To be successful in the sand you will need to learn the correct set-up, the proper technique, and point of entry. When playing short sand shots, you should use a sand wedge. The lift of the sand wedges vary from 55 to 58 degrees. They will have an 8 to 12 degree bounce. Visualize three lines in the sand, each with a different purpose. The target line goes from the target to the ball and beyond. The second line will be almost parallel to the target line, but it is the angle of your feet and toes. The third line will be perpendicular to the target line starting from the ball. This line will show where the ball is positioned, which should be in line with your left heel for right-handed golfers
Now you have the correct set-up distributing your weight equally on each foot. The clubface should be open, but only a little. This will give the ball a lift and permits the back of the club bottom to bounce off the sand
Your back swing needs to be straight or just a little outside the target line. There should be a breaking of the hands immediately as you start your swing. This will produce a vertical swing, which will push the club into the sand behind the ball about two inches or so. This is your point of entry. You are actually trying to avoid connecting with the ball and taking as little sand as possible with it. You want the sand to lift the ball from the bunker. There should be a cupping of the wrist as you connect with the sand. Cupping is to bring the back of your left hand in the direction of your wrist creating wrinkles. The technique is essential to making quality sand shots. This movement will not allow the club to close and the ball to lift in the air with backspin. Now you have the basic principles needed to make a sand shot.
When your ball ends up in the sand, you will not get to choose perfect conditions. The sand may be wet, maybe most of the sand is gone from the bunker and you only have a thin layer of sand, or maybe your ball has landed on the slope of the bunker. When faced in one of these situations, you will need to adjust the sand shot procedure. When playing in wet sand or a very thin layer of sand, the club does not need to be slightly open; it can be square with the ball. You may want to consider making a shorter back swing. Since you want to avoid the bounce of the club off the sand, you do not want the clubface open.
If your ball is on a downhill or uphill slope, your set-up is different just a little. Your feet should be just a few degrees different from the target line. You will want to stand 15 to 25 degrees open from the target line rather than the 10 to 15 degrees open for a level sand shot. You will still want the club to be slightly open for this shot.
The ball should be lined up just off the left heel for your uphill shots. For the forward motion you should swing your club upward. Make your upward swing in the direction favorable to the slope
If you are on a downhill slope, you stand should be the same number of degrees open as in the uphill. The ball should be in the middle of both of your heels. Place the majority of your weight on your left foot. (About 60 to 70%) Cock your wrist immediately on the back swing. This will give you a vertical motion, which will accommodate the downward slope.
Apply these techniques for the various sand conditions and slopes will increase the consistency in your sand shots and help your scores.
For the sand shots you will need to have a consistent point of entry. You want your club entering the sand at the same spot every time. The correct point of entry is two inches behind the ball, so you will want to practice using this drill
Draw a line in the sand about six feet long. Then take you club and make small indentations in the sand for the imaginary balls about two inches in front of the line
Make them about 6 inches apart. Then do the correct set-up and start taking swings. Your goal is to make the club enter the sand on the line. Practicing this way you can achieve consistency with your point of entry for the sand shots

Putting - keep your head up after a miss
If you miss a breaking putt, your stroke was probably fine, but your speed was probably wrong. Missing a straight putt you know your stroke was a bad one. For this reason you need to only focus on the stroke of your straight putt. Usually the putts we expect to make are the ones 4 to 6 feet from the hole, so with practice you can improve your putt from these distances.
Group together about 10 balls, but line up one as a straight putt of about 4 feet. As you go to make your first putt, make sure the head of the putter is going straight back and then straight through to hit the ball. Your putter face should be square to your target line all the time. This is one of the easiest mistakes to make and the most common among golfers having trouble with their putts. Correcting the problem takes a lot of work and attention, but if you have determination, the pay off is huge.
Set a goal for the number of putts made consecutively. When you have reached that goal; add to the number of putts until you are up to 50. Start over again at one putt each time you miss a putt
This practice will help you learn how to putt under pressure because as you are practicing and you reach 45, 46, 47, and 48, you don’t want to start all over again, so it will important for you to make the next putt
Another benefit to this method of practice is it will increase you confidence level and your fear of these types of putts will lessen
If it is difficult to go to the course, you can always practice anywhere there is carpet on the floor.
Now you will want to improve on your putting practice drills. You will be working on gauging your speed and working on your control of distance. This will be your focus for this practice drill. Use a ball marker, tee or a coin as your target. You don’t want to use a hole because you don’t want to see your ball missing the hole. From about 6 feet away, roll your ball toward the target. Focus on pinpointing the ball on the putter face. Place markers at varying distance, and practice putting the balls to each of these distances.
You will want to practice long putts, hit from one side of the green to the other. Fortunately 70-foot putts are not a common occurrence. Most of the putts you should be practicing are about 6-feet from the target, preferably 4-feet putts. You will need to practice putting on a flat part of the practice green. When ending your practice session, make short putts. Don’t quit on a miss. Make yourself to make five or six putts in a row to end the practice session.
Confidence is a huge part of putting. Visualization helps your confidence. Learn to visualize to help you stay positive. If need be, put down a chalk line for you to practice keeping your putter on the line. There are putting aids you can purchase to assist you with the centering the stroke

