Putt Away Golf

Golf is a game of skill, precision, and patience. While it may seem easy when watching the pros on TV, amateur golfers often struggle with various aspects of the game. Whether you're a beginner or an intermediate player, it's crucial to identify and rectify common mistakes that can hinder your progress:

Improper Grip: 

One of the most fundamental aspects of golf is the grip. Many amateurs tend to have an incorrect grip, which affects their swing and shot accuracy. We find using a thicker and longer grip can help immensely with your swing path and stability 

Incorrect Posture:

Poor posture can lead to a myriad of swing issues. Correct posture ensures that your body is properly aligned with the target. Misalignment can lead to off-target shots, making it challenging to hit that sweet, sweet hole out.

Overusing the Driver:

Amateurs often fall into the trap of relying too heavily on their drivers, neglecting their irons. Drivers are designed for maximum distance, but they sacrifice some control in the process. Using a driver for every tee shot, even on shorter par-4 or par-3 holes, can result in inaccurate shots that miss fairways or greens. To get a great idea of how far you hit each club, we recommend getting your hands on a Golf Rangefinder.

 Ignoring Putting Practice:

Putting is where the game is won or lost. Amateur golfers often underestimate the importance of putting practice. On all pro tours, the one's who win the major championships are the ones who putt better over the weekend. Thousands of everyday golfers have deceloped a more consistent putting swing by using a variety of aids like The Birdie Eye Laser & The Eagle Eye Swing Path. 

Not Practicing Bunker Shots:

Bunker shots can be intimidating for beginners. When you get in there, all you can hear is the Happy Gilmore quotes: "You're gonna need a blanket and suntan lotion, because you're never gonna get off that beach." It's a relatable quote for most of us. Try getting in the bunker at your local range and trying a variety of shots, keeping your club face open at all times. 

Golf can be a challenging sport, and few things are more frustrating than repeatedly missing crucial putts. If you find yourself struggling on the greens, you're not alone. Many golfers face similar issues, and it's essential to identify the factors contributing to your missed putts. 

Poor Putting Alignment: 

Alignment plays a pivotal role in successful putting. Incorrect alignment can lead to missed putts, even with a perfect stroke. To improve your alignment, use alignment aids or theBirdie Eye Laser Putting Aid, which projects a laser line to help you set up correctly and consistently. 

Lack of Practice: 

Regular practice is crucial for honing your putting skills. If you're not spending enough time on the putting green or practicing at home, it's likely affecting your performance. Set aside dedicated practice sessions and explore various putting drills from Google to refine your technique. 

Distance Control Issues:

 Inconsistent distance control can result in putts falling short or rolling past the hole. Practice lag putting from different distances to develop a better sense of how hard to strike the ball. The Birdie Eye Laser Putting Aid can also help you fine-tune your distance control by providing visual feedback during practice. 

Failure to Read Greens:

Reading greens effectively is an art that takes time and practice to master. Overlooked breaks or misjudged slopes can cause missed putts. Take your time to read the greens carefully and learn from your experiences to improve your green-reading abilities.
