You

You may identify one or two things that spoil an otherwise good round.If you have the energy, time, and facilities at your disposal,follow the pros example.Work on curing those faults before you go home,so that they don’t worry you until you play the next time.

Grip Maintenance

Loss of natural tackiness of your grips will affect the quality of your golf by inhibiting your shots. If you are playing weekly, clean the dirt off your grips once a month with a cloth dipped in soapy water, drying them off afterwards. Pros recommend that you replace your grips every two years.

Don’t Attempt Any Shot That You Haven’t Practised

You may find yourself in trouble. You may visualise playing a perfect shot onto the green. Chances are high that you will not pull the ‘wonder’ shot off. Play safe…take your medicine.

Don’t Overdo It! Listen to Your Body

On the range? Feeling tired? Listen to your body and leave the practice for another day to avoid those niggling muscle injuries which often result when you don’t feel 100% up to it.

Work on Improving Your Short Game

Practice chipping and putting all you can, so as to get up and down more easily when you miss the green.It will make a major difference to your score.
