We kick things off with a golf tip, shall we?

Chili Dip? Get on the stick!

"Drive for show, putt for dough." Most golfers are all too familiar with this axiom and yet very few golfers spend enough time to practice the short game. Let the driver in the bag for a while and spend some time around the green. It is really well spent. in fact, I recommend a 50/50 approach your workouts. the half of your time working on the full swing, and half chipping and putting. shredding Talk for a moment. in golf, the hands are the enemy. this is especially true with regard to the short game and chipping. in pressure situations, adrenaline, stress and tension often work their way into the arms and hands, which makes them completely unreliable.

in addition, these pernicious elements combine to activate the hands resulting in a reversal or assist the movement of the hands and wrists, and ultimately a disaster. In a stroke of actual chip, hands and wrists maintain their angle and did not return. Hands should be soft or even death, as Dave Pelzs describes in his book, "Short Game Bible". So how can we hand on the short game? How can we get out of the turning motion of the wrists and raking motion with forearms and shoulders? Answer: get on the stick! Just find a long stick three feet and tape to the handle of your club (see photo). Now, for right-handed players, position the club and stick on the left side of your body so that the stick is extended under the left arm and the left side of your body. As you continue to practice your chip shots, the stick must not touch the left side. If you're actually flipping your wrists, Bang stick against the left side, which is false. The shredding motion is similar to rake leaves. As we switch our shoulders, arms and hands, the handle is pulled through not returned. Just like raking leaves, the handle goes first, then the end of the rake.

To summarize, the following checkpoints:

1) Ribbon stick for golf club grip
2) Raynaud
3) stick should not hit your body as you chip

Good luck!
