Then alternate hitting shots with your short irons and long irons. And when you do hit shots with your long irons, don't worry about the shot, but try to replicate the tempo that you have with your short irons. Doing this will help you immensely. And another thing you can do when swinging your long irons that will help is to imagine you are swinging a short iron when you are actually swinging a long club. This will fool your mind into believing that you can swing with good tempo and therefore you are more likely to. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Article by Nick Bayley - Author of the 21-Day, step-by-step "Draw" System.

"Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t ?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."
