Don’t Forgo the Free Golf Lesson

By admin, September 3, 2010 1:48 pm

It always amazes me how many novice to intermediate golfers are willing to commit to an instruction program without any prior knowledge. It’s even more surprising when you consider that most courses and even online services allow you a free golf lesson in order to make sure it’s compatible with what you’re looking for.

In fact, I’d suggest being wary of any golf instruction that did not offer a free golf lesson, or at least a money-back guarantee and the option of opting out after the first lesson. Since many people are skeptical of them, most online services have begun offering a free golf lesson. Usually it involves taping your swing or some aspect of your short game, and then submitting it to them for evaluation. Their response is a great way to get an idea of how valuable online analysis can be.

Online Golf Tips & Healthy Skepticism

By admin, September 2, 2010 12:01 pm

Golf is big business. There is an abundance of websites dedicated to the game, and online golf tips are a popular subject. Many of us love to read about golf, and online golf tips give us an opportunity to do that free. As an experienced golfer, we’re often able to identify spam disguising itself as online golf tips. The problem lies with the novice, to whom it might not be so obvious.

As a novice player, it’s particularly important that you know where the tips are coming from. Don’t blindly integrate something into your game simply because you read it. If you?re taking instruction, run it by your instructor. If not, you should be, but in the meantime run it by a golfer you respect, or just file it away for a time when you’re better suited to evaluate it.

Take a slice out of your score next round

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.

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. The problem for most is that they spend too much time practicing the wrong things. They take 100 swings on the range, only to make the problem worse. So what can you do? PGA golf instruction is the simple answer.

When you get PGA golf instruction from a licensed pro, you will learn ways to fix the exact problems ailing your game. The best part of this process is that the pro will provide you with some easy tricks and exercises that you can use on your own.

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.

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.

Since it can be played by people of all ages and ability, golf is quite possibly the most popular sport in the world. However, while it is very popular, it can also be quite frustrating when not played well. Luckily, through a professional lesson, you could easily drop strokes from your golf score and enjoy the game even more.

The main way that a professional golf lesson will help you drop strokes from your golf score is by improving your stroke.

Through a professional lesson, you will learn the techniques needed to hit the ball consistently with both power and accuracy.

Using a PGA Golf Book to Improve Your Game

By admin, June 25, 2010 11:46 am

Improving our golf game is something we love to work at, but it’s important for golfers to look at every possible resource when finding advice.

For this reason, it’s one thing to go find a golf pro for instruction or pick up a magazine, but many golfers ignore getting a PGA golf book, even though it has contributions and advice for the top players.

An officially sanctioned book not only provides some of the absolute best advice, it also is carefully cultivated so that the PGA feels comfortable putting their name and brand on the cover.

There’s a lot of bad advice available to golfers so getting the advantage of a PGA golf book just makes the learning process easier.
