With the winter season coming on I am looking to improve my game. I am getting more solid with ball striking, but can see that the short game is really a big hinderence in scoring for me.

My driver is pretty consistent for about 200 to 220 meters. I rarely hit anything OB or past the rough.

Any suggestions on what I should work on, and any drills or tips?

I am working on accuracy within 100 meters right now.

I joined Golftec for the next six months. There, I can take up to thirty lessons and then unlimited practice in one of their four indoor booths. One of the nice things about golftec is that as a member, I can use any one of the many tools that are available during practice, including slow motion video/computer analysis, dynamic body sensors, impact bag, etc. I'm currently using their 60 fps camera to view my release and wrist press position at impact. Before, I thought my hands were forward of the ball at impact, but the cameras don't lie, instead showing a flipping action. So now, I'm making use of some anti-casting drills to improve this fault of mine. Maybe in the spring, I won't see as many skulled and fat shots.

gbk,

Make sure you keep your arms and body swinging together and nsync. One of the hardest things to get back after a layoff is timing. If you practice keeping your body and arms swinging together, it will be easier to find that timing. When you go to the range next time try this: At address, assuming you're a righty, make sure your upper left arm is connected to your outer left pec (chest) and then turn your body back and through. Your swing will feel shorter and tighter so start with a short iron and make 3/4 swings. When you get your arms and body swinging together correctly you will feel effortless power. Let me know if that works.

im gonna be working on long game accuracy and my swing
this time of year the greens are to inconsistent for me i normally do shortgame during the summer i keep my long game simple in summer and just tweek if need be. This winter im making big swing changes its taken me 4 weeks to hit a ball but its worth it i originally thought i could go down to 11 handicap but now im confident its gonna be single figures. IM also gonna work on putting technique only because its my worst area and my swing is now getting close to what im looking for. My bad shots are much much better .


Get to the range practise drills to improve your swing eg weight transfer hips and torso movement, shoulder turns get these right for the summer
