There are lots of great tips to bring out your creative side on the golf course, but one in particular stands out above the rest.

In a recent newsletter survey, I asked readers what their favorite tip was, and this one got the most nods.

Because of the recent trend toward the “bomb and gouge” approach to playing golf, creative shot making gets little emphasis. But sometimes you're faced with a circumstance where you have no choice but to manufacture a unique shot.

Without devoting some time to learn imaginative ways to get the ball up and down, you're won't be successful in awkward situations.

So, what's the most effective way to learn how to pull those creative shots off?

By playing nine holes with just a putter and one other club.

Sound too simple?

It's a well known practice tip, but not many golfers take advantage of it.

Play nine holes with a 7 iron and a putter, and you'll find yourself manufacturing all kinds of shots you really need when you're in a bind.

This tip is one of the best ways to acquire the touch and expertise you'll need when you have to knock it down, or hook or slice it around trouble.

Get the hang of these creative shots and the only thing separating you from lower golf scores is how far you can stretch your imagination.
