NOVEMBER and DECEMBER Colandro Golf Tip

by Mike Colandro - Writer for CTGolfTips.com Titleist Golf Professional, Worldwide Champion Golf Pro

This is the end of the year and the end of another golf season, up here in the Northeast, however if you want to keep swinging you can. First one needs to dress warm & in layers, long underwear is good to start with a good sweater & waterproof windbreaker is a must. Next get into a good stretching routine, do stretches that you can execute before and after each golf session. Now you need a place to swing and there are still many courses open, especially down state if there are no major snowstorms. Finally, there are quite a few golf ranges that stay open year round; a couple centrally located ranges are Golf Quest of Southington and Torzas Golf Center in Cromwell. Both ranges have covered & heated areas to hit from and Torzas has a great restaurant " Billy Tees" with several TVs to watch your favorite football game .My best advice to the golfer who wants to play better next year, is to keep swinging through the winter and keep stretching those golf muscles, so when you start back in the spring you will be ready.

CT GOLF TIPS OCTOBER TIP

by Mike Colandro - World Class Champion Golf Professional

This months Tip is to get out and play golf during the fall months and enjoy the crisp, cool weather on the course. Try to get out and just play golf without worrying about how you hit the ball, attempt to work on your creative scoring ability, such as: trying different shots when around the green, using a hybrid club off the tee, trying a new putting grip or putter on the green, along with keeping your expectations minimal. The fall is the end of the golf season here in the Northeast, so go out and experiment some new techniques, you will be surprised how something new may just work for you. The fall also is a good time to check out deals on greens fees at various golf courses, go online or just make some phone calls and you will find some great values at some of the better high
end public courses in the area  

CT GOLF TIPS SEPTEMBER TIP
by Mike Colandro - World Class Champion Golf Professional

The golf season is winding down, however fall is a great time to get out and play, due to the cooler weather and great golf course conditions TEE it UP, before the snow flies. It is also a good time to practice more effectively by using creative practice drills. My Tip this month is to explain to you a few easy to apply drills that can make your practice session more useful. One drill is to hit one club a variety of distances, this will teach you how to feel your swing better, another drill is the 3 club drill hitting 3 clubs the same distance also teaching you to feel your swing with each shot. A good drill for driving off the tee is to tee up three balls in a row then at the first one swing 50%, next 75%, then the last one 100%, you will see just how good you can drive a ball with less effort. These drills can only make your practice sessions more creative therefore you will practice more effectively.

AUGUST TIP
by Mike Colandro - World Class Champion Golf Professional

My golf tip this month is about the art of scoring on the golf course and how to shoot lower scores even when hit the ball poorly. One must work 75% on shots that are inside 100 yards every time you practice, which means full wedge shots, half wedge shots, hitting low shots with long clubs, pitch & lob shots, sand play, chipping and most important putting .

For the short pitches & chip shots keep 80% of your weight on your front foot, then lean the grip ahead of the ball, then keep that angle through impact, play the ball toward your back foot and strike each shot with a downward blow. Putting is quite a personal feel, however a good tip is to allow the back of the left hand to pass your left thigh through impact, this will keep your putter low to the ground for increased solid contact and a truer roll. Take a short game lesson or a playing lesson to see if you are executing well on the course.
