TIP! Practicing with slightly different stances will help you learn the best way to stand. Standing properly is vital dependent upon your size, gender, and height.

Golf has been a favorite of many players since the early 1400s. The sport has evolved in many ways over the years, but remains both a relaxing and involved game. This article is just what you need to take full advantage of your time on the course.

TIP! If you have the opportunity, ask a professional his or her opinion on a club, or certainly on a set of new clubs you are considering purchasing. This is important because they will know what type of club suits you the best and, should have the information on all of the latest clubs available.

It is a good idea to skip the golf cart and walk the course when you are golfing. This helps you get much more exercise so that you can improve your health. If you walk, your muscles will be more flexible than if you ride. Flexibility helps your golf swing and the accuracy of your shots.

TIP! Put your whole body behind your golf swing. Beginners believe that the strength in their swing comes solely from the arms, but the truth is that using only your arms will give you a very weak shot.

Before you invest in a new set of clubs, ask your course’s resident golf pro what they recommend. This helps you out because they can help you find the perfect clubs, and they’ll also be abreast of the latest developments in new clubs.

TIP! When you get ready to swing, check your posture by wiggling your toes. If you can move your feet very easily, then you have not aligned your body properly enough to take your shot.

Before you swing, check your stance by wiggling your toes. If it is difficult to wiggle your toes when preparing to swing your club, this indicates you are leaning too far towards the ball. To attain the correct posture, a golfer must lean back to the point at which there is some “play” in the feet.

TIP! Don’t take yourself, or the game of golf, too seriously. Mistakes in golf are common, and laughing at yours will allow you to learn from them and stay relaxed.

One way to check for correct posture before you swing is by wiggling your toes. If you have no trouble moving your feet, then you need to reduce the angle at which you are leaning relative to the ball. You need to lean into your ball so your feet are able to move a little bit, just not extremely far.

TIP! Always start each swing with your feet in proper alignment. Few things will improve a golf swing as much as having the correct footwork.

Golf is a game and should be fun, not stressful. Stay relaxed and remember that mistakes happen. Keeping a sense of humor will allow you to recover form your mistakes.

TIP! When buying used golf clubs, carefully examine the club head. Golf clubs with a large amount of wear from heavy use will show a shiny spot where the ball has come in contact with the club.

You should put all of your attention on the next shot. Don’t let other players’ or even your own good or bad shots effect the next one you take. Dwelling on past mistakes will only beget more of them, so let them go and move on.

Therefore, you should stretch prior to playing, and always drink lots of water. Taking care of your body can add to your golfing success.

TIP! Try to find ways around the problem if you can’t figure out how to solve it. It might become a unique trait that actually adds to your golf game’s style.

Carry a snack which is high in protein on the course with you. The game of golf requires full use of your body and mind which can be tiresome. When you eat a good snack all of that protein can keep your body and mind energized and free from fatigue so that you can concentrate on your game.

Golf Club

TIP! One key mental aspect of golf is to remember that the goal is to have fun. The more you play and the more people you play with, the faster your game will improve.

If you’re going to treat yourself to a golf club, have it custom-fitted. The right golf club needs to be suited to your weight, height, and body structure. Having a club that has synergy with your body shows in your improved swing.

Golf is popular for many reasons. You simply just have to apply what you learned as much as possible and you’re set.

Don’t just take our word for it!

"This system has given me a better understanding of the mechanics of the swing which I could not get through lessons. After completing this system my drives are much straighter, but the biggest benefit has been with my fairway woods.

This system is a ready reference for anytime I want to refresh the mechanics of my swing. I have seen similar instructions in other books etc. but never laid out in the same detailed way as your system.

This "Draw" System has given me more enjoyment because I finally feel I can work the ball either way now. I'm on a 10.5 hcp and The "Draw" System is what I need to help me get down to a single figure handicap."

Although the system is meant to improve your draw, in fact it has improved other areas of my game e.g. my setup and accuracy. I am now consistently hitting the ball cleanly and going in the direction I want it to. I think these are the benefits of the various drills and exercises you suggested.

The "Draw" System has narrowed the exercise and search for improving my game because everything is presented in a neat package without having to search all of them individually.

Being new to the game I did wonder why certain drills and exercises were recommended. In the end I did find out they were great. The instructions are explained very simply and easy to follow but as I said I did wonder initially what they had to do with trying to draw the ball. The answers came in the end.

I used to slice the ball badly before but now I can hit it straight or if it goes right it is not as bad as before, at least it still stays on the fairway. It is a great feeling to see that ball stay on the fairway."
