"GOLF TIPS: The head changes a golfing stroke


This is an old tip that someone reminded me of several weeks
ago. Many golfers tilt
http://www.1stgolfclub.com/169-Ping-G15-Driver.html and
turn their heads while at the address position. This is an
issue because golfers tend to start their back swing in the
same direction their heads are tilted.
If a golfer's head is slightly tilted toward the right
shoulder, they usually have an inside-back swing. A good
example of this type of swing is Jack Nicklaus.
But if a golfer's head is aimed toward the left shoulder,
the back swing usually starts toward the outside. This
happens because golfers tend to tilt their head to focus
with their dominant eye.
Next time on the course, check your head alignment by
holding a scorecard in your mouth. Look down at

your ball so the edge of the card shows if your head is
lined squarely with your target.
Downhill Chips
One of the toughest chips in golf is from a downhill lie.
Most players try to "scoop" their chip, thinking they are
helping lift the ball. Scooping is the worst thing you can
do on a downhill chip.
By scooping the ball, it will fly lower and with less
backspin than a normal chip. Instead, plan to land further
from the hole to allow for the added roll.
As you address the ball, keep your weight on your forward
foot. Try to stand as parallel to the hill

as possible with your shoulders level to the ground. Use a
steep-swing angle of attack to strike the ball first, then
the grass. This is a great time to use your sand wedge or
60-degree wedge for added loft.
Using this swing for 15 minutes at the practice chipping
green will help your game immediately.
Variety of Shots From Gary Player
During a clinic at Pebble Beach, I had the opportunity to
speak with Gary Player regarding the variety of shots he
needed to win five British Opens and many events on the
Senior Tour.
Player believes he has an advantage over many golfers
because he mastered the shots needed for

all weather conditions. Although Player is known for his
excellent bunker play, his ability to control the ball
flight and distance in windy conditions is a true art.
Golfing in the windy afternoons of San Benito County calls
for the same ball flight http://www.1stgolfclub.com/
control as Gary Player. Selecting stronger lofted clubs and
punching shots into the wind will result in lower scores and
shots.
Using more club and easy swinging helps keep your balance so
the your ball will fly straighter in windy conditions."
