Should I Use An Interlocking Golf Grip?
I am wondering about my golf grip. I am a 19 handicap and I would like to know which golf grip I should use. I have played for a long time and have always used an interlocking golf grip. Is this grip ok to hold the golf club?
Many successful players have used the interlocking golf grip including Jack Nicklaus! First your grip must be comfortable to you. I am going to assume that is the case because you have used it for a long time. Read the article Clap For Your Golf Grip to learn more about how to hold a golf club.

Golf Club Fitting For Women
I am a female that recently started taking golf seriously. How do I find someone who will do a golf club fitting for women?
Most women that play golf could improve their scores and their handicap if they had a proper ladies golf club fitting and used a set of custom built golf clubs. Although this may sound expensive, it can cost what you what it to cost. As competitive as the golf market currently is, many golf shops will do a golf club fitting for women for free as long as you order the clubs from them. Once you have your proper measurements, you do not need the expensive top of the line clubs. you need clubs that fit YOU!
The article Clubfitting 101 will give you all the information that you need to find a qualified club fitter as well as the proper questions to ask a club fitter.

How Do I Get The Ball Closer On My First Putt?
I am learning the game and have just started to take golf lessons. I have not taken a putting lesson yet and I am having trouble getting my first putt close to the hole. Is there an easy way to get better at this?
First, we are very glad that you have Linked Up 2 Golf and have begun to play this great game. Second, do not hesitate to take a putting lesson. It will be money well spent, as more than half of your strokes will come from putting and the short game. Third, use the free golf instruction here as well as at Wireless Golf Coach.
Finally to fully answer your question, go to the practice putting green with three to five golf balls and your putter for an putting drill. At first, you will not need your putter but keep it close. Position yourself about twenty feet away from a hole and try to make the would be putt as flat as possible. What do i mean would be putt? We are first going to roll (not pitch) on the ground one ball towards the hole. Notice how far your arm moves. Your arm should not "wind up" behind you. To roll the ball the proper distance, your arm will move much shorter back than it will move on the way through. Note it is also important to hold your arm in its "finish position" until the golf ball stops rolling. Once comfortable with this simply pick up your putter and turn sideways to address you putt and "underhand the putter" just as you did to roll the ball to the hole.
You can also do this to the edge of the green if a hole is not available. You will see one of the tour players on a putting green looking like they are trying to underhand a ball to a hole. They are attempting to get the feel for the speed of the putt just as this putting drill allows you to do.

How Do I Stop Slicing?
How do I stop slicing the golf ball? I do it basically every single swing. I has gotten really frustrating. My friend who is a good player tells me that I have a reverse C on the end of my swing. Are there any training aids that would help me stop slicing the golf ball?
If you are in fact ending with a reverse C position, then you are not properly shifting your weight. There is a golf swing training aid that could help you with your full swing and it will also better your putting as well. The Shift Station By Izzo shows you how to properly transfer your weight on your backswing and where your weight needs to be on the forward swing and finish!

Solid Iron Shots
I am having trouble hitting solid iron shots. What can I do to correct this?
Well, even with not much information, this drill will help you hit solid iron shots. Take a chalk can and draw a line on the ground or place two golf tees about one foot apart. Make golf swings with the line as where your golf ball would sit. Monitor where you are beginning your divots. Your divots should be starting on the line. Once you are consistently beginning each divot on the line, you will be hitting solid iron shots and lowering your golf scores.

Do You Push Or Pull The Club Shaft?
My boss and I were talking golf the other day. We were discussing whether you should pull or push the club on the downswing. Which full swing theory is correct?
You definitely should PULL the golf club on the downswing. Here is the analogy: Take a little red wagon. Do you have more control if you push the handle in front of you or pull the handle behind you? Can you go faster if you push the handle in front of you or pull the handle behind you? Of course the answer is that you have more control and can go faster if you are pulling the wagon behind you. As you pull the golf club on the downswing, you will have greater control and will be able to create more speed in your full swing.

Reverse Weight Shift or Reverse Pivot
I am struggling with a reverse weight shift. How can I fix this problem? I have not only started hitting the ball everywhere but I have also lost distance.
First you must understand that the reverse weight shift, is also known as a reverse pivot. On the back-swing your weight is going towards the target and on the forward swing your weight is going away from the target. This makes it difficult to hit your golf shot with any power or control.
The Fix: Use one of your golf clubs as a full swing golf training aid. Place the club in the middle of your feet and take your grip and stance. As you take your backswing, make sure your weight goes behind the club on the ground. Now, swing the club through to your finish. In your finish, your body should now be on the target side of the club on the ground.

