Here are a number of very valuable tips that Chris (PGA Professional from Scotland) gave me during my golf lesson this morning. They worked so well that I will write them down now while they are fresh in my mind before I forget.

When addressing the ball:

• Ball a bit more forward
• Stance slightly open
• Posture straight up (not slouched over)
• Club face perpendicular and flat to the ground (not with heel)

When hitting the ball:

• On back swing drag club as low as possible
• Slide down through the ball from high and slightly outside
• Snap wrists at last possible moment before ball impact
• (Do not hit down on the ball but through it)
• After impact continue swing inside and upwards
• Complete with a high finish
