I have concrete in my garden but I bought a chipping net from ebay for £12. I also bought a small patch of a range mat I use to chip the ball from and into the net. Works ok but i'd prefer some fake grass or carpet for a better experience.

Are there any drills to practice slower/lose swings at all? I have the same problem where if I feel like I need to go for a long shot I tense up and come down at the ball so hard I lose 30-40 yards of distance. However, there have been times where I will casually hit the ball so lose and slow and it will fly over 200 yards with a 5 iron. Just cant seem to find consistency when I'm thinking about my swing :(

Glad you sorted it mate. Everytime i have a bad round at the range with a certain club, i deliberately try and keep hitting shots with the same club and end up going home with back and wrist pain. Best to take a week off and go back with a clear head

I usually stretch out, take a few practice swings, a few chip and putts and get onto the first hole to tee off... probably why i take a few holes to get going!

Point taken - thanks

Bumping.. as im not sure if this has been seen.

OK I got a couple of face on swings from my session today. One of them went straight and the other sliced ( apologies i cannot remember which one due to my phone saving them) Can you let me know if you can find any faults please. Thanks

Ill get a face on swing next time im on the range. Im sure ive improved on the hip movement though. EvetythingGolf- do you mean my right shoulder moves down too much on the downswing? Would appreciate if you could assist me in understanding what the best position should be? Thanks alot

What am I doing wrong here.. MY friend said I hit before the ball but the majority of the shots I hit today finished on the right :( Thanks All

Someone please help me.. ive regressed.. slicing so many shots (especially with my woods) and i cant tell what im doing wrong. Ive been told to twist my wrist through the ball but im not sure if thats the reason.. Videos below..

My book arrived last week. Planning on taking the book to work to read in my car at lunch times. Ive read the first 5 pages and I can tell I'm going to learn alot from this.

Thought id give an update.. have taken the advice received on here and the putting thread and i can honestly see a huge improvement in my game. Shot a best ever 97 score yesterday and even got an eagle at the maxx royal in Turkey last week :) Just need to work on how to use my driver and 3 wood now and i keep slicing it! Thanks alot guys

My line is generally good but my distance is horrendous. The amountof times i hit the ball too lightly then smash the ball off the green with my 2nd putt is amazing. Could someone recommend me some youtube videos please? Thanks

Hi, Wondering if someone could recommend me some tips for improving my putting (books, videos, articles) I usually score anywhere between 110-130 but i easily 3 putt almost evety hole, sometimes 4. Played yesterday on a 4 ball where there was a 400 yard par 4 with a lake to the right hand side and i was just off the green in 2 shots.. ended up 4 putting to finish on a 6. So frustating!!! Thanks all

Thanks, that helps alot. Quick question... where are your thumbs meant to be pointing on the top of the back swing? I am now always hooking the ball and it seems its because of the face of my club path at the top of my back swing.

Ok ive tried taking the advice ti the range today and did fairly well although I did hook and slice the ball more than i'd like to. Could you tell me if there are pointers you can pick from this video. Apologies in advance for the bad quality, my friend is a really bad camera man! [video]http://youtu.be/svsTkqcqZUY[/video]

Hi boogielicious, Thank you very much for the advice, really appreciate it. I will try practicing my hip turn and flaring feet the next time im at the range and report back.

I've been Playing Golf for: 3 Years My current handicap index or average score is: 110 strokes My typical ball flight is: 50% of my shots are good clean hits which go straight. The others ranges between either me topping the ball or the ball slicing wide right The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: slice right Videos:
