You Can Improve Your Golf GameIt's Time To Get Your Short Game Together!!!Your short game should be all about accuracy and consistency. Today we'll show you a simple method to not only make your short game much more accurate but also much more consistent.At Simple Golf we have been vigorous about making the golf swing easier by simplifying the swing movements. This short game simplification meets with almost universal success and acclaim. Although this is a technique we use with our simplified "Symple Power Swing", it will work with whatever swing method that you use. Try this an I think you'll be amazed with the results. Here's all you have to do. When playing shot game shots “KEEP YOUR FEET TOGETHER”. This includes most shots inside 100 yards (maybe a bit farther depending on your strength and skill). Keep most of your weight on your front leg. That will keep your lower body stable giving your swing a firm base. The only shots you shouldn't keep your feet together are the shots where you need higher lofted shots (sand and lob shots) or a wider stance for balance (hilly stances). (Note: This technique will work on many sand shots where you don't need to get the ball up too high but it does take a bit of practice.) About now you may be asking why be asking why should you keep your feet together. The answer is simple, keeping your feet together reduces variables in your swing. That means fewer things can go wrong. With fewer things to go wrong you will increase your consistency and your accuracy. Yes, there is a penalty. You will lose 20% to 25% in maximum distance (your loss might vary slightly) but that will be more than offset by your improved accuracy and consistency. In addition you will significantly improve your distance control helping you get close to the pin everytime. Keeping your feet together eliminates any weight shift. It also dramatically reduces extraneous lower body movement. This means the bottom of your swing arc remains constant insuring solid contact. You will be much less likely to top or fat any shots. Also important is that your backswing will be shortened which in this case is a very good thing. Your shorter backswing means your shots for each club will be slightly shorter. Although your shots for each club will be slightly shorter, they will be far more accurate and more consistent. Figure that when hitting shots with your feet together you'll need one (maybe two clubs extra). Take one range session to practice this technique and learn your “feet together” distances for each club and you'll be ready for the course. Here's an example how I use the technique. At 100 yards I used to hit my sand wedge. Now, I put my feet together and use my 125 yard pitching wedge. My shots are now more accurate and more consistent than ever. The short game is all about accuracy. It is not about distance. Hitting a club a few extra yards is not important. Being more accurate is far more important and it pays big dividends. For higher handicappers the results you'll see will be immediate. Your consistency will improve immediately. Your accuracy will improve dramatically. Low handicappers are amazed that this technique improves their accuracy so much. They've already got a good short game (or they wouldn't be a low handicapper) but with this technique they become pinpoint accurate. Simplify your short game by getting your feet together and I'm sure you will see an immediate improvement in your short game accuracy and consistency.
