More Golf Tips From Robert "Lumpy" Lumpkin Putting is designed to be 50% of your score in golf. Meaning, on a par 72 course, if you hit all greens in regulation, you have (36) putts to make par. Since a golfer rarely hits all greens in regulation, we should strive to make 28-32 putts per round. The easiest way to make more putts is to focus on the speed and line. Speed is without a doubt, the most important thing in putting. A good drill is to putt to tees @ 3, 10, 15 & 20 feet. Focus only on the line and the speed required. You will be surprised at how many times you can hit something as small as a tee, thus making the hole seem very large. |

More Golf Tips From Robert "Lumpy" Lumpkin Weight transfer in a golf swing is often misunderstood. It is simply allowing 70-80% of your weight to move to the inside of the back foot on the backswing, and then allow the same weight to transfer to the outside of the front foot on the forward swing. To get this feeling, simply make a baseball swing at chest height. Notice that you automatically lean to the back foot and move to the front foot. Also notice, that your arms and hands naturally roll over. This roll over is what squares and then closes the club face, usually producing a draw. |

GOLF TIPS FROM Robert "Lumpy" Lumpkin Certified Professional Golf Instructor & Certified Professional Club Builder Listener’s Question—I keep hitting the ball fat. What are the main causes? Can you help me? Assuming that you are keeping your posture throughout the swing, there are only two main causes. If you decelerate at impact or you throw the right hand at impact you are likely to strike the ground before the ball. Deceleration usually occurs because a player has taken too big of a backswing for the shot at hand. Throwing the right hand usually occurs because a player tries to hit the ball too hard.

GOLF TIPS FROM Robert "Lumpy" Lumpkin Certified Professional Golf Instructor & Certified Professional Club Builder Listener’s Question—Is it true that the shaft is the engine of the swing? Yes. While there are a lot of components that go into how well you can swing a club, the flex of the shaft is at the top of the list, along with the swing weight. If the shaft is too stiff, then too little kick occurs in the swing and if too soft, too much kick occurs. For a free swing analysis call U. K. Golf for an appointment @ 843-399-1152 |
