The Cart Path

12:11 pm May 31, 2009

According to the rules of golf, you typically get free relief (no
penalty) when your ball lies on an artificially surfaced pathway,
specifically a cart path.

However, there are times when the relief you get is worthless
because it puts your ball in an undesired location, like a tangled
grassy area.

Sometimes your only option is to make the shot from the actual cart
path, which is the lesser of evils (in terms of choices).

When shooting from the cart path, there are two things you should
definitely NOT do:

1. Never use your putter. Although the cart path is firm, using a
putter to hit the ball can be disastrous. For example, the road on the
famous St. Andrews course is made from tiny little pebbles. They
can causes balls to roll in various directions, wobbling the entire
way.

2. Never send the ball airborne. Don’t use a high lofted club from a
firm rocky road. It’s best to use a wedge in these types of situations.

The Swing- Continued…

6:05 pm May 30, 2009

Every player loves the feeling of hitting the ball with everything
they’ve got. Using a smooth & graceful swing to give it all the power
you’ve got & the ball is sent skyrocketing down the fairway.

What a feeling!

That is all great, so long as your power shots are done with
accuracy. In order to achieve the right strength & precision, the key
is to make contact with the ball consistently every time you swing.

Practicing & hitting correctly the right way should be your goal.

A. What’s Got To Happen:

1. Learn to make contact with the ball on the clubhead’s sweet spot.

The sweet spot, as it’s called in golf, is the small central area on the
face that makes the ball travel just right.

2. Hit the ball so that the clubface makes contact perfectly square. In
other words, perpendicular to the ball’s target path.

3. Swing so that when the ball is hit by the clubhead, the clubhead
moves directly down the flight path that you are aiming for.

You have to hit the ball with a kind of a downward descent in order
to send ball forward & up into the air correctly. This is true for every
club besides your driver & putter.

Beginner golfers tend to miss this important technique when learning
to swing properly.

By hitting the ball with a descending blow, the clubhead hits the ball
into the air because of the club’s built-in loft. When you hit “up” on
the ball, as many new players do, missed hits & short shots can
result.
