Hi allJust registered as a new member following 2, not so good, days of golf. I have only been playing for 4-years and can knock it round in an average manner, but the past 2 rounds i have been fat as you like so what am i doing wrong? can anybody help before i spend money with the local pro?Just hopingGeoff

Helo geoff,

Welcome to GTO mate i hope you enjoy it here as i do. Im sure there i people on here that can advise you on tips ect but i have lession from the pro myself and i saw a improvment in my game.

Hello Geoff and welcome.

I'd say ... be nice to your pro. Nobody loves us ... and we need people to like us and give us money. We are nice guys, just trying to make a living from other peoples trouble.

Geez - so you are hitting it fat? Can't you pick something a little easier ? Fat shots are very difficult to diagnose without seeing a video becuase there are lots of causes. Without seeing your swing to tell you EXACTLY why you're fatting it, check these points:

1. Are you losing height on your swing?
2. Are you not coming down too steeply into impact?
3. Isn't the ball just a tad too far forward in your stance?
4. Make sure your hands are ahead of the club at impact.

Sorry I can't give you specific advice - you could be doing these and other things that'll cause you to fat it.

Hey pro,

I must say after i started taking a lession a week from a PRO my game is coming along nice and i can see the improvments already. If i was doing something wrong he would put me right and after every lession i work on what i learnt from the last. So im my view i have nothing but good words for the pro's. Not only use the lessions help my game but i enjoy them also.

welcome geoff,
you are in the right place to get your game sorted!
