Ian Poulter

The 2010 World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship winner shares his secrets.

BY GLENN MONDAYPublished: April, 2010

Ian Poulter surged up the Official World Golf Rankings when he won February’s World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona.
 
Glenn Monday: What are some things you’re always working on?
Ian Poulter: When I do get a little haywire, I go back to the basics like ball position and club alignment. I try to work the club away from the ball slightly on the inside. I must guard against my club starting back on the outside, which causes me to lay it off at the top.

GM: What do you feel with your grip?
IP: I hold the club with controlled comfort. I suggest that you try to avoid tension in the hands, wrists, arms and shoulders.

GM: How is your golf swing evolving?
IP: I’ve become a better ballstriker. No one swings it perfect — everyone is different and has their own DNA. At the end of the day, providing you’re striking it well, it must mean you’re swinging it well. Better ball-striking is my quest.

GM: You love to play this game. How did that love come about?
IP: I worked in a pro shop for seven years. I wanted to get out and play the game. I absolutely love this game and I love the pressure. I thrive on it — the more the better. I go out and play and have fun. For me, the golf course is a challenge and an adventure.

GM: What advice would you give to the amateur golfers?
IP: Get a rangefinder and then go see your local professional for lessons.
