Under Tips and Tricks
Everyone gets annoyed when they sliced the ball on their last shot. Well, I will tell you the main reason for why this slice occurs. Either you aren’t turning your body enough, or your not rounding your swing path as much. So I will share with you a major tip that will help you turn your body more, and help your swing path.
First, set up to the ball you are about to hit. Then, go ahead and hit it, but when you do, in the end of your swing, try to have your belly button facing the opposite way that you started. This will get your body rotating much more, and help you round your swing path a little bit more.

Under Putting
Putting is one of the most important parts in the game of golf. So you need to be able to hit a solid putt without topping it. So, I have developed a drill that can help you master hitting a solid putt that I will share with you.
First, put a dime on a putting green. Then, set up to it as if it were a ball you were going to putt. After that, try to softly putt the dime. You should aim for the coins edge obviously. You will notice that in order to have success, your putter head must move downward to the perfect spot as it gets really close to the dime. This will help you putt a whole lot better, and you will rarely to never top a putt again.

Under Fairway Shots
A very common problem people have in their swing is that they use to much of their arms, and then they don’t turn their hips as much. Usually this can cause you to hook or pull your ball, which will really effect your game. So you really need to turn your body to hit the ball straight.
Luckily, I do have a little drill you can use that can help you start turning your hips instead of using your arms. Go to the golf range, and set up to a ball. Then, take your club back just a little bit, about a sixth of your normal back swing, and try to hit it. You will realize that in order to hit it well, you must turn your hips, and you can’t just use your arms to hit it.
