Best tip I got was, "golf is a game of opposites."

When I first started out, I tried to get distance by swinging harder and muscle everything. Then I tried a smooth, slower, and rythmic swing and guess what? I hit further.

Shoot for the back of the green. If you miss hit the club you are still on the green. I notice most players come up short the most of the time.

Well, my variation to that is when between club hit the longer one. I find in most cases it puts me closer than the short one.

I stretch my back with pilates and walking. This allows me to play two days in a row if I want too.

I hope by stretching your back you mean your

upper back and not your lower back... As for my tip: Some days you "have it," and some days you feel like you have nothing. Well, if you check your grip , stance and posture , and waggle you will feel you have it every day, and you'll be able to use it!! Here's why: -A correct grip will activate the proper muscles of your arms, the muscles that run along the inside up to the armpits. A correct grip also eliminates the possibility of one hand overpowering the other hand during the swing. -A correct stance and posture will activate the correct muscles of your body... the muscles that run along the inside of your legs, your chest, abdominals, back, etc. -The waggle is essentially a mini-back swing. In other words, your back swing is nothing more than an extension of your waggle... so if your waggle is correct, your back swing should me more or less correct. In my honest opinion, if you master these three you can forget about what your arms and hands do in the swing. You will be able to hit the ball long and straight without any thought to back swing or downswing because your body and mind will be already set up to do nothing but execute a golf swing .

Great tip!

* if putting (or bump&running;) and the ball passes the hole, remember the line for the return put. (its easy to get annoyed that you just missed and turn your head away and forget the information that could be gained)

* fairway bunkers (120 yards upwards etc.) focus on the middle>front part of the ball, that way a nice clean contact is made and a full distance from the iron used.

* maybe a personal one for me (and my friends!) .. be prepared for the tee-off time .. ie. have tees, balls, pitch-marker, marker, etc etc. everything already prepared before the tee-off (not seconds before!). That way you will start the round with a nice relaxed tempo which will set the tempo for the whole round.

* again maybe a personal one again, but formulate a pre-shot routine (putting too). that way I can think about a few things before the tee-shot (ie. draw/fade, take-away, tempo, ball flight etc.) but when i walk up to the ball I essentially just swing and concentrate on tempo only.
