Playing golf and you hear thunder. What to do if you hear thunder or see lightning and you are playing a round of golf on the green.
If you are teeing off, putting, in the sand trap or in any way playing golf and you hear thunder or see lightning, immediately stop what you are doing and head indoors. Do not finish the hole or continue playing at all. If your buddy wants to do these things, then leave him to his fate.
Remember golf courses are fairly flat and you are often the tallest thing around for many yards. The metal of the golf clubs will attract the lightning and you could get struck. Don't try to take shelter under a tree and don't wait until the lightning gets closer to stop playing.
At the first sign of lightning, stop play immediately and take shelter indoors!!
While your in the clubhouse pop in a golf instructional video in your portable player. You'll be that much better for the next clear day and the next round of golf.

Golf Putting Tip #1. Start practicing with short putts then increase your distance. this is the best way to practice your putting. Start with little tap in putts and then increase the distance of your putts until you are sinking six and 9 foot putts with ease. But always remember go from short putts to long putts in your golf practice.
Golf Putting Tip #2. Practice putting your ball over a 50 cent piece. On this exercise Lay the fifty centy piece coin on the ground. You will notice that it is still a good sized target, however the fifty cent piece is smaller than the cup on the putting green. Start with short tap in putts of six inches or less and practice putting the golf ball over the center of the coin. Slowly increase the distance of your putts back till you are putting from ten to 12 feet.
If you can roll the golf ball over the center of the fifty cent piece from a distance of lets say 6 feet then you can definitely hit an actual putt from the same distance since the coin is a smaller target than the actual golf cup.
You can do the same practice drill with a quarter and a dime if you like . But start out with the fifty cent piece.
Beginner Golf Putting Tip #3.
After you have mastered hitting your putt over a coin. Start putting the coin directly at the lip the cup. Practice putting to the coin and you will notice that the ball goes over the coin and into the cup. Next remove the coin and visualize it in front of the hole when putting.
