TIP! This helps you determine your best stance. It’s crucial to have a good stance, but what stance works, depends on your overall size, height and gender.

Professionals and amateurs can learn new techniques for playing a better game of golf. Regardless of your skill level, find new ways to improve your golf game. Before beginning, review this list of excellent tricks and tips that will give you valuable insight into the game of golf.

TIP! If you need to make a long putt, focus mostly on the speed that you hit the ball with. It is probably better to not actually aim at the hole, but to instead putt towards a target someplace in between the hole and you.

This can help you figure out what can work best. It is important to have a proper golf stance, but there are different factors that can affect the stance, such as height or gender. Determining the right stance is a must for any serious player.

TIP! Knowing how exactly to keep score is a good idea for golf. You should know this because your reputation as a player is based on your score.

Consider walking the golf course, rather than using a cart. Doing so gives you magnitudes more exercise over the course of your game, and makes golf both fun, relaxation and exercise. Walking also keeps your muscles loose and warm.

TIP! Prior to buying a golf club, consider getting one custom-fitted to your specifications. Everyone has different body types, heights, and strength.

If you want to improve the quality of your swing, you should learn to put the full force of your body into the motion. Beginning golfers often assume that the swing is all in the arms, but if you use only the strength in your arms, then your drives will literally come up short. Put the momentum of your whole body behind every swing for maximum distance.

TIP! Don’t get used to trying to assume unnatural stances. Practice standing without holding your club.

Remember that this shot is the only one that matters right now. Don’t let other players’ or even your own good or bad shots effect the next one you take. Worrying about mistakes or hazards will take your mind off the current swing. Put them aside, and focus on the present.

TIP! Instead of stubbornly attempting to overpower the issue with your willpower, just find a workaround. Workarounds are what make each player’s game unique and can provide an advantage in certain situations.

Speed is a critical factor when you are trying to make a long distance putt. Don’t shoot for the hole; shoot for a target just short of the hole. You will greatly increase your chances for an easy short putt if don’t overshoot or undershoot your first one.

For this reason, stretch before you play and drink plenty of water. Your strength, balance, and many other physical factors contribute to your success at golf.

TIP! Prior to hitting the ball, be sure to take a nice, deep breath to cleanse yourself. This will relieve the tension in your body and help you concentrate on hitting your next shot.

The muscles through your entire body should come into play for the most powerful stroke possible, and your legs and trunk are most crucial. While you swing keep your upper body loose, and try to generate your swing’s power from your mid-section and legs.

TIP! Don’t bring your club back so far; it will help give your swing more power. Pulling the club back does put power into the hit, but overdoing it can ruin your posture, you may even miss the ball entirely and possibly even injure yourself.

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.

I know your a busy man so I'll keep this short. If I ever meet you in person I'll KISS you!!!!! You have saved my golf game. I've been playing for 2 years and in the beginning I found it very easy. In less than 9 months I was a 14 and it was looking like it was going to continue to go down. Then I hit a wall, that little ball started to go right, and then it went further right, then even further right..... I was losing massive distance as well, 3 clubs. I fought with it for ages.  Well I'm now 4 months into my new swing and I shot a 77 yesterday. You absolute beauty!!!! 15 of 18 greens, what a game!!!!! Your mental course is magnificent, coupled with the draw system I can now play golf on a level I never thought possible.

"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."
