I am a middle handicapper and I have a question. I recently heard a term that I had not heard before. I friend of mine was excited because he was going to be put on a launch monitor and would be "gapping his irons." What is he going to be doing?
The term "gapping your irons" is another way to say find the yardages on how far you hit each club in your bag. You can do this by using a golf ball launch monitor or the old fashioned way, by walking them off.

How To Hit Better Iron Shots
I have a hard time hitting my irons. I would like to hit better iron shots that consistently go the same distance. When I do not hit my irons well, I tend to hit them low and they fly farther than usual. What is going on so I can hit more greens?
When this happens you are tensing the muscles in your shoulders, elbows and wrists shortening the original lever (your arm). In turn, you make contact more of the center of the golf ball and more towards the bottom of the iron. Put a tee in the ground and make some practice swings attempting to hit the tee towards your target. If you do not hit the tee, you still have to much tension. Make swings until you can consistently make contact with the tee and then lower it until you can do this with the tee flush to the ground.

Golf Swing Launch Monitors
With all of the new golf technology, is there an affordable golf swing launch monitor that I can use while I practice?
The Zelocity PureContact is a patented technology golf ball flight monitor (made in the USA) that uses a integrated Doppler-radar transceiver to gather the data. The unit works with right-handed and left-handed golfers with no adjustments needed to change sides. You can use any club with the unit while indoors or outdoors. The individual shot data (ball velocity, carry or total distance) is displayed through the onboard unit display for golf shots carrying 30 yards up to 420 yards. The session average ball velocity and average distance can also be displayed on the unit. In addition, the results can be dispalyed in yards or meters. The Zelocity PureContact has a 100 shot memory that will clear each time the unit is powered off.

Have The Proper Putting Grip
I have a problem with starting putts to the left of my target line from all distances. It has been very frustrating as my buddies willnot even give me any putts as I can do this from literally anywhere. I have spent time and am positive that I am aligned properly which just brings more frustration. What is going on?
It is time to check your to make sure that you have the proper putting grip. With the info you have given me, your putter shaft is not upright enough because of the grip you are taking. Make sure the life line of your left hand as well as your right hand are on both sides of the putter. This should put both thumbs on top of the putter grip and make the putter shaft more upright than you previously had it. This will help insure the putter face is square as well.
Another thing I would check is to make sure that your putter grip is placed square on the putter. Sometimes, during installation, a putter grip can be installed opened or closed. You would assume that it is on the putter square but, I would double check.
Post again and let us know how it goes!!!

Hand Position At Impact
I have heard that your grip should be ahead of the ball at impact. Why should this happen and is this true?
Good question. You hands should be ahead of the golf ball as you go through the impact position properly use the design of the golf club. Most players get in trouble because they are not pulling the club through impact. Most players start to push the club and allow the clubhead to go past the grip just prior to impact. This is known as "casting" the golf club. To get your good impact postion, you can use your golf bag or even the golf cart you are riding in! Place your clubhead on the cart tire. Slowly take your backswing and transition through to the impact position. As the clubhead meets the tire, relax your shoulders and feel your self pulling the golf club into the tire. Not Pushing. You will be able to feel the difference. This is the feeling that you want through impact. The good news is that you can do this in-between shots on the golf course if needed.

Chipping Help!
Recently I have had trouble with my chipping. I hit most of my chip shots low and the ball will go over the green. It is so bad that I can feel that I am hitting the ball on the bottom of the club face. What can I do?
To improve your chip shot, make sure that you are keeping you shoulders, forearms and the back of your neck relaxed throughout the entire stroke. In addition, make sure you are swinging down at the ball. Set up with 70% (adjust as needed) of your weight on your left foot for a right-handed golfer and place your hands equal to your left hip. By now taking your putting stroke from this position, this will make the shaft come into the ball on a steeper path. Read the article Boot Camp For Chip Shots to make your Short Game better!
