The free tip fixes the shot. A plan keeps it fixed.
Fairway Plans are printable PDF practice plans. They're built from the same checks you've already read here, put in order, so a fix you found once is still there on Saturday.
The tips on this site stay free. You never need a plan to use them.
Start with the free pages
Most misses get better with one check. Begin with the page that matches what the ball did:
It curved, shot off the neck, or hit the ground first: Fix your miss
You're near the green and every shot feels like a gamble: Short game
You read the check, hit three good ones, and by the next round the old miss is back. That's not because you got it wrong. You had a fix but no sequence: nobody told you what to repeat, in what order, or when to move on.
What a plan is
One miss, one plan. Break 100 in 21 Days, Fix Your Hook, Fix Your Slice, and Stop Topping the Ball.
Short sessions, in order. Day-by-day range and at-home sessions of 15 to 60 minutes (the Break 100 plan adds course days, up to 18 holes), with a tracker to check off each day.
Printable PDF. Fold it into the bag or keep it on your phone. You don't need an account or an app.
Same voice and checks as the free pages. Nothing new to unlearn. Presented by Barnaby, our fictional mascot.
What it isn't
It isn't a swing rebuild, a subscription, a lesson shop or a club sale.
Who writes it
Written by the Free Golf Tips team (Barnaby is our mascot). Each tip is checked against published coaching and rules sources before it goes up.
