Just because you are stuck at home for some reason and cannot make it to the golf course or the driving range, that does not mean that you have to leave your golf game behind. I’ve spent many afternoons and evenings practicing my putt shots right on my living room carpet, a simple home golf lesson made cheap.

Putting the ball on your carpet as a home golf lesson is a time-honored tradition. In fact, every day there are thousands of executives who bring their home golf lessons with them to the office, secretly putting the ball on their office carpet while discussing import business matters over the speaker phone.

Home golf lessons that include putting should be done on the right type of carpet, one that is short and firm enough to allow the golf ball to travel at the appropriate speed. A sturdy, industrial-type office carpet works just fine, as do Astroturf-type rugs.

You can further specialize in the quality of your home golf lessons by visiting a golf retail shop and purchasing an electric putting cup. These nifty little devices will actually shoot your ball right back to you once you have putt it into the slot.

I’d like to wish everyone who is reading this blog a very

When a golfer makes a bad shot, you never really hear the excuse “I didn’t use enough foot during that swing”. Although this would seem like a lame excuse, there is actually a lot of validity to the possibility.

In fact, although surprising, a neglected right foot could be a major cause of interference with the trajectory of a golf shot.

When you are hitting a normal shot your toe of the right foot (right handed golfers) should either be square to the line of flight or turned out to the right a bit. This helps the clubhead come away from the ball low, make a decent turn, and then start down properly.

However, if you need to hit the ball slightly longer than normal or a little higher, the toe of your right foot should be pointing farther to the right. This helps you make a bigger and more powerful turn away from the ball, while still keeping your balance and rhythm smooth.

It also keeps your hips behind the ball during impact and helps bring the clubhead into the ball with a clean sweeping motion, thus causing the ball to have greater distance and speed.

And of course, if you must hit a low shot, then try turning your right foot slightly to the left. This restricts the backswing and sets up more of a punching action on the downswing, creating a low shot.

There are two ways to outfit a youngster who is just starting to play golf. You can either pass down the Parent’s clubs as is, cut them down to fit, or buy junior sized clubs. Either method can work just fine, depending upon how old the child is and his or her size.

Two important points must be kept in mind: First, a child should start with clubs that he can manage easily. Otherwise, he will have trouble learning a basic, rhythmic golf swing. Second, he should start using adult clubs, which are cut down, as soon as he can handle them.

If the child is 10 years or younger, he should definitely be using junior clubs. They are very light, short, and balance to fit a young child this age. These clubs should be the ones he learns the fundamentals of golf with.

As soon as he shows some proficiency with these clubs, the child should start swinging adult clubs that are cut down to fit his height. This will probably happen around age 12. Once he has mastered the cut-down clubs and grows a little bit taller, adult clubs will be the next investment.
