By Jerry Watkins


Golf is a very complicated game, which means in order to play it properly, you must keep many different things in mind. However, this does not mean that you cannot turn into a great golf player if you are just beginning. As long as you realize that it takes practice and your expectations are realistic regarding how much you can achieve within a certain timeframe, there's nothing stopping you from becoming an excellent player. Continue reading for advice that can help you with your golf game.

If you have never played golf before but are excited to start, you might be tempted to rush out and buy the most expensive and snazzy-looking golf clubs you can. However, this is not the opposite of what you should do, especially if you have never played before. In fact, your first couple of games should be played with rented golf clubs until you know if you even like playing the game. Why throw money out the window before you are absolutely certain that you like the game and actually want to play regularly? If you have been bitten by the golf bug, though, and are a relatively advanced player, you can consider getting a set of professionally fitted clubs. Although they are not cheap, they can be valuable because of the thickness of the grip to the length and the stiffness of the shaft

The simplest method for getting a better golf game is to just hire a professional instructor. Since you will be paying money for his time, you need to really use the instructor to your benefit. This means that you need to check your shyness at the door and speak up. If something does not seem logical to you, then let your instructor know. You should not be afraid to discuss your goals and talk about your problems. Also, try to be composed. This is because if you are anxious, you will swing too fast and you can't concentrate. You must concentrate on both the game and instructor, or you will lose valuable time and learn nothing.

You would be amazed at how much you can enhance your game if you think about your shots. Just relax when you have a few spare minutes. Play out the shot in your mind, from the moment you position yourself, to the moment the ball lands. 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 know everything. You will be able to immediately perform without over thinking it. Over analyzing a shot is an error that a lot of people new to golfing make. This prompts them to think twice about what they have done. As a result, they are so afraid that they are going to make a mistake that it turns into a self fulfilling prophecy. So to avoid this confusion just visualize your shots in your spare time. You will find that your game will improve significantly.
