Golf Tips
#1: Your golf club grips- How often do you replace the grips
on your clubs? If you play more than 30 times a year, you should
replace them every year. But in between replacements, you should
also be sure to clean your grips frequently. Clean grips stay tackier
longer and retain their softness better, too. Use warm, soapy water
and then rinse them and dry them. Your grips are the only connection
between you and the club -- so be sure to keep them clean.
#2: Long Sand Shot- You are in the sand with a good lie,
but need to hit the ball 40 or 50 yards to carry either over the
lip of the bunker or to make it to the pin, and running the ball
up to the green is not an option.
What to do?
Heres what to do, use an 8 iron and enter the sand two inches behind
the ball while using a full swing, but without trying to hit it
as hard as you can.
In using this approach, if a mistake is made you won't be as likely
to hit the ball too far, which may put you over the green where
most of the trouble tends to lurk on any given hole.
