Many newbies in sports think it's all about copying the moves of their favorite athletes, like, say...LeBron James, Tom Brady, Stephen Strasburg or Tiger Woods. After all, don't those moves make them the best in their game?
If that's how you wish to roll, then chances are you don't have LeBron's hops, Brady's intangibles or Strasburg's 100-mph arm - or in this case, Tiger Woods' golf swing.
Really, no two people ever swing at the ball in the same way. Everyone has a muscle type and body type that cannot be 100% the same as another person. A method of golf used by one person who's of a different build and has developed a different set of muscles may not be of value to you. This is especially true with golf. Find a method of playing that produces results for you, and then go with it.
To further enhance your natural game, professional coaching can help you correct any faults you may have. But when choosing a professional coach, you'll need to find someone who won't try to change the way you play by teaching you his technique when it isn't appropriate.
When choosing a professional, he has to be of top caliber. You don't just want him to stand there and watch you swing either. Have him actually show you how to get out of sand, mud, and water and the principles of some less obvious shots. Now isn't that time and money well spent?
When playing an actual game, decisiveness is key to helping you make the best shot possible. If you happen to have a bad game - hey, it happens to Tiger and company every now and then - don't let it get you down or make you change your technique. Granted, some techniques really are fundamental principles and need to be observed. But it's impossible to make a shot and the whole time be thinking of seven or eight things like your grip, where your feet are, where the ball is, keep your eye on the ball, follow through, keep your head straight, etc.
Take note of these two things if you wish to move your game to the next level.
It's all about balance, regardless of the club you are using or the stroke you are trying to make. You must keep balanced during the striking of the ball.
The second tip would be to focus on the ball at all times. Make sure any stance you take allows you to see the ball from every point of the stroke.
It's important to do things the right way, and do it your way in golf. And once you finally succeed, maybe this advice will help the naive young kid trying to imitate your every move.
