TIP! To get a better workout and save money, walk the golf course, instead of using a golf cart. Golfers who walk significantly increase their physical exertion and, therefore, the health benefits they enjoy from golfing.

Whether you are a rookie or a seasoned golfer, there is always something new to learn. Golf is a game that is always challenging you, regardless of current skill. Before you get started, take a look at this selection of tips for making your golf game what you have always dreamed.

TIP! One of the first things you want to get down when learning golf is the proper grip for all of your clubs. Most commonly, people try to grip the club hard in hopes of hitting the ball further.

The beginning golfer needs to learn the right way to grip a club. Many people mistakenly believe they should grip the club extra-tight to hit the ball further. A better approach is to employ a grip which is firm but softer. Hold the club like you would hold a bird.

TIP! Focus completely on the present shot. Whether you have been hitting well or poorly so far doesn’t matter – you’re only as good as your next shot.

Wiggling your toes just before your stroke is a good indicator of your readiness for a good swing. If this action causes your feet to shift significantly, then you are not properly balanced over the ball. Lean toward the ball, moving your feel a little. If you move your feet too far, it does not work the way it should.

TIP! Speed is a critical factor when you are trying to make a long distance putt. Instead of aiming for the hole, read the putt and aim for an intermediate target.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to not take it too seriously. Things are bound to go wrong from time to time, so you need to learn to laugh at your mistakes. This will help you recover more quickly and relax so you can get on with your game.

Sweet Spot

TIP! The muscles from your legs to your fingertips will all be used in a successful shot. Your body needs to accelerate with the finesse of a whip.

You need to find your golf club’s “sweet spot.” This is a point on the club’s blade that propels the ball to where you want it to go every time it makes contact. When you hit the ball at the lowest point of your swing, you can gain greater distance. To do this, discover the sweet spot on each of your irons; by taking this approach, you get the most from your clubs.

TIP! Be sure that your feet are lined up correctly. This is perhaps the simplest and most effective way to improve your swing.

Be sure that all of your attention is dedicated towards your next shot. Don’t dwell on a bad play at the previous hole, or worry about what’s up ahead, but concentrate on the task at hand. Worrying about mistakes or hazards will take your mind off the current swing. Put them aside, and focus on the present.

TIP! If you are investing in an expensive new golf club, having it custom-fitted may be a good choice. While it may be tempting to grab a stock set off the shelf, the wide variety of body types makes it unlikely that you will fit the set without adjustment.

When playing golf with highly skilled players, study their technique. You can learn a lot from a fellow golfer. You do not need to find a pro to get help from a better player. Watching how they play can give you many ideas and they may just help you play stronger.

TIP! Check your grip on the club before you make your swing. Place the handle on your palms, and point your thumbs down.

Be sure you are using appropriate posture to maximize the impact of your golf swing. Your position is usually an indicator of where the ball will go. The ball will not go very far if you are not slouching the right amount.

TIP! In golf, swing your hips swiftly so that you may shift weight from your back foot to your front foot during a swing. Hip swing, a move where your weight is shifted from your back foot to your front foot, is a critical determinant in your golf swing.

Before you buy a golf club, you may want to think about getting custom-fitted for it. Not every golfer is the same height, weight or body structure. Once club will not work perfectly for every golfer. Getting the right club for your body will help your swing.

TIP! Always stand about three to five feet behind the golf ball and look ahead to where you need to send it. In this moment, you need to mindful of wind and other current conditions.

Now that you have taken the initiative to learn something new about the sport of golf, you can impress your golfing buddies (or that gorgeous pro shop attendant) with the information you’ve just picked up. Look for new ways to apply these skills to your current game, to make the game even more challenging and engaging.

Don’t just take our word for it!

"My fairway woods are now much more consistent in distance and much straighter, both off the tee and from the fairway. Also my mid iron shots are more consistent than in the past.

This system helped me to learn to put all the pieces together to know what a good swing should feel like. Whereas in the past someone might give me a good piece of advice, but I never had it in the context of a whole solid swing. And now I'm finally gaining confidence with my swing.

The instructions were easy to follow. The pictures added a lot of clarity to what you were looking to emulate. The "Draw" System gives you a step by step approach to building a good, solid, repeatable golf swing. All the drills are geared towards that singular goal of producing a swing that will produce a draw.

I've seen a lot of the drills used in The "Draw" System, but this is the first time where I've seen all the drills tied together in order to produce the "whole" good swing. And I'm finally learning what a good swing should feel like, (after years of unsuccessful guessing), and can try to recreate that sensation on the course.

I enjoy playing golf more now because I can actually start aiming at where I want to hit the ball. And I'm having a lot more fun actually hitting a lot more often from the fairway!

A very good, useful book! Thanks for compiling all the information and drills to help me understand and incorporate the swing mechanics in order to produce a draw."

"I am now hitting more fairways than ever before. I only slice maybe twice a round now and this is only when I fall back into old habits. Also I have gained about 15-20 yards which gives me shorter second shots.

I used to hit maybe 3 fairways in an 18 hole round but now I miss only 2 in a round and sometimes none.

This system was easy to read and follow instructions. The drills were simple and anybody ought to be able to read and understand the directions.

I must say it's a lot more fun to play from the fairways than always from the rough on the right side."
