Putting Zone Instruction

I completed a great session of putting instruction with two brother's Shane and Ryan. The key area we worked on was "Distance control" by using proper tempo.

For those new to the puttingzone techniques we use our shoulder's and NOT our hands to make the stroke.

Our brain is a wonderful target and distance computer for letting us know exactly how far to make the stroke.

Two days after our first lesson Shane only had 10 putts over 9 holes. He went on to shoot is lowest score ever. He is a 17 handicapper and shot 80 off the stick!!!

The two brothers are 13 and 16.

A free video of their before and after putting stroke can be seen at my golf instruction website www.golfinstruction.co.nz

Swing the "Club head"


A great "swing thought" to have before making your swing is to sense or feel where the club head is in your backswing and then throw the club head through he ball.

One of the old time golf instructors back in the 30's based his whole golf instruction on this one single principle.

So when you are at the top of your back swing simply feel where the club head is and then start your downswing with the single focus of throwing the club head through the ball
