OPENING TIP
What side are you on ?

Golf is a left-sided pulling game,√ - NOT a right sided throwing game X.

NOVEMBER

WEEK 1 TIP
Heads up... or down?

There is no such thing as "head down".!!!
If your weight is on your left foot at impact, you can not lift your head. √
If your weight is on your right foot at impact, you can not keep your head down. X

WEEK 2 TIP
Putting it straight ?

Every Putt is a straight putt.
i.e. if a putt has a 1 meter break, you must putt towards the 1 meter break, √
... not towards the hole. X

WEEK 3 TIP
Putting Position & Posture

Eyes must be over the ball at address √
Lower back must be ram-rod straight! - i.e. push your head forward & your backside will push back / outwards - to give you the correct putting posture.

WEEK 4 TIP
Head or shoulders

Instead of left shoulder going under chin at backswing, think of right shoulder going behind your neck – i.e. this guarantees a full shoulder turn.√

NOVEMBER -> DECEMBER

WEEK 5 TIP
Where is your weight?

In every shot in golf, your weight must be on your left foot at impact √
i.e. Left hip pulls the left hand down and through the ball.

 
WEEK 6 TIP
Completing your backswing?

You MUST complete backswing before starting downswing!!! √
Remember, Your backswing is there to wind you up! No more, No less.

WEEK 7 TIP
Swing Pace

Try to start downswing at same pace as you start your backswing √
Try not to jump / jerk back at the ball X

WEEK 8 TIP
What is your head and body doing during the putt?

When practicing putting... On a 3 meter putt, don't move head or body until the ball has either gone in J or come to rest. √
This will train you NOT to look up, which is possibly the most destructive fault but yet the easiest to cure. B
