Clubhead pace is the secret weapon today

» Your ball is in what the Rules call "temporary water." You may play your ball as it lies or take free relief. You take free relief by finding the nearest point of complete relief where you are clear of the puddle and then drop your original ball away from the puddle and within one club-length of that point, not nearer the hole. You may also take relief from a puddle of water if your ball is in a bunker.
Simple golf etiquette every player should always follow

» Replacing your divots is a must and probably the first etiquette rule that we learn. If the divot has disintegrated then try to find a container of soil/sand and simply fill in the divot.
Putting is game's ultimate test of both skill and nerve

» The four basics of putting are reading, aiming correctly, stroke mechanics and distance control, which sounds simple but in reality, getting all four of these essentials working at the same time is not so easy.
One swing for pitch shots
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 30/07/2025
» Are you having problems with pitch shots around the green, perhaps you're undecided to hit it high or low or make it stop quickly. Here's a way of making the shot selection and execution process simpler.
Find fairways more often by going against the grain

» When it comes to hitting it long off the tee, go with your normal shot shape. When driving the ball well, most of us play a slight draw, so no matter what the conditions, we'll always have this natural shape. Getting off the tee is the hardest part of the game for new golfers. I've seen many golfers fight their natural shot shape.
Why pressure and practice games matter
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 16/07/2025
» It's been proven that the brain can't learn unless you are challenging it with random tasks. Showing up to the range and hitting your driver for hours on end won't do much to improve your golf game. This is exactly why practice games are so effective. They simulate real pressure that you will feel on the course and encourage you to practise like you play.
Trigger is what every golfer needs for a perfect swing
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 09/07/2025
» It's not for the first time that I've mentioned how every golfer should have some sort of swing trigger to start off their swing. Many times, I've watched an average golfer take a few beautiful practice swings before approaching the ball, tensing up, then freezing for a few seconds before eventually executing a stiff looking swing that looks nothing like their practice swings.
This is the secret to stability

» There's a little test you can do to ensure that when you set up over the ball everything is in the right place. See if you can rock backwards and forwards when addressing the ball, if you can, then your weight is correctly distributed. If you can only move your toes, then too much weight is on your heels. The reverse is also true. If you can only lift your heels your weight is too far forward.
Fine-tune stance for laser shots

» Slightly adjusting the position of your right foot will change the width of your stance and therefore you'll be able to hit the ball at different points on the arc of your swing. In a perfect world this would mean hitting the ball on a slightly ascending strike with the driver and a slightly descending blow with the irons.
Shoulder tilt is the key to powerful swings
Sports, Brett Brasier, Published on 11/12/2024
» When at the top of our swings our shoulders should be tilted from the top, not level as l see sometimes. Most golfers want to hit the ball long, and tilting your shoulders as we turn them will help tremendously. Shift your hips towards your target on your downswing so that your tailbone finishes up closer to the target. But your head should not get closer to the target or go too far over the back foot.
