Tips to Up Your Golf Game

Tips and tricks for beginners to improve their golfing experience.

Golf is a sport that requires precision and focus. The hardest part of the golf swing is keeping the head down. The problem is most golfers are used to a baseball or tennis type of swing, which involves a lot of head movement. A player needs to see where they’re hitting the ball in these sports to adjust their body accordingly. Here are some tips to help improve one’s game.

Energy

Golfing takes concentration, plus someone needs to perform well under pressure. It’s essential to give oneself plenty of time before the round to keep the energy levels high. A person should eat breakfast, stretch and relax for at least one hour before the play.

Keep it Steady

Don’t let the shoulders get ahead of the hands while swinging. It is recommended that beginners practice swinging inside a six-foot circle at home before heading to the driving range or tee box. Suppose one would like to take a lesson, schedule one before the round to see the results immediately. Make sure that any instructor discusses the proper grip for each club.

Practicing with Clubs

A person can improve their golf game by getting out to the driving range and practicing with a few clubs. It’s essential to get out there and practice one’s swing before playing to make sure to have the swing down. One doesn’t want to be learning it on the course because this could cause problems, especially if playing with others.

Discover the Hidden Obstacles

When practicing, a person should go to different driving range areas. The more variety one has, the better prepared for any course difficulties. Practice hitting balls off the ground, off sand, off the grass, and even hit some into water (if it is safe). This will help one learn how to adjust a swing when certain obstacles are in the way or present themselves.

Shoes

A good golf shoe has a non-marking sole that provides traction on the wet green surface of the golf course. These shoes are designed so that the weight is distributed evenly across both feet when standing in your stance. This will help keep balance and remain steady through impact.

Dressing Up

The most important thing to remember is to be comfortable. Wear loose-fitting clothing (no tight collars) or clothing with built-in stretch fabrics if possible. Concentration is vital when playing, and having something tight around the neck or waist will only distract from thinking about a swing and landing shots where one wants them!
