WHEN trying to play a delicate chip to the green out of lush grass, I tend to hit the ball too softly in fear of over-hitting the ball and end up stubbing the wedge into the ground, leaving the ball to travel just a yard or two forward. What is a good routine to ensure a positive contact? more

A FRIEND of mine is a dab hand at chipping, using a six iron. He runs the ball in low, almost like a putter. In using a low iron instead of a wedge is there anything particular to look out for? more
Ask Andy
I FEEL I have quite a good shoulder turn but still don't hit the ball far enough. I know I don't hinge my wrists properly in the back-swing but when I try to hinge them the ball usually slices. Do you have any thoughts? more
Ask Andy
IS IT important to have an obvious pause at the end of the back-swing and before starting the downswing? more

I AM a lady golfer and all my golfing life I have been overswinging so much that I almost hit my left heel at the top of my back-swing. more
Ask Andy
A FRIEND says the single most important thought for him is 'swing slow.' He says that when he got this right he hit the ball well. Is a slow swing important? more
Ask Andy
I have been told I have a weak grip which contributes to my slice. What is the ideal hand position? more
Ask Andy
I HAVE a strong iron game but as soon as I get a driver in my hands on the tee I lose all confidence and control. What should I be working on at the driving range to help conquer my weakness? more
Ask Andy
I recently started playing golf but keep topping the ball. Am I simply lifting my head too soon, as I have tried to keep my focus over the ball but with no success? more
