Make a habit of remembering the great putts you have holed, it will keep you in a positive frame of mind every time you face a putt. Train yourself to see a clear mental picture of how you want to hit each shot before executing the shot. Good tempo is critical in achieving a good golfswing. Focus on a smooth transition from the top of your backswing, into your downswing and all the way through to the follow-through position. Improve your accuracy by aiming your clubface first, then position your feet, hips and shoulders square to your target line. Don't pick the club up on the backswing, swing it back slowly and low to the ground. Great balance is very important for swinging well consistently - to improve your balance, hold your follow-through position until your ball has landed. The tempo of your drives should be the same as tempo of your pitch shots - swinging faster will not result in more distance. For better chipping, decide exactly where you want the ball to land - focus on that spot, visualize your ball landing there and running all the way to the hole. For a solid escape from a bad lie in a bunker, position the ball further back in your stance - this will ensure that the clubhead makes solid contact with the ball. Always putt from off the green if possible. Putts are generally more consistent than chip shots. Return from 'free online golf tips' to 'more great tips home'
