Free golf tips are always in demand for the weekend golfer. You never know when the next golf tip is the one that helps you slash strokes from your score.

I love testing new ways to improve my golf swing but you need to keep in mind the only place to try out any new golf tips you come across is at the practice range or the practice putting green. Never try to make adjustments when you are on the golf course.

One of the best golf tips I can give you right now is for those of you who have had a layoff over the winter and are just getting ready to start back up golfing this year.

Head to the practice green rather than directly to the driving range. Practice your chipping and your putting. This is the area where most golfers will find they can actually make immediate progress and cut stokes.

Think about all the short chip shots you need and how many strokes you might cut off your scores by 1 or 2 putting on every green.
