The most important golf swing tips might be for the short game. You have more opportunity to shave strokes the closer you are to the green when you can hit it close. Here is a little pointer for when you are inside 30 yards.

For this pitch you want to have a grip that, when you look down with your hands on the club, you should be able to see two knuckles of the upper hand. Your grip should be closer to the shaft than to the top of the club grip.

Stand with your feet spread a little less than shoulder width, with the ball in the middle of an open stance. Hands should be a little ahead of the ball.

Your weight should be mostly on the forward foot, shoulders aligned with the target.

Bring the club back by cocking the wrists, until the shaft is parallel to the ground. As you swing, remember that you MUST accelerate through the ball. Deceleration, which is unfortunately all too common on short shots, leads to chunked or skulled shots.

Choose the club that will get the ball to the green in the shortest distance – i.e., to the front edge of the green – then watch it roll to the cup!

Sounds easy, and it should be.

Golf swing tips from Nick Faldo make the driver swing look easy. This short video shows simple advice on the proper stance. Ah, to swing like Tour pro!

Have you ever seen, or been, a golfer with ‘wild knees’ during his golf swing? I know that I have been that guy way too often. Fortunately, it doesn’t take much of an adjustment to make sure that you have the proper stance and the proper swing to get your knees working for you rather than against you.

See what I mean in this short video.

If anything, it gets the juices going when you can pick up a couple of pointers from a long drive champion, then go out to the range and see what can work for you. It is a blast (pardon the pun) just watching this guy drive the ball. Take a look at the video, sit back, and enjoy!

TopGolfNut says: the most important golf swing tips involve chipping. Good chipping is especially important for duffers because we simply do not hit the green in regulation as often as we should. Here is some simple advice on how to make consistently good chip shots.

Chipping Does Not Have to Be Hard

The shortest of shots into the green can be difficult if you don’t understand the basics of the chip shot.

Here is a short video that offers some excellent pointers.

I’ve been working on an easy way to hit short shots since I took a lesson from my local teaching pro, Scott Little, a few months ago. He helped me see how to simplify what I was doing and be more consistent in getting good results: i.e., fewer shots and better scores.

As you saw in the video, the keys that I learned are:

1) Stance: Keep it narrow, with feet close together and more of the weight on the left side.

2) Ball position: Keep the ball closer to the back of the stance, off the right foot, so the hands are ahead of the ball.

3) Swing path: Swing as if putting, so the head of the club follows more of a straight line, chasing the direction of the ball.

4) Hit down on the ball! This is crucial. If you fail on this point, then all kinds of thing go wrong and a good shot is unlikely.

5) Bonus key: Accelerate through the ball. The most common source of inconsistency in my short game comes from slowing down, or decelerating, through my swing. It usually causes me to hit the ground first, or some other equally godawful outcome. A good short swing absolutely must accelerate all the way through the hit.

Paul Hornung’s 3 Keys to Greatness

By now all of you folks in my ‘mature’ age class already know where I’m going with this. Paul Hornung, the Golden Boy himself, was famous for partying and late night carousing when he played for the Green Bay Packers. His performances didn’t seem to suffer.

Several years after he retired, he became famous all over again to a new generation of sports fans, with his Miller Lite commercials that attributed his athletic success to, “Practice, practice, practice.”

This is where I have come to realize the power of those three words regarding golf. Just like the value of real estate that depends on three things: Location, location, location. The value or quality of your golf game likewise depends on the three things spoofed by Paul Hornung:

How Obvious is THAT?

I recall that when I used to have that cushy job as a university professor, I had the time to play golf at least once per week, and I could take off any weekday if I didn’t have a class scheduled. One of my former colleagues, still on the job so to speak, even now gets in 2-3 rounds each week. Just last week I met up with him for a late Friday afternoon beer at a local pub, and he was late getting there from the golf course.

Nowadays I find myself playing less golf than I played then, mostly because I let other things take priority. It wasn’t a complete surprise, therefore, to notice that my wife, Eve, was getting better and better at the game whenever we played a round together. The reason I wasn’t surprised at this development was because she has been playing two mornings a week with different ladies’ leagues. Just playing has been her practice, and it is paying off for her scores.

A Caution About Practice

The words that ring in my ears about practice are: “Most golfers go to the range and practice the wrong stuff.” Bad swings, poor setups, wrong clubs, etc. This quote came from a teaching pro that I took lessons from many years ago. He had a good point, sort of.

If you do bad stuff on the practice range, then you merely solidify bad stuff in your golf game. This makes sense, doesn’t it?

Maybe…

Now think of Jim Furyk’s swing (or take a look at, if you can find video of it). If you put together a set of golf swing tips based on his swing, you’d have some pretty awful ideas on how to go about hitting a golf ball. This harks back to a comment by Harvey Penick in his ‘Little Red Book’ about seemingly poor mechanics. He said something to the effect of, if a golfer has grooved his swing and is consistent with it, then it doesn’t matter what it looks like. Jim Furyk is a classic example of someone who has grooved his swing in spite of it violating all kinds of classic teachings about what ‘should be’ good mechanics.

Practice, therefore, is important if you can groove a swing that works for you. Personally, all the advice in the world from the pros and top amateurs falls on deaf ears because I don’t have the reflexes, flexibility, strength, or whatever else it takes to adopt top-level advice. I do, however, have a good idea of what I can do based on my physical attributes.

And that is what I can practice, just by playing more, like Eve does, to get my scores down.

By the way, I do have a personal story to tell about how I got out of my groove and had to have a local teaching pro fix my swing. I’ll share that story soon, because it has had a tremendous positive impact on my swing, and I think it will be helpful for lots of other golfers, too. (Yes, I was practicing the wrong stuff until I made this discovery…more later).

Golf swing tips can be overwhelming. Take it easy on yourself and see what some of the latest updates are. Maybe one of the pros is helpful, or maybe another amateur or even a duffer. Just some food for thought.

Why Update 42 for Golf Swing Tips?

Okay, this is just me being funny. Or, as my kids are fond of saying, me being NOT funny. Today is a fresh slate, starting with the number 42 because it is the answer to the question, “What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?” If you haven’t read Douglas Adams’, “Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy,” then this won’t make sense. Nevertheless, it is my rationale for starting out with an ongoing series with the number 42,

What about the golf swing tips for today? If you, like me, are often overwhelmed with too much information, regardless of how good it is, then my advice is just to read over a few things, take some ideas to the range with you, and see what helps.

I am often impressed by all the great advice that I see from Tom Watson in whatever golf magazine that I may be reading. He is a world beater in golf and has a lot of great pointers. Love the guy. Unfortunately, most of what he offers is simply not appropriate for me.

With that in mind, take a look at a smattering of pointers that I have found, which seem more applicable to my game and maybe to yours. These are just ideas at the moment. Later, if and when I get a chance to use them myself (or you do, and comment back at the end of this post), we’ll see how well they worked or not.
