Dublin Ohio Golf

Here’s a couple pictures of the space we will be using for our indoor golf instruction this winter. We’re still waiting for the nets to be installed, and look forward to completing that installation very soon.

The space will include areas specifically for member practice, and also a separate instructional area.

Here is Capt. Dan Rooney’s speech about his reasons for starting Patriot Golf Day in conjunction with the PGA of America. Inspired by my fellow professional Capt. Rooney, I will be conducting a weekend of golf instruction that will benefit the Folds of Honor and Wounded Warriors foundations. Please join me Sept 4 – 7 at Tartan Fields Golf Club to support this wonderful cause. Contact me at 614-792-0727 ext 280 to learn more about this great event.

Putting is the technique that every good golfer or at least an aspiring player of this sport looks to master in order to be a pro at the game. The whole idea of the game is to deliver the ball into the hole by using the minimum number of tees for this purpose. And putting is one of the most important aspects of golf.  

It is not only putting that one needs to be aware of while playing golf. There are a number of issues that a golfer needs to keep in mind while playing the game: 

• The direction and velocity of the wind can play an important role in the direction that the ball takes on being struck.

• The slope of a golf field, also known as the green, can vary depending on several factors. Players need to be familiar with all kinds of terrain and be able to adapt to them as they come.

Putting is a significant technique that players need to master. One needs to practice putting in order to be able to make those master moves. 

Putting is not as simple as some golfers make to out to be. Although it is the last step towards completing a game of golf successfully, it is not enough for the player to roam about the putting green over and over again to be able to master the trick. If you want to learn the tricks of trade, you need to commit yourself. This does not only include the mere action of putting. You should WANT to know the process involved and the science that makes it work. Unless you focus and practice putting repeatedly you will not be able to remember the correct way of doing it once you are in the middle of a game. 

A lot of aspects go into learning how to putt properly: 

• Use of the dominant eye to see the target 
• Focusing on the target 
• Setting up a square set up 
• Taking a good grip 
• Aiming a full swing with the shoulders keeping the wrist locked 
• Maintaining the steadiness of the strike            

However, most putting “drills” don’t bother too much with these details. Usually all people are worried about is getting the job done. No one pays attention on HOW to get it done.  

A lot of players depend on short-knocks only to get through a game successfully whereas many professionals who are efficient in long-knocks take the blow at the end when a good putting is required to end the game. Since fifty percent of the game consists of putting, one should practice putting as much as he or she practices other techniques. 

The best way to master putting techniques is to practice putting strokes without the ball. This will make you feel the movement of the putter as it goes back and through with every strike. In fact practicing without the ball will help you concentrate on your movements instead of worrying about the impact with the ball.
