I came across this from an article in a mag and thought it might help:
Butch Harmon's list of golf "don'ts" that can undermine even the best players:
1 - Starting your downswing with your upper body.
2 - Picking up the club, or pulling the club inside on your takeaway.
3 - Laying up too close.
4 - Having your ball too far forward or back instead of even with your heart.
5 - Hitting the "ego" shot. ie., going for the sucker pin, or taking too little club.
6 - Keeping your knee straight or locked at the start of your backswing.
7 - Taking the putter blade too far back and then decelerating coming into the ball.
8 - Keeping all your weight on your back foot while chipping.
Sometimes I am guilty of no. 6. Which are your common mistakes?
