Jack Moorehouse - ArticlesTaming A Hard CourseProfessional courses like Torrey Pines or are no picnic, even for the pros. For weekend players, forget it. PGA courses have narrow fairways (less than 30 yards wide), punishing rough, and lightening fast greens. They also have length. One mistake and you're putting a big number up. What's In Your Bag?The mechanics of your swing are important. That's why we encourage weekend players to take golf lessons and read golf tips. But what you carry in your bag is also important. You can cut strokes from your score even before you get to the course by tailoring what's in your bag factors like the weather, the course's firmness, and the types of shots you're most likely to face. Maintaining "Soft Focus" Cuts Golf HandicapsThe difference between good and great isn't always physical. Sometimes, it's mental. Take Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods. Both are gifted players physically. Both have great short games. And both have creativity and imagination. But Tiger, it seems, has a more disciplined approach to the game than Phil—or any other player on tour. That's why he plays so well and wins so often. Re-Thinking Strategy Off TeeA recent survey conducted by Golf Digest generated some surprising results. The magazine tested 20 average golfers with golf handicaps ranging from 3 to 20. The golfers used clubs equipped with modern technological advancements. All else being equal, the test showed that there was little difference in accuracy between using a driver and 3-wood off the tee. Strengthen Shoulders To Lower Golf HandicapYou don't need golf instruction sessions to learn to drive the ball long and straight. But you do need to make a good shoulder turn. It creates the torque needed to strike the ball solidly. Good ballstriking helps lower your scores and trim your golf handicap. U.S Open To Offer Some SurprisesTiger Woods is the odds on favorite to win this year's U.S. Open. Not just because he's one of the best golfers in the world, if not the best; but also because the course is built for his swing. He's won several times at Torrey Pines Municipal, which is hosting this year's Tournament, and the course suits his game to a tee, even with the changes they've made to the course. A Sure Fire Way To Hit BombsWhen you're watching the U.S Open this weekend, look at how Phil Mickelson, Tiger Woods, Fred Couples, and the rest swing the club. I've been watching them for years. They swing so effortlessly it's amazing. Yet they still bomb the ball 275 yards off the tee. Some average almost 300 yards. Go-To Shots Trim Scores And Golf HandicapsPGA pros depend on "Go To" shots to survive in tournaments. Go to shots are shots golfers hit well under pressure. They use them they're when they're in trouble, when they need a clutch shot, or when their games go awry. They're useful whether you're playing stroke or match play, or just trying to win a skin from someone. Some players call Go To shots "money shots." Play Bethpage Black Course FreeFew golfers get the chance to play a PGA Course for free. But now the USGA is giving players with any level golf handicap this rare opportunity using their computers. You can play Bethpage Black, the site of the 2009 U.S. Open Championship, for free until June 21 by going to the United Stages Golf Association's Web site (www.usgaopen.com) and clicking on the Virtual U.S. Open link. All you need is your browser. Eliminating Exit Faults, Part IIThis is the second of two articles on exit faults. Previously, we discussed the basics of exit strategy, including the master keys. Below, we elaborate on exit strategy and swing faults.
Exit strategy is among the Tour's hottest topics. Unlike golf lessons and golf tips, which usually focus on pre-impact mechanical errors, exit strategy discusses post-impact results.