Find The Yardages For How Far You Hit Each Club In Your Bag
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.

Gio Valiante - Fearless Golf - Conquering The Mental Game
In watching the golf channel, I am interested in learning more about Gio Valiante teachings. Does he have a book out that is available for purchase?
Gio Valiante does have a book out called Fearless Golf - Conquering The Mental Game. Dr. Gio Valiante's book is in hardback. Gio Valante's background includes being a pioneering sports psychologist, studing the sources of an athlete's fear, investigating the physiological impact of fear on performance and developing a groundbreaking program for conquering it. In his book Fearless Golf, Valiante explains how fear plays havoc with physical motion and presents specific ways that you can break free of its grasp and shoot your lowest scores. Realizing the need to replace a fixation-on-results with a commitment to mastery of oneself and one's mind, your approach will not only help you reach your true potential, in addition, it will make playing every round fun again.

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!!!
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.

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!

Jim McLean - Eight Step Swing
I have been reading books from Jim McLean. What is your take on his eight step swing theory?
I like what Jim McLean has to say. One reason is that teaches you to go in to zones as opposed to VERY specific positions. Not all of us are built the same way thus, it gives everyone the freedom to use their swing and not a "canned" golf swing. As I have watched him many times on TV as well as listening to different presentations that he has given, he seems to make it easy to understand.

Junior Golf Guide For Parents
I have two kids that enjoy playing golf. My oldest is going to be a freshman in high school this year. Do you have any suggestions of junior golf guides that would help us if they keep getting more serious about the game?
I would highly recommend to contact your local PGA section office. They will likely have the schedule of junior golf events for the summer. You can find a contact number for the section you are located in at PGA.com. In addition, Jacqui Nicoletti has authored The Golf Guide For Parents And Players. This golf book for junior golfers will take you through Junior Golf all the way to the highest levels of professional golf.

Where Should My Shoulder Point?
I have a question about alignment. As silly as it sounds, how do I make sure that I am lined to my target correctly? I have heard that I need to aim my forward shoulder at the target and I hear that you need to line up like railroad tracks. Which is correct?
Great question! We find that many of our students do not understand this. On the range, line up a shot and place a club just outside of the golf ball that is pointing at your target. As you get into your setup and posture, place another club between you and the ball. this club should be parallel to the first club that you placed on the ground. This is what people refer to as the railroad tracks. This places you square to the target.
I have heard other instructors say that if you point your shoulder at the target and hit it perfect youwill only have a three foot putt. That might seem logical however without being square that you will have to make extra compensations during your swing.

Where Should My Shaft Enter My Putter?
I have been reading about different putting theories. I have decided to use the Dave Pelz method of moving the putter straight back and straight through. Should I use a center shafted putter, a rear shafted putter or does it matter?
Not to avoid answering your question but, I have done to many putter fittings to say one is better than the other. I suggest that you take many putters to the practice putting green. Narrow it down to a couple you really like. Now that you have it narrowed down to a couple, ask your pro to spend just a few minutes with you to get his or her opinion. Believe me, they will be happy to help you and sell a putter!

How Should I Hold The Club?
I have just started playing golf and am 12 years old. I am pretty small for my age. How should I hold the club? Should I use the ten finger grip until I get bigger?
Yes you can!!! There is nothing wrong with the ten finger grip which is also known as the base ball grip. There still are some "grip laws" that you need to follow with any grip that you use. Read the article Clap For Your Golf Grip to make sure that you are properly using the ten finger grip. It is GREAT that you are playing golf now. Make sure you are spending time on your short game and your putting and you will enjoy the game for a long time. Keep asking questions here and Wireless Golf Coach will help you however we can!!!

How Do I Improve My Distance Control With My Putting?
I have been playing golf for a long time and carry a 14 Handicap. I have not been able to get any lower than this the last couple of years. I am looking to improve my putting this season to lower my handicap. It seems that I am pretty good at starting the putt on line however I can not control the speed. Any suggestions?
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you are hitting each putt solidly. Read these articles and you should be well on your way to a lower handicap this year!
Use Three Tees To Better Your Putting
Look Mom!!! I am putting with one hand!!!
Set Up To Make More Putts
Three Putting Musts
In addition, roll balls under-handed to holes on the practice putting green and hold the finish of your arm. Notice the shape that your arm takes, short back and longer through. This will be the same shape that your putting stroke should take. Remember, hold your finish!
