Golf has been around since the early years of the 15th century. Golf has gone through a number of changes, but it’s always been a relaxing and engaging game. The piece that follows offers several great ideas that will refine your golf game in short order.
This will ensure that you optimize your stance. Finding a good stance is essential, but several variables, including body type, height, and gender can affect which stance is best. Discovering your best stance does wonders for your game.
An easy exercise, a “toe-wiggling” exercise, can show golf stance faults. If a golfer ready to swing is unable to wiggle their toes easily, then they are leaning in too much in the direction of the ball. Golfers should lean back until they feel some play in their feet to get proper posture.
Remember that this shot is the only one that matters right now. You should not be distracted by the previous shot or anything else going on around you. Worrying about mistakes or hazards will take your mind off the current swing. Put them aside, and focus on the present.
Each of your golf clubs will have its own “sweet spot”, a spot where, if you strike the ball with a great swing, you will get nearly perfect accuracy. Practice your shots repeatedly to find the sweet spot on each club, remembering to make contact at the absolute bottom of your swing.
Make sure your left hand is actually ahead of your ball when you putt. Swing your club while retaining this position during your stroke. You will then be able to hold the position of your golf club and stop the ball from going off the front of the club.
A good swing is backed by the strength and motion of the whole body as rooted in your core and legs. While you swing keep your upper body loose, and try to generate your swing’s power from your mid-section and legs.
Golf is an easy game to understand once you learn the basics of how it is played. However, everyone has a different style. Size, strength, focus, and a million other factors all play a role in how well you do on the course. Apply a few new techniques, get a good grip or change your swing, and you are going to discover that you win more rounds and have a deeper enjoyment of golf.
