The Most Controversial Golf Tip You Will Ever Read Part 2
Posted by Mark Allen
How To Avoid The "Thin Shot" - The "Thin Shot" is when you catch the bottom of the club on the middle of the ball. This causes the ball to generally run along the ground without any chance of flying over a hazard. To stop this shot you need to maintain your posture throughout the swing. To do this you need to feel that your bum sticks out throughout the swing, this will maintain your posture and ensure that your club gets to the bottom of the ball.
Controversial Golf Tip Part 2 - This gamesmanship tactic has been used many times at golf clubs throughout the world without golfers realising it! It involves putting negative thoughts in your opponents mind just before they pull the trigger. All you need to do is mention a hazard on the hole you are playing to your opponent, something like "I'd take one more club if I was you to get over the water", this seems like you are being helpful but actually you have highlighted the hazard which creates doubt in your opponents mind. I must stress again that this tip should only be used when playing with friends and not in an actual competition. This gamesmanship tip highlights a key mind skill for elite golf because just before hitting your shot it is key to focus solely on your target. This skill is not something that can be developed instantly but needs practice.
