7 Tips To Improve Your Golf

By Frank Hall


It's when you begin to go golfing that you learn quickest. If you have bad golfing habits today, you almost certainly learned them when you first took up golfing. But the good news is that anyone can break unacceptable habits and learn good ones. Here are two tips to help you on the way to playing better golf.

1. Your target is vitally important. If you can not send the ball in the right way you'll never get it in any of the holes. The clubface is the single 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 difficulty is. This'll help to keep the ball in play and avoid penalties.

3. Bad wrist action equals a bad shot in 90 % of cases. Keep the left wrist flat re the back of the left forearm and the back of the left hand, and do not swing the club back farther than shoulder turn.

4. Read the green properly. A golf ball will most likely roll away from a hill and toward a water source. Therefore keep this in mind and adjust as required.

5. The grain of the green is important too as it effects the roll. Glossy grass show the grain running away from you, and leaden 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 ball on the ground and take your position 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 shade on the ball, even though it moves a little bit you have maintained the right swing position.
