Have you ever wondered why you lose your concentration in the middle or towards the end of your round of golf? Before you know it, you have made back to back double bogeys to ruin a great round. Focus on finishing stronger to reach your potential. Achieve a better finish by keeping your body properly fueled before and during your round.

When facing long putts, you want to give yourself a realistic chance to make the next putt. Try to imagine a circle around the hole about 3 feet in diameter. Practice hitting lag putts to improve from long distance. A lag putt is a longer putt which a player does not expect to make. A good lag putt positions the player to have a simple putt on the next stroke. The lag putt typically stops short of the hole.

It is estimated that over 90 percent of the golfing population routinely slice the golf ball. Unfortunately, there is not one specific fix to magically hit the golf ball straight. The golf swing functions with a cause and effect relationship. If you create an extra move in the swing, there must be a compensation somewhere to make up for that extra movement.   Proper fundamentals create solid golf shots. Compensations in the swing are a temporary band aid for a swing fault.

You may have noticed how easily PGA Tour professionals swing a golf club. While the swing appears effortless, they are generating an enormous amount of club head speed. They maximize their ability by maintaining their balance and swinging the golf club with the proper tempo. Balance in the golf swing is essential to consistent golf shots.

All golfers are searching for a way to hit the ball for additional distance. Even the longest PGA Tour players would like an additional 10 yards. One way to increase distance is to maximize swing speed. While increasing swing speed will help hit the ball farther, it does not guarantee more distance. There are many variables involved in hitting a golf ball farther. If you cannot hit the sweet spot on the club face it is basically useless to increase swing speed. Work on improving impact, tempo and balance throughout the golf swing. If you lose your balance, you will not hit consistent golf shots.