Golf improvement - now putting
Reading the greens will make it easier for you during the game because you will know how your ball will react to the contours of the green. You may adjust your shots to fit the greens.
To read the greens you will need to squat down for you to get a better view of the contours. With your ball in front of you a ways, squat down so you will be able to see the slopes of the green.
Look closely at your putt from the side, if there is a low side, look at your putt from the low side. It will give you another view, which will enable you to judge the distance and gauge the speed of the ball.
Cross to the opposite side of the flagpole from your putt because this will give you a view from yet another angle. If players are waiting on you to make your shot, do not hold them up.
Watch the putts of the other players. If one of the players has a putt a lot like yours, especially watch as he or she putts the ball toward the hole.
It never hurts to ask for help unless you are playing for money or defending your ego. Your teammates or partner will be happy to give you advice. Pros often ask advice of their caddies. It never hurts to have a second pair of eyes watching.
If you have already made your putt, pay attention to the details. Watch your ball as it moves; observe how it is moving, and how it reacts to the green. Try to learn from your mistakes. Sometimes our mistakes are our best teacher.
Always practice a few putts on the practice green. This will give you an idea of the playing greens. You will want to note the speed of the greens so you can adjust your shots accordingly.
Does your putting ability seem to leave your body when you are standing behind your ball on the green and the pressure is on? Let’s see what you are missing when you are in a putting situation. Make sure the grip is in your palm and not your fingers. Golfers using their fingers will tend to use their wrist to putt the ball. When you putt this way you won’t have control of your distance. If your putts end up way short of the hole, this could be the problem. If the wrists get involved with your putt shot it will add a little lift to your putter. This will use up some of the distance you ball will go.
Make sure your arms are straight and make your wrists stay out of the shot. You will then be able to put the correct amount of lift to your putter and the ball will roll the distance you need it to go. You should be able to cut your putts per hole down to two putts, assuming the ball goes in the direction you intended. Watch your score drop.
If you are having trouble making distance on your drives, maybe your body is not in alignment when hitting the ball. If you are not in the proper position you will be making a considerable amount of adjustments during your swing. First, position the ball forward, opposite your left heel. Most of your weight (about 60%) should be on your right foot with your shoulders squared up. If your body and your ball are lined up in the proper position, you will end up pop the ball in the air. This causes a loss of power. Keep your spine angle and you will see your drives level out with your ball reaching greater distances.

Improve your golf with proper grips and pressure
When holding the handle of your club, your hands must work together as one. This will enable you to strike the ball with power. There are three different grips you can use when holding the handle of the club. Choose the one best for you.
After you have chosen the type of grip you want to use, you will need to use the right amount of pressure on your grip. If you grip the club too tight it can cause weak shots, which will slice. A lighter grip will work better because it will increase the wrist alignment, which is a crucial source of the power in your swing. The lighter pressure on the grip will also add to the amount of your clubface rotary motion, which will improve your ability of squaring the club when you hit the ball.
The amount of pressure you should be using would be about a 5 on a scale between 1 and 10. Using a light grip pressure allows you to swing the club with power and control. So when you first step up and focus on the ball, feel relaxed and free of any tensions in your arms or your hands. The right amount of pressure coupled with the correct placement of your hands on the club handle, will give you the opportunity to create longer, straighter shots.
Proper placement of your hands on the golf club will allow you to control the position of the face of the club when it hits the ball. In the process of your swing, your body will use the turn to create power. You want your body and your club to work together.
A basically sound grip will help your body create power while at the same time feeling the turn. Gripping the club too much in your palm will cut down on your wrist movement, which is another source of power. By holding the club more with your fingers it will increase the amount of your wrist rotation. The end results will be more feel and longer tee shots.
Having a weak lead-hand (left hand for right handed players) grip with the club handle in the palm instead of the fingers produces a slice shot with no power.
The trailing hand is usually your dominant hand. This hand must be positioned so as to deliver a forceful strike when your club hits the ball without overriding your lead-hand. For this reason your hands must work together as one. The proper placement of your hands is crucial for consistency when hitting your ball.

Golf swing improvement part II
To look more closely at the golf swing, we should note there are three parts to a golf swing. First there is the back swing, followed by the downward swing and lastly impacting the ball while following through.
The back swing is very important to the golf swing as a whole. Reason being if you start badly you will end badly. In other words, if the back swing is not performed correctly, the rest of the swing is useless. For the back swing focus should be on the body rotation, the arm position and the club.
The downward swing starts with the legs and hips. It does not start with the arms even though the arms do the actual swing of the club. During the downward swing there should be a transfer of weight from the back to the front using your knees, your thighs, and your hips in a forward movement.
As the club impacts the ball, your weight should be on your outside forward heel and the inside of your rear foot
The golf swing is an unnatural movement the body will violently resist. So for all three portions of the golf swing to be performed correctly is impossible without specific golf exercises to ready and strengthen the muscles needed to do the golf swing. For this reason golfers find it so difficult to get right. The swing itself many look simple and easy to do, but in reality is one of the hardest things to master.
Good rhythm and balance is important to every swing because it is the key to consistency in your swing. If you rush your swing, your balance will be off and result in poor ball flight. Golfers who are outstanding in hitting the ball are seldom off balance when they strike the ball and their rhythm bonds their positions and movements. Their swings may appear to be effortless, but are actually swinging effortless and hitting solid. To correctly arrange your body motion to arrive at the striking point with a position of control and power you must have great rhythm. In turn to be more consistent when hitting your ball, your body must be balanced. Good rhythm and balance are connected. You need both to be a great golfer.
Here is a drill to help you improve your balance and rhythm. In the ground line up 5 tees about 4 inches apart. Then stand just inside the closest tee. Swing a 7-iron back and forward through with a continuous motion. Keep moving forward clipping each tee out of the ground. Repeat three more times. This will allow you to find a swing pace which will help you maintain your balance and still generate speed of the club.
Memorize your balance points while doing this drill. You can close your eyes and feel your balance as you step up to the ball, then make the back swing and stop with the club in the air, feel your balance on your back foot. Finish the swing and hold, feel your weight on your front foot and tap your back toe.
One of the best drills is to practice your swing in slow motion. Line up 10 teed balls and make your full swing in slow motion. Your balls will only travel about 10 –15 yards, but this only about 10 percent of your normal swing speed. With every set of 10 balls increase your speed by 10-percent. By the time you reach 80-percent you will have found your best balance and rhythm speed. You might be surprised to find you are hitting the ball solid and the distance your ball has traveled

Improving your Golf Swing
It is important to develop a pre-shot routine. A pre-shot routine will give you the opportunity to look closely at your situation. Get behind the ball to start your pre-shot routine. This will allow the best advantage. You will be able to line the ball with the target use your golf club to line up the two together. Once you have determined your aim so your ball will move in the direction of the target when you hit it. Etch the path of the ball and the target in your mind you will be ready to take your shot.
Next you will want to line up your body with the ball, making sure to check your shoulders, hips, thighs and feet. You should be parallel and left of the target. Keeping your eye on the ball you can take your best shot. As long as it on the line to your target, it won’t matter so much if you don’t hit the ball perfectly.
With practice and experience all of this will become a habit. Since it is necessary for you to have a target to aim for, it is important to work on this pre-shot routine till it becomes old hand.
All great golfers have a good golf set-up position. If you are determined to improve your score, focus on the basics, which are successful. Many people overlook one of the most important basics, the set-up position. Your swing is developed from your set-up position.
A good golf set-up position ensures the proper posture and placement of the feet, which will allow you to be able to keep your balance during your swing. All of the really great golfers are balance from the time they first focus on the ball to the end of their swing. Staying balance will ensure you are able to hit the ball squarely in the middle of the clubface. They key to being consistent in hitting the ball with the correct spot on the club is balance. With a good set-up you will remain balance all through your swing.
With a good set-up position you can control the direction your shot with power. The ball position and body alignment are key elements in the pre-swing; it creates conditions enabling you to take control. When you first focus on the ball, your body alignment will have complete control of the path and the angle you swing your club. Basically your set-up affects all aspects of your swing
If you want to be a great player, a good set-up position will put in a position where you are at an advantage. A good set-up will allow you to connect with the ball and achieve a good impact position. When you set-up, make sure you set-up with good impact in mind.
Most people who have played the game of golf will tell you it is one of the most difficult games to play and play well. They love or at least enjoy playing the game, but will also tell you not many people every master the game. Even Tiger has his off days.
This could be the reason there are so many people trying to sell you something to improve your skill and to help you score. The swing aids are just one of them. The swing aids for the most part do work, and they will help you improve your game. However, do we have to be able to swing like the Pros on the PGA tour to enjoy playing the game? Probably not, but it sure helps.
The reality is the basics we have heard numerous of times, such as “don’t lift your head”, “keep your arms straight”, and “turn your hips”. These tips all have one thing in common which is to make your golf club come through the down swing, and hit the ball with the club face in just the right spot, so the ball will go right where you want it. Straight down the green.
Now all those tips are important to follow for you to achieve that “perfect swing”, but you don’t have to have the “perfect swing” to play a decent round of golf. Of course you would still like to be able to accomplish that “perfect swing”. So let’s talk about some important points to help you bring your club square on the ball when you hit it, so the ball will go straight.
When all else fails, it is always best to go back to the basics. Do your best to keep your front arm as straight as possible. This will ensure your club will hit the ball for it to go straight. Keep your head down or better yet, keep your eye on the ball. You still want to keep your chin elevated enough for your shoulders to rotate giving your swing more power. Don’t stoop over the ball. Your back needs to be straight and bend at the hips. While keeping your back straight and chin up lean forward a little bit. Your knees need to be slightly bent. This goes for any and every shot you make. Don’t bend them too much, just enough to be noticed. The key point in your swing is following through your swing with you hips. Your back hip will come forward and your front hip will go back because the buckle of your belt should be pointing in the direction of your target.
Next you will want to line up your body with the ball, making sure to check your shoulders, hips, thighs and feet. You should be parallel and left of the target.
