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.

Quick and easy golf short game tips

One thing you’ll notice about the best golfers in the world is their brilliant short game, here are some golf short game tips to help you improve.

When playing a practice round, at the green, roughly mark out the 4 points of the compass. The objective is to get the ball stone dead from each point from off the green. If you flub a chip, you go back and start at the beginning. You can optionally add in putting to this drill.

This will get you used to shots from all around the green and also mentally primed for getting the ball close. This sort of practice will help you develop feel and touch, but the most important element is to have a wedge or wedges you feel comfortable practicing golf short game tips with.

Hit the Fairway with Every Drive

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. 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.

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.

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.

Not Every Golf Lesson DVD is Worthless

By admin, May 4, 2010 5:06 pm

I’m not trying to sell you anything, so don’t run when you read the words “golf lesson DVD”. Like you, I ranked those golf lesson DVD media up there with all that spam email that targets golfers. Then a strange thing happened last Christmas. My wife discovered that her friend’s husband was having success with one. So she noted the title, tracked it down, brought it and stuck it under the tree for me. I smiled and hugged her after unwrapping the golf lesson DVD. However, in the back of my mind I’m thinking I’m never going to watch this. Except that I eventually did, and I must admit that I was a little bit surprised at how interesting it was.
