I'd like to win the Masters and the PGA and complete the career Grand Slam.
From Ernie Els
I'm sure you have a hole at your course where you love to hit the tee shot. You can't wait to get up there and bomb away because the fairway is wide, or the hole always plays downwind.
Make a conscious effort to loosen your hands and let your arms feel soft when you're at address. Take the club back a bit shorter, and feel as if you're cracking a whip on the way down - not tensing up to smash something hard.
Your longest drives will come when you feel you're swinging at 75 percent.
Throughout my career, I've been sponsored by several different equipment companies - Lynx, Titleist, Callaway.
I use a 1994 South African 5 rand coin to mark my ball. It reminds me of my '94 U.S. Open win at Oakmont.
Something I've really enjoyed learning more about is course design.
Unless it's a dead-straight short putt, you should focus on a spot somewhere along the line you want to roll the ball on.
You should never get set over the ball and then aim your putter face. If you do it in that order, you can easily lose sight of your intended line. Instead, aim the face down your line first, then settle your body into position.
Right before I start the putter back, I think about making solid contact. This brings your attention to the back of the ball and helps keep your head still at impact, which is a must. Many amateurs take a peek down the line too soon, and that can cause all sorts of mis-hits.
