You can improve your golf game without even leaving the house...

Hey golfers – why not improve your game BEFORE you hit the green...  

Joel Zuckerman, author of “A Hacker’s Humiliations,” has some really effective tricks to try right at home:

• Improve your grip. Attach a form-fitting or training grip to any golf club. Hold the club for 5 to 10 minutes a day, four to five times a week. That comfortable grip will be easy to replicate when you’re on the course.

• Strengthen your hand muscles. Squeeze a dishrag into a tight ball. Let go and repeat a dozen times with each hand. Do that 3 or 4 times a week. It strengthens your wrists and dozens of tiny muscles in your hands and fingers.

• Daydream about golf. It’s been scientifically proven to improve your game. Mentally choosing your club, practicing your swing, picturing sights and sounds and the contour of the green can do wonders. Play several mental holes every day.
