Get Better At Golf with These Simple and Effective Tips

By Niccolino Petersen


Golfers must develop techniques, and practice them. Teach yourself how to swing the club the right way. It's important that you study the various ways in which you can increase your skills as a golfer. Here is some advice to make a better golfer of you.

Retain the proper stance. If you are unsure if you are standing correctly, simply perform this simple test: try to tap your toes up and down without moving your feet. It should take only a little effort to tap. If you find that it is really easy to tap, then you are leaning too far back; conversely, if you struggle to tap your toes, then you are leaning too far forward.

Keep your drives consistently good by setting the tee at the same height every time. If you tee too high, you will sacrifice distance. On the other hand, if you tee too low, you will produce more grounders. Practice to learn what the most effective tee height is for your particular equipment and capabilities.

It's important to keep your eye squarely on the ball. It's a golden rule for many sports, but it's especially applicable to golf. Keep your head down and eyes focused on the ball during every second of your swing.

Despite what most people say, use the same position for the ball for each and every one of your shots. This helps you maintain the same stance and adds consistency to your game. For added loft, drag your trailing foot forward while maintaining the position of the ball. This helps you with proper club selection, regardless of where you find yourself on the fairway.

To maximize power, don't bring the club too far back when you swing. Although pulling back the club will increase the power of your swing, when you swing back too far, you lose your correct posture and this can result in your missing the ball entirely or even cause an injury.

Regardless of your skill level, your golf ball will inevitably land in a bunker, known to no golfers as a sand trap. Getting your ball outside of a bunker can often messy up the affected sand. Once out of a sand trap, rake the sand neatly for the next group of golfers. Raking the bunker allows the golfers behind you to have a much easier time playing their own balls.

If you are mentally prepared it can be very important, just as crucial as being in shape when you are golfing. Put all other stresses in your life out of mind and focus on the game.

Boost your confidence by playing with people who are on your level or slightly higher. Don't try to play with people who are far more skilled than you, as you'll get frustrated. Similarly, playing with people who are far less skilled than you make for a boring game. As a beginner, you should play with others of the same skill level on easy courses. Playing difficult holes, or with golfers, who are experts, will only end up making the game less fun.

The sport itself is easy to learn, and the benefits you get both mentally and physically are exceptional. Now that you've read the above tips, you shouldn't have any problem playing your first round of golf, so why not do it today?
