Want your swing to feel a little more solid? These guides break technique down into simple pieces — the grip and stance that everything is built on, why the ball curves and how to straighten it, and a few honest drills for chipping, putting and clean contact. Read one, take it to the range, and give it a fair try. And when you’d like a pair of eyes on your swing, that’s exactly what a lesson is for.
Chipping basics: stop scooping
Scooping is when you try to lift the ball into the air with your hands instead of letting the club do it. Almost every beginner does this. It feels natural — and it is exactly the thing that gives you those ugly thin and fat chips around the green. Once you stop scooping, chipping becomes one of the easiest, most satisfying shots in golf. Let me show you how.

Short putts are the fastest way to lower your score. Not the driver, not a new expensive club. The three-foot putt you leave short, or push past the hole. Fix that, and the whole round feels easier.
Read guide →5 golf drills you can do indoors (great for Dutch winters)
Winter is not the season your golf gets worse. It is the season you get ahead of everyone who stops. In the Netherlands the courses go quiet from about 1 November to 30 April, when winter rules ("plaatsen") come in and a hard frost or a thaw can close the greens, or the whole course, at short notice. That downtime is real. So instead of waiting for spring, you bring a little golf into your living room.
Read guide → Start hereGolf grip, stance and posture — the fundamentals
Good golf starts before the club ever moves. Grip, stance, posture: these three set up everything that comes after. Get them right and half of the "swing problems" you worry about simply never appear. In Dutch lessons we even give them a name, GOH — grip, opstelling (stance), houding (posture). It is Lesson 1 for a reason.
Read guide →How to Fix a Slice
A slice happens when your clubface points to the right of your swing path at impact. That open face puts sidespin on the ball, and it curves away to the right for a right-handed golfer. Fix the face and the path, and the slice goes away. Everything else is detail.
Read guide →How to fix a hook
A hook happens when your clubface is closed compared to your swing path at the moment you hit the ball. That closed face is the real culprit. The face controls roughly 75–85% of where your ball starts and a big part of how it spins, so when it points left of your path, the ball curves hard to the left (for a right-handed golfer). Fix the face and the hook softens fast. Let me show you how.
Read guide →Stop hitting it fat or thin — solid-contact drills
Fat and thin shots feel like two different problems. They are not. They come from one thing: the bottom of your swing arc lands in the wrong place. Fix that, and both mishits disappear together. Let me show you how.
