Hit the Fairway with Every Drive

By admin, July 28, 2010 12:53 pm

Many golfers think just because they have the biggest club in the bag in their hands, they can “kill” the ball. They step up, take a mighty swing and watch as their ball slices deep into the woods. A simple tip can help keep your ball in the fairway and lower your score.

If you tend to drive the ball from left to right (as a right handed player) and your ball always seems to roll into the rough, there may be an easy solution. Stand to the extreme right in the tee box, tee your ball up as normal and position yourself as if you were aiming for a target to the left side of the fairway. Your natural swing will start the ball toward the left and then curve back to the center of the fairway.

If you are like most golfers out there, then the issues with your game are probably easy to fix. They include things that you can work on with a little bit of time on the driving range.

Improve Your Driving

A great driving tip to help your golf game is to ditch the driver completely. The driver is the longest club in the bag and has the lowest amount of loft. The combination of low loft and a long shaft make the driver the most difficult club in the bag to control. Play one round without a driver and see if your driving stats improve. Chances are that they will. You will hit more fairways. less out of bounds. and fewer hazards. leading you to shooting better scores. Instead of a driver. consider teeing off with a fairway wood. Most amateurs will hit their 3 wood about as far as the driver. but the added loft and shorter length will create more accurate shots with a smaller range of shot dispersion.

Keeping a Clear Head, Sending your Ball to the Perfect Destination

Keep your mental area in practice, just like you do with your putt!
Here is a great tip for clearing your mind before taking that big swing:
Picture a whiteboard, as your thoughts write themselves on the board, erase them, and clear your mind!
As you tee-off, imagine a blue, rushing energy is swirling toward you, like blue lightning in a plasma globe.
When you take that final breath in before the swing, as you raise your arms to strike, picture that swirling cloud of blue energy. Allow it to enter into and completely fill your body, clearing thoughts and powering your arms and club. Now imagine the energy rushing like lightening bolts, down into your arms, through the club, and driving the ball to its perfect destination.

Curing a slice

If you are like most golfers who hit the links regularly, then you know all about the slice. Just when you need to play your drive to the left, the slice comes back and you find yourself out of bounds or in a hazard. Curing a slice can be one of the most difficult things you can do as a golfer, but there are some answers. With a good golf swing lesson, you can beat the slice.

The problem for most players has to do with swing path. They come over the ball, which causes poor spin and trajectory. In an intensive golf swing lesson, you will learn to come through the ball squarely. This will produce a straighter shot and more distance, as well. When you hit the ball straight, the game really opens up and becomes more fun.

Two Quick Beginner Golf Tips

By admin, July 8, 2010 12:45 pm

Here are two beginner golf tips for those who are just learning to play the game. First of all, don’t go out and spend hundreds of dollars or more on clubs. Sure, this tip won’t help your game much but it will save you a lot of money. There are a lot of different sets of clubs available and the price tag is not necessarily an indicator of which clubs will be best for you. The best idea is to borrow clubs from a friend until you have a better idea of which golf clubs you are most comfortable. Then buy your own set.

The second tip is to stay away from the golf course until you’ve gotten in plenty of practice at the driving range. Take a few lessons and practice, practice, practice. These two beginner golf tips will help you avoid embarrassment when you finally do go to the golf course.

Golf Tip

Here’s a simple golf tip to make sure that your club starts on the proper path on the backswing. Golfers often get into trouble and out of sequence when they take the club too far inside on the backswing. This causes them to be laid off at the top and to come into the ball on a steep plane, which causes inconsistent shots.

To start this golf tip, get a small piece of wood and place it directly behind your club head. As you take the club back, push the piece of wood away from the ball making your club travel more down the path of the target line. From there, rotate to the top, where you should be in perfect position to make a good strike at the ball.

Golf Swing Tips

Some of the most useful golf swing tips involve knowing what to do if your ball lands in a divot. Shots out of divots are difficult to play since the ball is sitting below the surface of the ground. By following these golf swing tips, you play from a divot without fear.

If you want the ball to come out of the divot and chase up to the green, play the ball back in your stance and take one more club.

If you want to fly the ball to the green and land it softly, try playing the ball forward in your stance with one less club than normal. Swing out to in with an open face to play a small fade. The ball should fly high and land soft.

Golf Swing Mechanics

By admin, July 2, 2010 12:51 pm

An aspect of golf swing mechanics that many amateurs overlook is the position of the left wrist at impact. The left wrist should ideally mirror the position of the club face at impact. Often, high handicap golfers have impact positions where their left wrists are bent backwards. This causes them to scoop the ball or to have an open club face, which produces high, sliced shots. At impact, the lead wrist should ideally be flat or slightly bowed. The wrist of the trailing hand should be bent. The resulting effect is that the hands are placed in front of the club head, leading to the golf ball being hit with a descending blow, which is a crucial element in golf swing mechanics for hitting high, crisp, and powerful iron shots.

Never too old to learn

By admin, July 1, 2010 5:13 pm

The game of golf is a great one because it lends itself to just about everyone. You don’t have to be a super athlete or in your athletic prime to play a great round. In fact, many consider golf to be the best of all of the “life sports”, given how easy it is to get out for a round. If you want to play the game well as you enter the senior circuit, then lessons should be on your mind.

Seniors golf instruction is available through many club professionals. Whether you are just learning the game or you have been playing for years, seniors golf instruction can help you hit the ball straighter. Some people think that once you have learned a swing, it is impossible to re-learn better techniques. This is patently false, and seniors golf instruction will prove that point.
