Golf

Resist the urge to practice irons in your yard. The correct way to play iron shots is to swing down on the ball. DOing this correctly will take a divot in front of where the ball used to sit. But since its your yard you dont want diviots all over the place. So you unconsiously either dont swing down or you pull up to not take a diviot. Either one actually hurts your swing more than helps it. If you want to practice, go to a range and rip up their lawn. Or visit your in-laws.
