Lower your Handicap

The best way to lower your handicap is to look at your score card and see where you are losing the most shots. "How do I do that" you ask? Well the first thing is to start keep a record of a few things on your score card. First F.I.R. that means Fairways in regulation. Every shot you hit off the tee if you hit the fairway make a check. If you miss make a X. Now you can start to see how your driving stats look. Next is G.I.R. that is greens in regulation. How many greens do you hit a round. Last but not least is marking down how many putts you take on each hole. At the end of your round add up your stats to see how many of those shots would have helped you make par. I bet that most of the hole that you shot over par were because you missed putts. Putting is where you have the best chance on lowering your score. If you can sink more putts your handicap will drop. So the next time you go to the range work more on your putting if they have a green for you to do so. You'll help your game and save money because you can buy a Small bucket and usually putting on the green is free.

The Hottest swing on the PGA Tour

Right now the hottest swing on the PGA Tour is that of Anthony Kim.

You can watch his swing through a link on our web site on our video tips page. Just to prove how great this swing is Anthony is on the cover of both Golf Digest and Golf Magi zine for the month of December 2008. You can see a break down of his swing and read some of his insight on his swing in both of those issues. What Par breakers likes the most about Anthony's swing is that we have been teaching the same swing for years. Compact and core driven. You will see more players in the future with the same swing. It takes most of the mishits out of the shot and when you do miss it is only a few paces into the ruff. If you want to learn more about Anthony's swing or are interested in learning the top swing on tour stop by Par Breakers and let us show you how core swings will help you play the best golf of your life!

Golf The Proper Grip

How important is the grip to the golf swing?

First we have to look at it's purpose. The grip is our only connection to the golf club. So it is very important that we get it right. All of our feel for the shot is translated into our grip and without the proper grip tension we can not allow this feedback to happen. First and foremost we have to have the club in our fingers as shown in the (photo above left).

If you look at the right hand in the photo you see that the grip is just touching the part where the fingers meet the palm or main part of the hand. The club should never go below this part of the hand and into the palm. If it does it will restrict the rotation of the wrist and the role it plays in creating club head speed. As for grip tension a good way to find it is to squeeze the grip firmly then relax your grip. Once your grip is relaxed that should be just right in the feeling of how hard you should hold the club. Your forearms should be relaxed also to keep tension free. This is most important again in being able to generate club head speed. The last important factor is the trigger finger. The index finger of the right hand should be seprated from the middle finger. This will help keep your hands ahead of the club at impact. Therefore hitting the ball then taking a divot.
