By Amy Norman


A lot of people have problems for years trying to make their golf game better, but they never make any progress. Unfortunately, they end up giving up on the game out of sheer frustration. If you find yourself in this predicament, do not be too quick to throw away your golf clubs because everyone can turn into a better golfer. You just have to make sure that you are going about it the right way. The following three tips will help you to make your game better and give you the game that you have always envisioned.

Whether you are completely new to the game or have played a while but cannot not get better, you should think about getting some professional help. This is because a pro will know exactly which parts of your game need to be improved. This is because he or she will analyze your game objectively. Also, a pro can bring to your attention any bad habits that you are doing. He can help you correct them. However, ensure that you are honest and inform him of any problems, goals and shots that you are having issues with. Also, you need to be certain that the instructor knows your learning preference. Do you want to view it first and then mimic it? Or, do you prefer to have it explained to you? It does not matter. Just make sure that the instructor knows so you don't waste each other's time.

Improving your golf game isn't just a matter of playing. One of the best ways to play a better golf game is to watch other players. You should watch them very closely and evaluate everything from their posture and aim to their swing. However, it is essential to only watch those who have the same physical traits as yourself. For example, you want to follow someone who has a similar build to you and whose pace and shape of swing is close to yours. Likewise, choose the player to follow according to your goals. So, if you wish to learn a long game, then analyze someone like Ernie Els. Or, you can pay attention to Walter Hagen if you choose to perfect short games. If you want to improve your putting, then Phil Mickelson is a good bet.

You would be amazed at how much you can enhance your game if you think about your shots. Simply sit back, when you have a little time. Imagine the shot in your head form the moment you line up to the time the ball hits the ground. If you do this exercise often enough you will find that it will come much easier to you when you're on the range. This is because you will have learned all that you have to know. You will get to the point where it comes naturally without hour having to over analyze it. Thinking about a shot is a mistake that many new golfers make. This leads to them second-guessing themselves. In the end, they become so stressed about making a mistake that it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. So in order to get around this, just think about your shots as much as you can. You will realize that you game improves a lot.

Whether you choose to go it alone or get professional help to improve your game, these tips will come in handy. Just remember that your game will get better when you are more relaxed. So, do not worry about the little things. Besides, you want the game to be fun.
