Warm Up
People underestimate this most of the time and say I always start slowly

I spend 30 minutes warming up and stretching before each tournament round. This consists of 10 minutes on an exercise bike, followed by 20 minutes stretching, then onto the range with a 1 hour warm up where I hit balls for 30 minutes, starting with a lob wedge and working my way through to the driver. After that I move onto chipping and putting for 30 minutes. This procedure is done both before and after every competitive round.

I would say that this is a little excessive for club golfers but what I would advise is getting to the golf club 30 minutes before the round and hitting shots for half an hour. A lot of amateurs say to me that they do not begin to play well until later on in the round so this would almost certainly help them.

Driving / The Swing
Driving is one of the stronger parts of my game, I think its because I grew up on a very short course where my main focus was driving greens and as a green is a lot smaller than a fairway it makes your misses a lot straighter!

To pass this thought on as a useful tip, when your playing your next round pick a very small target in the distance in line with where u want to hit the ball, and swing with 85 percent power towards that target. Because playing without aiming is aimless playing!!

Bunker Play
One of the simplest and best things you can do in a bunker is to hold the club really lightly, about 1 on the pressure scale if 5 is the hardest. Imagine that the ball is the yoke of a fried egg. Make contact with the white of the egg, without hitting the yoke and you'll watch the ball pop out of the sand every time.

For the slightly more advanced golfer, when your next on the practice ground, play a number of short straight forward bunker shots with a 5 iron. You will have to get very low and wide at address and open the face alot. After playing about for about 20 minutes, go back try playing the same shot with your lob wedge and see how easy it is, unbelievable!!

Putting
Putting for me is all about practice and doing drills. The reason most amateurs don’t putt that well is because they spend very little time practicing it, they would rather spend more time beating balls on the driving range! But let me tell you there's no better feeling than standing on the greens thinking you could make it from everywhere.

There are a few drills that I do to get that feeling. The first is called the clock, which is positioning balls at four points around the hole 3,6,9, and 12 o'clock, at 1 putter length and putting from here without missing to your target. Start at 10 and work upwards. This drill is great for getting you used to holing putts.

The second is positioning 3 balls in a line away from the hole at 1 putter length intervals. From here putt one ball from each point without missing. Then move onto 2 and so on. If you get up to 5 from each point without missing your doing very well!!

With these two drills and a soft grip it well help you make putts from all over!!
