Quick Tips to Improve Your Game

Whether you’re a weekend warrior or chasing a pro dream, small adjustments can boost your score fast. First, work on your grip – a neutral grip reduces unwanted hooks and slices. Second, practice distance control with a launch monitor app; knowing how far each club travels saves strokes on the course.

Third, focus on short‑game drills. Chipping from just outside the green to a target within 10 meters improves confidence around the hole. Finally, stay fit off the course: core strength and flexibility keep your swing smooth and lower injury risk.

We’ll sprinkle more how‑to articles throughout the year, so bookmark this page for fresh advice whenever you need it.
