 Golf Tip of the Fortnight 

  General Tip  

Here's an extremely general, but nonetheless valuable, tip that applies to learning any part of the game:

If you have a recurring problem that you are trying to correct exaggerate in the opposite direction to get results more quickly.

Simple example:

You have a slice. You keep trying to hit it straight; it keeps slicing. Advice: Stop trying to hit it straight - that is making it slice. Instead try making it hook -- a LOT (that is the opposite). In your attempt to make it hook it is likely that you will not actually hook it, but even if you do manage to hook it it will be good news because at least you will get some different feedback. You will learn something from exaggerating like this. Then you can adjust and refine from there.

Note: I would recommend starting the exaggeration process slowly and smoothly rather than violently or at full speed.

All the things you can do to get more distance are covered in detail in my book "Hitting it Longer."

Just Meandering

Happy Holiday Season to you.
