Golf Course Help

By admin, September 1, 2010 2:29 pm

If you need help on the golf course to score better and play your best round, consider thinking about strategy before you play your round. You will need to learn where to be aggressive and where to dial it back, depending on your level of skill in golf.

For example, on a par 5, if you are a powerful and long driver of the ball, you may consider hitting the driver to give yourself a chance to go for the green in two shots. However, if driving is not your strong point, consider leaving the driver in the bag and taking a shorter, more consistent club. More than likely, you will have to lay up anyway, so it makes no difference if you add twenty yards to your shot with a driver.

Players short in stature and weighing 50 or more pounds less than their counterparts are able to drive the ball just as far. Must be they have a perfect golf swing. Getting enough clubhead speed, being able to hit the ball in the right direction and being able to do it over and over again, makes a perfect golf swing.

Few things kill a golfer’s game off the tee box is much the slice, an affliction that makes an otherwise great tee shot bend to the right (for right-handed hitters) as it flies. Understanding why a shot slices is easier than fixing it, but a standard tip says to check your back swing. Often, the slice is a result of an outside-in swing. Put into layman’s terms, that means that during the back swing, the golf club head is further away from the player’s body than it is when it strikes the ball, creating a spin that makes the ball curve during flight. During your next round or trip to the driving range, pay attention to the path your club head takes during your back swing and see how your slice is affected.
