10 GOLF SECRETS THAT CHANGED MY SWING ⛳️

1. Strike beats speed — centre contact creates effortless distance.
2. Low point is everything — control where the club hits the ground.
3. Your grip controls more than you think — small changes can completely alter the clubface.
4. Stop trying to keep your head down — allow your body to rotate through the shot.
5. Pressure shift matters — get pressure moving towards the lead side before impact.
6. Tempo over effort — swinging harder doesn’t always mean swinging faster.
7. Clubface matters more than path — face control is essential for controlling start direction.
8. Your setup predicts your swing — posture, alignment and ball position can fix problems before you move.
9. Train your misses — understand why your bad shot happens instead of constantly chasing the perfect swing.
10. Simple feels work best — one clear swing thought beats five technical ones.

Save this and test them in your next practice session.

5 PUTTING SECRETS THAT WILL TRANSFORM YOUR PUTTING ⛳️

1. Stop trying to keep the putter face square
Allow the putter to naturally rotate with the movement of your stroke.

2. Your eyes influence your aim
Poor eye position can change how you perceive the target and make a correct aim look wrong.

3. Control distance with stroke length
Let the length of your stroke change with the distance rather than forcing speed with your hands.

4. Your best setup is repeatable, not perfect
Find a posture, ball position and alignment that allows you to return the putter consistently.

5. Practice your misses
Learn whether your tendency is left, right, short or long. Understanding your patterns makes practice far more effective.

PUTTER LIE ANGLE CAN CHANGE HOW THE FACE ROTATES 👀⛳️

10 PUTTING HABITS AS A PRO I WISH I HAD AS AN 18 HANDICAP ⛳️

1️⃣ AIM THE PUTTER FACE FIRST – Get the face set to your intended start line before worrying about your body.

2️⃣ USE THE LINE ON THE BALL WITH PURPOSE – If you use one, make sure it’s actually aimed where you want the ball to start.

3️⃣ BUILD A SOLID SETUP – Good posture, balance and connection make it much easier to repeat your stroke.

4️⃣ LET YOUR EYES FINISH READING THE PUTT BEFORE YOU HIT – Take one final look and trust the picture you’ve created.

5️⃣ PRACTICE WITH CONSEQUENCES – Give yourself targets and challenges instead of mindlessly hitting putts.

6️⃣ LEARN YOUR NATURAL STROKE – Stop trying to make your putting stroke look perfect and build around your tendencies.

7️⃣ CONTROL YOUR TEMPO – Keep the rhythm of your stroke consistent and adjust distance through stroke length.

8️⃣ START EVERY PRACTICE WITH FEEDBACK – Use gates, tees or a chalk line so you know whether you’re actually improving.

9️⃣ LEARN HOW SLOPE CHANGES SPEED – Uphill, downhill and sidehill putts all require different pace.

🔟 FINISH EVERY SESSION WITH SHORT PUTTS – Build confidence by seeing the ball go in before you leave the green.

5 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR TEMPO! ⛳️

1️⃣ USE THE SAME PRE-SHOT TRIGGER
A consistent trigger before every stroke helps you start with the same rhythm.

2️⃣ COUNT “1–2”
“1” to the end of the backstroke, “2” through impact. Keep the count consistent.

3️⃣ REMOVE THE HIT
Don’t accelerate suddenly at impact. Let the putter flow naturally through the ball.

4️⃣ PRACTISE WITH YOUR EYES CLOSED
This shifts your focus away from mechanics and towards the feel and rhythm of the stroke.

5️⃣ RANDOMISE YOUR PRACTICE
Hit a 6ft, 20ft, then 40ft putt. Learning to maintain rhythm while changing stroke size develops adaptable speed control.

Live Lesson Clip - BACKSTROKE WORK WITH PROFESSIONAL GOLFER SAANVI ⛳️

In this lesson, we worked on creating a cleaner and more consistent backstroke through better movement which improves the way the putter moves away from the ball and setting up a better transition into impact.

Small changes to the way the body functions can make a huge difference to face control, strike and start line. 🎯
