7 Tips To Improve Your Golf
It's when you start to play golf that you learn fastest. If you
have bad golfing habits today, you probably learned them when
you first took up golf. But the good news is that anyone can
break bad habits and learn good ones. Here are a couple of tips
to help you on your way to playing better golf.
1. Your aim is vitally important. If you can't 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 stance with
your shoulders parallel to the target line.
2. Always aim away from potential problems. Tee the ball on the
side where the problem is. This will help to keep the ball in
play and avoid penalties.
3. Bad wrist action equals a bad shot in 90 percent of cases.
Keep the left wrist flat in relation to the back of the left
forearm and the back of the left hand, and don't swing the club
back farther than shoulder turn.
4. Read the green properly. A golf ball will generally roll away
from a hill and towards a water source. So, keep this in mind
and adjust as
necessary.
5. The grain of the green is important too as it effects the
roll. Shiny grass show the grain running away from you, and dull
grass highlights the grain running towards 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 should 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 golf ball on the ground and take your stance in
such a way that the shadow 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 proper swing center. If you keep
the shadow on the ball, even though it moves a little, you have
maintained the correct swing position.
