Golf Tips - Make Your Golf More Instinctive

Golf is a very static game - the ball is not moving and we are often very still before we start our swing - including putts.

The human body does many things exceptionally well when it does them instinctively - so can we make golf instinctive? Of course golf is never going to be an instinctive game like tennis because we are not reacting to a moving ball. That is actually one of the things that makes golf so difficult. But if we can bring some of the human instinctive elements into our golf swing, this should help us 'flow' into shots which will help us perform far better - especially under pressure.

How can we make our golf more 'instinctive' and a little less static?

If you work on this fun golf drill you will start to feel yourself 'flowing' into shots more.

You'll need three golf balls and an assistant to help you work on this...

1. Place a tee peg into the putting green to use as a target.

2. Ask your assistant to roll a golf ball at you from around 8 feet (3 meters) away.

3. Hit the ball with your putter while it is still moving. Do not worry about the target at the moment - simply get the feel for hitting a moving ball.

4. Really focus on what you are feeling when you are hitting the moving ball. It should feel free and flowing.

5. As soon as you have hit the ball, the assistant needs to roll the next ball at you.

6. Hit about 4 or 5 putts like this with the ball moving.

7. With the next rolling ball, stop it and then make a normal putting stroke trying to hit the target.

8. Repeat with the next two balls.

You should notice a totally different feeling between hitting the moving ball and hitting a stationery ball. However having hit some moving balls and then hitting a static ball your putting stroke should feel as if it is 'flowing' more than usual.

Many amateur golfers are too static over the ball which gives them too much time to think - often about the wrong things! This drill can really help make golf feel more dynamic... If you can get this 'flowing' feeling in your putting stroke and indeed all of your golf shots, you will perform much more effectively on the golf course.
