The drill for warming up before starting a match is vital in almost every sport, be it swimming, cricket, football or golf. The first few minutes of preparing one's body to meet the possible challenges it will face in the upcoming match or game is very important, because without your warm-up routine, you might end up losing out on your reflexes, mental alertness and overall physical fitness. All of that might lead to disastrous consequences! Hence how well your preparatory ritual goes, might well decide to a great extent how well your match will proceed. So don't neglect it! In the case of golf, when you spend those extra few minutes on the greens, practicing for your next match, you are actually...

Since putting is most of golf, and short putting inside 10 feet is most of putting, many people have probably considered taking short putting lessons. Let's thinks about that for a moment. What on earth can anyone teach you about short putting? There is almost no physical skill involved that can be taught. So what is that a pro would teach you in a short putting lesson? There is no correct grip. There is no right stance. There is no right alignment. There's nothing that can be called the right way as far as physically putting a golf ball into a hole from short distances. All you need to do to find out anything a pro can teach you is probably in the book the Putting Bible by Dave Pelz. Or maybe you...

Two keys to better putting and lowering your 18 holes score are a positive mental attitude toward putting and a repeatable routine on the green. Most troubles on the putting green are related to being nervous and not being sure about the putt you need to save a par or make the first birdie of the round. A positive mental approach and a repeatable routine on the green are more important than a routine on the tee or in the fairway. The foundation of a sound putting routine is reading the green, determining the line, and determining the speed. You might consider practicing your putting stroke on a putting mat. Reading the green should begin as you approach the green. When you first walk on the green...

If you are seriously considering lowering your scores, then you must take your putting seriously, as roughly half the strokes you play in a round of golf are likely to be on the putting green. However good you are at driving, pitching and chipping, if your putting is not up to standard, you will never make the next level. My Dad told me the famous quote when I was probably about 12 or 13, 'Drive for show putt for dough', this says it all! That is why it is quite incredible that putting is not often concentrated on. Tips for setup: First of all I'd just like to say that there is no one correct putting grip/posture/stroke, there are wide variations, so if your technique is different, don't worry, some...

On Thursday and Friday, Sergio Garcia conquered the greens at The Open Championship with a belly putter. What length of putter is right for you? How do you find the correct putter length for you? Conventional Putter A conventional putter would be measured from 32 inches to 36 inches. To insure the putter fits properly, take your stance while the sole (bottom) the putter is flat on the ground. Your arms should feel as they are hanging straight down and your eyes should be positioned over the ball. You may check this by dropping another golf ball from in-between your eyes while taking your putting stance. This ball from between your eyes should hit the golf ball on the green. Next, allow your arms to...

Putting a golf ball can be difficult at the best of times. For many people, when they have problems putting, they try everything under the sun including a various string of new putters.

A lack of confidence is typically the reason why golfers get "the yips" while putting. This first putting drill can be done at the golf course, home or at the office. We will start without a golf ball. Begin by simply making some putting strokes. Lighten your putting grip pressure until you can feel the weight of the putter head back and through. On each stroke, hold your finish position for a count of three seconds. If at the course, make some strokes with your eyes closed with no target. This will allow you to feel your putting stroke. Overhaul As you have practiced for X amount of years with the putting grip you have, it just may be the time to overhaul your putting grip. Since your brain is...

I know, in the real world there's no such thing as perfect putting and, it there were, Tiger Woods and others would spend their time on the practice green before every competition round. However, if you follow these simple steps then it is possible to get pretty close to perfect putting. The secret starts with using the correct grip. Place you hands lightly hands on the club and avoid the temptation to squeeze it to death as if it were snake trying to kill you. Wrap your fingers lightly around the club, but don't overlap or interlock them, and avoid the temptation to put an angle on the club, as you would when playing off the tee or on the fairway. Then address ball squarely and, above all, relax...

As much as we would like our first putt to be from six feet away or closer, most of the time we begin putting from twenty feet or more. That brings the three-putt green into play. Three principles of approach putting take it out of play. Three-putt greens are caused in the main by leaving the approach putt too far away from the hole, not because of poor aim. Putts that roll five feet past the hole often miss the hole by only a few inches. First principle: it's speed, not line. Develop a feel for speed by rolling the ball with your right hand (left hand, if you play left-handed). Once you have the feel for a particular distance, hit some putts from there with the same feeling in your hand. I tried...

Are you seeing the same decrease in your handicap that reflects your hard work and efforts? Do you consistently fall short on your drives or feel exhausted at the end of 18 holes? Do you carry the disappointment of a missed putt over into the next hole? If you are plagued with problems like these then it is time to give your golf game a boost. Change your golf game for the better by focusing on the following five areas: flexibility, strength, endurance, nutrition, and mental toughness. Flexibility: Have you ever rushed to the golf course, quickly stepped up to the tee and felt stiff when you swung your golf club? Warming up your muscles can help relieve stiffness, but it is better to be more...

Ramino is one of the easiest card games to play, but that's what makes its more difficult to win. Ramino is fast becoming a popular online casino game too. The marvel of internet has brought this game from our living rooms to the virtual world. But the essence and feel of ramino is still the same traditional game play that we have been playing all our lives.

The rules and strategies used in that game were very similar to that of Gin rummy that we play today. The game was given this name because it was generally played in bars and saloon and the losers used to pay for...

This article narrates some guidelines on the way the golf game should be played. If adhered, everyone should be able to enjoy the game; the foremost principle being consideration for other golfers of and in the vicinity of the course. Starkly dissimilar to other sports is the fact that golf is contested without a fair and just umpire. Consequently, playing the sport entails honesty, integrity, consideration for fellow golfers and the unshakeable stance to abide by the rules. Regardless of individual aspirations and aggressiveness, every golfer should internalise the need to remain disciplined, refined and portray sportsmanship at all instances. All the above values should be embodied and treated...

But aside from the fun and games, putting in a real game of golf will have a multitude of other factors that...

Golf isn't really an easy game. I often compare the role of the golf to that of a sniper. Before taking their shot, both must have adequate knowledge of their environment, must learn to take careful judgment of their distance.

Golf is a game of relaxation, fitness and a chance to have fun with like minded people. But when you get on that golf course for the big game, there are rules of behaviour to abide by, so everyone can enjoy the game to the fullest. It is called golf etiquette and is just as important as the rules of play itself. Here are eleven ways to behave properly on the golf course. 1. You need to know what the dress code is at the course you are playing at eg do you wear cleated golf shoes or not. 2. Are you walking the course or using a golf cart? If it is the latter, make sure you park it at a suitable place, so as not to impede on other golfers. 3. Do not talk when it is another players time to tee off...

What's the difference between a good putter and a bad putter? Usually, we attribute the difference to mechanics. Good mechanics produces good putting. Bad mechanics produces bad putting. At least, that's what I've always stressed and taught in my golf lessons and golf tips. However, research shows that mechanics may not be the only difference between good putters and bad putters. According to Dr. Joan Vickers, University of Calgary, the difference may lie in how you use your eyes. The secret to good putting, she says, may be using your eyes to detect the right information about distance and direction; then using your mind to relay the information to the rest of your body, so you can consistently...
