Mastering Golf: Avoiding Common Green Mistakes

Today on Golf Monthly, we delve into the seven classic blunders that plague golfers around the greens. Picture this: you're on an up slope, and what do you do? You grab your trusty 60-degree club, but wait - that's a mistake! Swap it for a 52-degree to avoid that sky-high shot that goes nowhere. And on the down slope, don't make the error of not adjusting your club loft. Grab that 60-degree for more lift and watch that ball soar out of the bunker like a pro.
But ah, the wrong club choice strikes again! Don't be that golfer who sticks to their favorite club no matter what. Visualize the shot, feel the wind, and pick the right club for the job. And when you find yourself in a bunker, leaning back won't save you. Keep that weight forward, rotate around, and watch that ball sail out smoothly. And let's not forget the fear of water hazards - keep your chest moving, focus on where you want to finish, and watch that ball land safely on the green.
Lastly, gripping the club too tightly is a common mistake that can ruin your shot. Loosen up, let the club do the work, and see that ball spin and stop where you want it to. So there you have it, the seven deadly sins of golfing around the greens. Avoid these blunders, make the right adjustments, and watch your scores improve drastically.
