So, I scour the internet looking for tricks and tips to share with you the reader in the hopes that it helps your game. Well, fortunately I found another video by Rick Shiels that I am confident it will help your game.

Is Your Lower Body Stable During Short Chips?

One of the reoccurring challenges I find during my research is how amateurs do not maintain a stable platform when chipping. We have a tendency to ‘help’ our club through contact by moving our lower body more than needed. This particular swing fault is almost counterintuitive because most of us feel that keeping the same motion while chipping and striking the ball makes sense. Well, this is not the case and creating a more stable lower body on short chips promotes a consistent, repeatable golf swing that helps lower our golf scores.

Know What We Know In Golf

Many people think that Confucius is only talking about life. Well, I would suggest that it definitely applies to golf as well.

Knowing our golf game and accepting our limitations is a great first step to playing great golf. Even McIlroy states that professionals will avoid low percentage shots. To me, that just makes sense. After playing thousands of rounds of golf, I realize that I am still learning about my game. It has taken some time, but I also accept that certain aspects of my game (although it is uncomfortable) need to change in order to play better golf. I choose to continue to learn about golf and hopefully that will transition into something better than it is today.

I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!

Shooting lower golf scores is always possible for any player who is willing to effectively analyze their game and is open to change. I am fortunate because I broke 80 a long time ago.

To achieve these milestones, I adopted three simple strategies that complimented my game and propelled my scores lower than I originally thought. Looking back, I adopted a way to lower my scores the easy way!

Image Shooting Your Lowest Golf Score Ever!

Is it possible to shoot your lowest score ever each time you hit the links? Well, of course not! However, the process of visualization or imaging each single shot will help you on the the path to consistently shooting great scores. I know this because I use visualization before, during and after each round of golf. I find the process of visualizing each shot a must do in order to play my best golf. I fully recommend using the mental technique of visualization to improve your golf game; it is a game changer.
