Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 01/04/2026
» Ball marks, shoe damage such as spike marks and scrapes or indentations caused by equipment or a flagstick are regarded as damage to the putting green and therefore may be repaired. Also included would be old hole plugs, turf plugs, seams of cut turf and scrapes or indentations from maintenance tools or vehicles, animal tracks or hoof indentations, and embedded objects such as a stone, acorn, hail or tee and indentations caused by them.
Master your putting and transform your game in '25
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 08/01/2025
» Let's start the New Year off with something very basic 'Putting' -- as whether we like it or not for the average golfer, half of golf is putting. Top players earning their living on Tour only use up around 26, 27 or 28 putts per round. This basically relates to two putts every other hole and just one putt for the hole in between.
Master your left-hand placement
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 30/10/2024
» When you place your left hand on the club you should have the feeling that your thumb is more or less on the top of the shaft. Whilst looking down you should see two knuckles on the back of your hand, the crease formed between the first knuckle on the index finger and the thumb, should be pointing to your right ear.

» A good drill for developing the feel for distance is to putt a ball 30 feet. Then putt the next one 29 feet. Then 28 feet, and so on. An average golfer misses short putts because of fear or a lack of concentration. Instead of just stroking the putt into the hole, he or she is thinking about any number of things -- including other players who are watching for the result. Don't guide short putts into the hole, the right way is to approach a short putt from behind and line it up. If you decide it breaks two inches left of the cup, then that's where you want to strike it -- not jerk it into the hole.
Keeping your head down for too long will hinder swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 14/02/2024
» A golfing myth is that we must keep our heads down -- in fact, keeping it down too long will hinder your swing. Keeping your head down too long prevents a good follow-through because a golfer can't swing past hip-high with the head down and not give up something good in the finish to do it.

Use feet to generate more power
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 12/07/2023
» I believe that over the past 28 years of writing golf tips I’ve not touched on what ankles and feet do in the golf swing. However, analytics show that more power can be generated if your feet move correctly during your swing.
