Best ever/still used golf tip ?

[sev112]

Amongst all the tips you read and get given, 2 stick out for me that i still use, especially when i start hittin git badly. What do you always revert to when it starts going wrong? (alcohol ...?)

1) After gripping the club with your left hand, drop your right shoulder before gripping with your right hand. This keeps your shoulders square to the target line. If you don't, then your shoudlders will automatically be open, and you'll automatically be setting up for a slice. (peter Thomson i think).

2) Halfway back and halfway through (i.e. 3 o clock and 9 o'clock), your arms should be a mirror image. (Faldo)

Both are good go-to reminders for my swing.

Relax and dont grip too tight.

The one that steadies me when I'm on a nightmare is..Finish the back swing. Always complete the back swing before starting down. It stops me snatching at the ball from the top.

Say 'pause' at the top of the backswing

Make sure the ball's nearer the hole after completing the shot.

Make sure the ball's nearer the hole than the club after completing the shot.

Let me fix that for you birthday boy

Always hit your provisional ball first

Say 'pause' at the top of the backswing

Say "Bollocks" at the end of your follow through

Turn up wearing black, big bother boots and shades.

Say to yourself in a soft but manly way "There is no ball."
