How to Hit Long Irons off of a Tight Lie

In order to make the best golf swings with irons off of a tight lie, you must believe you can hit them well, but sheer anxiety high handicappers experience when standing over a tight lie prevents them from hitting a solid shot. Either they don’t complete the backswing or they tense up and try to help the ball up in the air.

So think about swinging the club instead of hitting the ball. When you take a practice swing before you hit your shot, pick out a piece of dirt or blade of grass and try to clip it off the ground, as you swing all the way through to the finish and make a conscious effort to have the shaft of your club touch your shoulder. This will help you stay down and keep your spine angle throughout your swing.

If you raise your body up and down, you’ll mis-hit shots. So as you take your practice swings today, think of maintaining your spine angle throughout the swing.

Take the challenge with me.  Post a note  on my Facebook page letting me know that you are up for the challenge.

Feel free to post pictures of yourselves practicing.  I will post reminders and more tips this month to help you achieve your goal of 1000 practice swings this month.
