8 Hot Tips to Improve Your Golf Game

1. By experimenting, you can find the best way to stand while playing. Finding a good stance is essential, but several variables, including body type, height, and gender can affect which stance is best. However, taking the time to find this ideal stance will do wonders for the rest of your game.
2. An easy exercise, a “toe-wiggling” exercise, can show golf stance faults. If it is too difficult to prepare a swing while moving the toes around, it means the golfer is too leaning to far toward the ball. Make sure your weight is on the balls of your feet to give yourself the proper stance.
3. Prior to purchasing a new set of golf clubs, take the time to consult with a knowledgeable club technician. Always research the newest innovations, and try a wide variety of golf clubs before deciding which ones to purchase.
4. When you first start out playing golf, it’s important to learn how to properly grip the club. Many people mistakenly believe they should grip the club extra-tight to hit the ball farther. A firm, yet soft, grip works better. Hold the club as if you are holding a bird. If you have the right grip, you can control the direction your ball will go in. A grip that is overly tight will pull your shot to the right. Conversely, if you’re holding your golf club too loosely, your ball will veer to the left. Watch the video to improve your golf grip.

5. Don’t just use your arms and back for power when swinging a golf club. Involve your whole body to improve the effectiveness of your golf swing. When people first start out playing golf, they think the power is in their arms, but that is only partially true because you need to be in coordination with your body to hit the ball far. Moving your whole body will transfer the strength and motion from your legs and torso through to your ball.
6. Whenever you can team up with strong golfers, do so! This way, you can learn by observation. There are plenty of ways that you can benefit from a talented golfer. It does not have to be a professional for you to be able to pick up helpful pointers. Pay attention to how they play to get new ideas, and just being in their midst might make you rise to the occasion.
7. When you play golf, learn about keeping track of the score. This is vital because your score is considered to be representative of your skill as a golfer. Every time you hit the ball counts as a stroke, and the total number of strokes you get from tee to hole is your cumulative score for that hole. Unlike most sports, a lower score is better!
8. Buy a good golf training video course that will allow you to watch lessons over and over to pick up small pointers until they become second nature to your game. We recommend The Simple Golf Swing by David Nevogt. Right now, you can download his free chapter on how to improve your golf setup.

These tips should help you improve your golf game and feel more confident when you play. As with anything, the more you learn and put it into practice, the better you will become at what you’re doing.
