3 Basic Tips

11:15 pm May 31, 2009

Even if you just like to hit a few rounds during your leisure time,
you can lower your score by using some basic common sense. Here
are some tips to improve your game. These aren’t rocket science, but
are worth mentioning.

Here they are:

1. No switching balls during a hole. The rules state that you must
play with the same ball from the tee to final putt. Wherever the ball
lands, that is where you play it from. Get used to following the rules.

2. Carry a scorecard with you. Carrying a scorecard is a great way to
track your progress.

3. The best way to keep track of your progress & improve your short
game is to keep & compare older scorecards. In other words, if you
just hit the course last month, bring along that scorecard the next
time you play. You now have an opportunity to look at how you
played the hole last time & improve on it.

Golfing Tips

10:06 pm May 30, 2009

When you initiate your swing, your body starts to uncoil itself & it
releases a surge of built up energy. Beginning with your hips, then
shoulders & ultimately the arms & wrists, the entire movement is
like a whip snapping. (Before making contact, the worst thing that
you can do is allow your hands & forearms to release, or “turn
over.”)

Similar to a shutting door, the clubface quickly moves from an open
position to a closed one as it approaches impact. The releasing
movement is caused by your hands & forearms turning. If you don’t
release, then your clubface may remain open & you may end up
slicing. Yuck.

During the moment of impact, your clubface should point towards
your target line & you should swing right through.

A. Your Grip

To ensure that you release appropriately, pay attention to your grip.
It should be have firm, yet light pressure throughout the entire
swing. Nothing affects a shot more than having too much tension in
the arms & hands.

Next, try to swing with a decent balanced tempo. Too many
beginners swing so hard & fast that they leave the clubface open
when impact occurs.

And finally, for right-handed golfers, try to keep the backside of
your left hand pointed down towards the target line.

B. Making Impact Count

During impact, you should have the feeling that your forearm (right
side right-handed golfers) is turning over your left forearm during
impact.

You can practice this by swinging in slow motion. Simply swing the
club up & through. Pay special attention to the movement that your
forearms make: try to turn the right forearm over the left one.

During impact, totally freeze your body & then check out the
position of your clubface. Since it’s in slow motion, this shouldn’t be
hard to accomplish. It will either be square, open, or closed. Try to
ensure that the clubface is square to your target line….

Golf BackSwing Tips…

9:20 am May 25, 2009

The following points & tips accurately sum up beginner advice to
getting a great golf swing:

1. What makes a golf swing more difficult to perfect than other
sports, such as baseball, is that it involves both vertical and
horizontal planes. In baseball you only swing the bat one way –
horizontally (unless you are trying to hit it out of the park, which
might involve a little vertical action).

2. When you swing, you should not be thinking about making
contact with the ball. Rather, focus on swinging through & beyond
the ball. Pretend that the ball isn’t there.

3. A perfect swing should be balanced, smooth, and graceful. It
should never be forced. Technique and fluidity is everything.

4. Your ideal swing plane should not be steep. Instead, it be as flat as
possible.

5. Begin your backswing very slowly while the clubhead moves low
to the ground. Your body should begin to move in unison, as one
unit.

6. During the top of the swing, the right arm should be folded snug
in into your side (for right-handed golfers). The left arm should be
straight, but not totally stiff. The hips should be turned at
approximately 45°. The shoulders should be approximately 90°.
Most of your weight should also be placed on the right foot.

7. The downswing should be viewed as an “uncoiling” of the body.
Your hips turn first, followed by the shoulders, then arms & hands,
and finally the clubhead comes through. Consider the movement the
same as cracking a whip. CRACK! The majority of your weight
should then be transferred to the left foot during the downswing.

8. You must always follow through once the ball has been hit and is
soaring towards the target. If you do not follow through, you risk
injuries to the arms and torso, as well as decreasing the speed of the
ball.

9. And finally, beginners who are set on learning how to make the
perfect golf swing should probably try a 7-iron. This club is perfect
for learning the proper techniques that make a great swing.

Keep Your Head Down & Eyes On The Ball

10:45 am May 20, 2009

You never know what’s going to happen each time you step foot on
the course. This “unknown” aspect of golf can make the game
exciting to play. Hit a full round at the local course at least three
times per week & every game you play will be an entirely new
experience…

Because golf can present you with hundreds of unexpected shots,
you need to practice as much as you can. Regular practice is the only
way to effectively prepare for the irregular situations that you may
encounter on the course.

Practice unconventional approaches & shots. It’s the only way to get
better.

A. What Does Unconventional Practice Mean?

Far too many new golfers spend the majority of their time practicing

long distance shots on the golf range. Very few work on their short
game skills.

But, in order to really practice, you’ve got to work on those strange
& undesirable shots that you will be inevitably presented with.

*By the way, one of the best ways to do this is to practice with a
friend. No one can think of all the shots. A 2nd viewpoint can really
help!

B. The Look Away

To give you a perfect example of an unconventional practice shot,
here is a lesson that can help you keep your head down & eyes on
the ball when your ball is in a troubled spot.

Step 1: First, take your stance to the left of the ball if you are right
handed & to the right of the ball if you are left handed. Now, face
away from the target. Looking away from the target may seem
awkward at first. But, go with it. Relax & loosen up your body.

Step 2: Now, hold your club (whichever one you like) with it
extended down from your most dominant hand. The blade should be
pointing towards the ground, directly at your feet.

Step 3: Next, place the blade of your club behind the ball & turn
your head slightly back in order to properly aim your shot.

Step 4: Pull the club upwards while extending it forward. Then,
swing the club down & along your target line as best as you can.
Follow through as far as you possible can.

Step 5: Resist the urge to turn around & watch the end result.
Simply concentrate on following through & getting the ball back in
to play towards the green.
