7 Tips For Golfing

Posted on November 28th

It’s when you start to play a round of golf that you learn quickest. If you have got bad golf habits today, you almost certainly learned them when you first took up golf. But the better news is that anyone can break unacceptable habits and learn good ones. Here are two tips to help you on the way to playing better golf.

1. Your aim is critical. If you can not send the ball in the right direction you will never get it in any of the holes. The clubface is the only thing that propels the ball, so line up the clubface with the target first, then take your position with your shoulders parallel to the target line.

2. Always target away from potential problems. Tee the ball on the side where the difficulty is. This will help to keep the ball in play and sidestep any penalties.

3. Bad wrist action equals a bad shot in 90 p.c of cases. Keep the left wrist flat re the back of the left forearm and the back of the left hand, and don't swing the club back further than shoulder turn.

4. Read the green correctly. A golf ball will most likely roll away from a hill and toward a water source. So , keep this in mind and adjust as necessary.

5. The grain of the green is crucial too as it effects the roll. Glossy grass show the grain running away from you, and dreary grass illuminates the grain running toward you. Putts with the grain go faster and further. Those against the grain go slower and less far.

6. Your shoulders should follow your swing. They ought to be passive and not lead. Remember that your shoulder movement will determine the direction that your club, and therefore the ball, will travel.

7. Place the ball on the ground and take your stance in such a manner the shade of your head covers the ball. Make your swing keeping your eyes on the shadow. If the shadow moves off the ball you have lost the right swing center. If you keep the shade on the ball, although it moves a little , you have maintained the proper swing position.
