A few times Nick would hit a shot 1 yard to the left or right of the caddie and the caddie would have to step once to catch the ball. Nick would be shaking his head in disgust. As a scratch handicap golfer watching this it was a real eye opener as to how good you had to be to get to that level. A 5 yard miss would be huge to a person as accurate as described above. I played with TA3 recently and discovered this. More often, I was 15ft right or left even or past the hole with leaving a winding putt, he was 10ft below the hole- slightly closer and an easier putt.
He did that basically all round. If I was 40ft with a side hill or downhill putt he was 35ft in a much better spot. Hi Ian. That could be a strategy thing — picking targets where a normal miss would not be as detrimental such as short-siding yourself. Those little differences — 10ft here or there — they sure add up to a much lower score over the course of 18 holes. What they do on the range is inconsequential because they can all get the club face square at impact, chip and putt.
Got introduced to your training approach and really like your psychological approach. You are taking away the myths that surround the path to improving and that makes following your plan a joy. These myths keep disturbing your mind and thus your motorics. Nice to get rid of those! Trigonometry does not account for this. So when a face is 1 degree open, a ball will start 0. Just using small angle approximation.
Good stuff and great site! If you think pros make all them eight-footers — wrong! Figure that! The higlights defenately make it look easy. Hence some in the field play par or beyond. They never show them stray drives, unless there is a flip karma and astonishing recovery. Good birdie chance is often announced within club hacks, when you end up 10 ft off the hole on the wrong side of the cup. And you may occatinally make one of those.
It can be frustrating to see, but also understandable. Hi Tom — yes, all of my programs work well together to add and build off each other. They all discuss different topics, but with a common philosophy behind them.
I have the opportunity to walk inside the ropes at a Champions Tour event near me every year. Sorry, but the pros ARE that good. Regular Tour pros are just as good, and much longer. Nothing wrong with staying positive. Hi Bob — yes, they are very good. I mentioned that in the article. The example of hitting the ground within 0.
Or the example of presenting the face at 1 degree offline instead of 2 degrees offline. Agree Adam …. And of course we all hear about the robotic Hogan and Moe Norman and which sets unrealistic expectations. Good article especially the bandwidth idea, last night I played a par 3 hole twice, parred it both times with up and downs. The greens in particular are the place where pros typically excel. For instance, in , Steve Stricker made over 97 percent of his putts inside 5 feet.
Just think about how many putts you miss inside 5 feet every round. Probably a few. Bottom line, professional golfers are better than you realize. And if you really want to see just how good these guys are, go to the driving range and watch them hit balls. Complete with alignment guides, target points and distance markings, this mat replicates a medium-to-fast green. View Deal.

Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use - The Nelnissa Chipping Net is the perfect aid to master your short game when you're away from the golf course. The pros always have a clear idea on what their strengths and weaknesses are which gives them a framework on what to work on in practice and helps them build a strategy when out on the course. Amateurs could do with understanding their games more and then implementing what they know into practice on the range and on the course. These days pros have a clear idea on how important the mental side of the game is because it controls everything and has an impact on performance on the course.
The question is - are you doing work to try and improve our mental game? There are lots of things you can do to train yourself here, such as pressure practice, performance practice and also looking at how you process a round of golf. Seeing the shot in your head is something the pros do on every single shot they are faced with, but amateurs rarely do this. Doing so can help narrow your focus and give you a clear idea on the shot you want to play.
It can also be hugely beneficial to your game because it acts as a positive mental rehearsal for your shot. Going to the range and just hitting balls without any clear objective is pretty much a waste of time.
The pros are very good at making sure their practice sessions have a point to them and a clear idea on what they are trying to achieve. Additionally, performance practice can help create the same pressure situations that you experience out on the course too. The pros clean their clubs after every shot they hit, not just the wedges. They know that anything trapped between the face and the ball will affect the outcome in terms of spin, distance, and so many other variables.
Cleaning your club before you hit will create a more reliable and consistent outcome. They offer great forgiveness too. Perfect for a higher handicapper, beginner or improving golfer, this King F8 set from Cobra features a 5 hybrid and irons from 6-GW with regular flex graphite shafts.
