Santa and the Elves at the Classic Swing Golf School know that lower scores are on every golfer's holiday wish list, so they put together the following list of tips and suggestions that are sure to help make your wishes come true!

 

Take A Shot

 

Based on the data gathered from the PGA Tour's Shot Link program as well as Golfmetrics by Mark Broadie, the following golf shots, in order of importance to overall score, have proven to be the quickest way to reduce your score:

A)The shot with the greatest influence in lowering your golf score is the second shot. Therefore, rededicate your practice time to the clubs you most often use after you hit your tee ball.

 

B) After that, the shot that correlates most to lower scores is your tee shot. With whatever club you use here, most often the driver, strive for distance or simply MOVE UP A TEE!

 

C) The third shot in importance to lowering scores is the approach shot. For most this reflects the quality of your wedge game and includes chipping, pitching, and sand play around the green. (A Classic Swing Short Game School can help with that!)

 

D) Finally, (and much to Santa Ted's surprise) is the putt. To excel in your putting, the Elves suggest you:
  • Become automatic on 4 footers (Spend much practice time here!)
  • From 15 feet and in, get all putts to the hole
  • From 20 to 40 footers, think about lag putting
     
Use the above list to influence your 2015 practice habits. Golf is unique to each individual and keeping stats is a way to recognize which part of your game is weak and which part is strong. A playing lesson with a Classic Swing Golf School Professional will help you set up a good practice schedule. (The Scoring School makes an excellent choice!)

Body Shots

 

Some of Ted's personal favorites over the years for ball striking consistency:

  • Steady head throughout the entire swing.
  • If the body is healthy, shift your weight forward, or to the lead side of the body, for impact.
  • Never forget, the answer is in the dirt! As long as the ball is resting on the ground and you need to get the ball into the air, drive the ball into the earth.

In the gym:

  • Keep the butt and the belly strong
  • Stretch the hips, back, and shoulders
  • Sign up for yoga, palates, and don't forget Zumba to keep those hips moving!

 

Take some advice from the wise Yogi Berra: "Relax, it's only a game!" For those who need some relaxation sugar in their stocking:

  • Keep your grip pressure constant throughout the swing. On a grip pressure scale from 1 (light) to 10 (tight), find your ideal number. Santa Ted likes 3 (and peanut butter cookies), but that is purely personal. The goal is, whatever your number, keep it constant.
  • Think cooked spaghetti noodle arms (Loosey Goosey) when swinging.
  • Remember to breathe! Use a gentle inhale in the  backswing and a gentle exhale in the downswing to the finish.

Head Shots

 

For those like Santa who need help focusing, here is what to do with your eyes during different types of shots:

  • Putting: Eyes should stare at back equator of the ball
  • Green side bunker shots: Eyes should focus 1 to 2 inches behind the ball
  • Full swing: Eyes should focus on back inside quadrant of the ball (Thank you, Homer Kelley)

Attitude is everything and mental conditioning cannot be overlooked, so Santa Ted leaves you with another profound Yogi-ism:

 

"A bad attitude is like a flat tire.  

If you don't change it, you'll never go anywhere."
