On our last #OTCQuestionMonday blog this week we will be showing a video tutorial on how to hit the ball when it is above your feet. I am glad that someone asked for this tutorial because I have problems with this too. Living in Florida, we do not get to work on this part of game to much because you have more flat lies than you do with lies above your feet. So when I come to a shot on the course when the ball is above my feet, I get worried. Lets check out this video tutorial and see how to hit the ball on an incline.
The video tutorial is from Sports and Outdoors. I really enjoy this video because he goes step by step on how to make great contact with the ball when it is above your feet. First you need to grip a little lower on the club, this is very important because if you do not grip a little lower on the club you might hit the shot fat (to much of the ground and not enough of the ball). I also enjoy how he reminds you to aim right of the green because the ball will go left (for righties). After taking watching this great tutorial I have some great tips to practice now.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and it helps you out with your game. Let us know what you think about the blog in the comment section below. Make sure to check out the rest of our site for further golf tips and information.
For our second tutorial from our #OTCQuestionsMondays, someone asked if we could post a tutorial on to hit out of a greenside bunker. This is a great question. We have all been stuck on the beach sometimes and it is tough to get out. This is another part of the game that requires a lot of practice. For me it is one of the hardest shots to hit. Here is a great video for beginners that can give them a way to practice.
In this tutorial video from Sean Casey he gives you a great tip on how to practice hitting it out of the sand. Draw a line and open up the club face up and hit the line with your club. Do this with out hitting the ball a couple times to get use to hitting behind the ball. It is tough to get use to hitting behind the ball instead of hitting the ball. One thing I would recommend is to not over think it. Relax. Do not let the mental part of the shot get in the way of executing the shot.

Hey guys just wanted to say thanks for the comments on our first ever On The Course Question Mondays. We had a lot of great ideas for our first #OTC Question Monday winner. We decide the first ever winning idea will be....... PUTTING DRILLS!
Now I know when your just starting out playing the game of golf and your out on the range, all you really want to do is see how far you can hit the driver and your irons. Well at least that is what I wanted to do. People forget that practicing putting is very important. If you can consistently making putts 10 feet and longer you are going to lose a ton of strokes off your score. So here is a couple putting drill videos I found to help you practice.
The first video is from RotarySwing.com and I really like this drill because I think it helps you to become more aggressive as a putter. Hopefully this drill will help you get enough pace to get the ball in the hole because no one likes to leave putts short.
Now the second video is from RobinSymesGolf and is probably one of my favorite putting drills, especially if you have some time. Now he gives you four distances to hit from which are 1.5 meters (5 feet), 3 meters (10 feet), 4.5 meters (15 feet) and 6 meters (20 feet) and you got to make a ball at each stop. When your practice this drill it is important not to cheat. You are just cheating yourself. If you miss at a stop than you have to start from the beginning. It will help you in the long run.
I hope you enjoyed both of these putting drill videos and hope you put these drills to good use. Let us know what you think about the videos and our blog in the comment section. Be sure to check out the rest of our site for further golf tips and information.
