TIP! It is a great idea to consult with a golf pro prior to investing in new clubs or other equipment. 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.

For many hundreds of years, golf has been a sport enjoyed by the masses. Though the game has changed much over time, it continues to be a intense, enjoyable hobby. This article will give you some great golf tips that will help you the next time you head to the course.

TIP! Use your body for more power behind your swing. Amateurs often think that power comes from the arms alone.

By experimenting with different feels while on the driving range, you will have a better chance to find a stance that allows you to swing comfortably. There’s no stance that works for everybody. People of different heights, sexes or sizes feel more comfortable in slightly different positions. When you can identify and maintain the proper stance, your overall game will greatly improve.

TIP! One of the most important things to remember when playing golf is not to take it so seriously. Everyone makes mistakes and the ability to laugh at them will help you to learn from your flubs and relax while you play.

When you are golfing, consider ditching the golf cart and walking. This will exponentially increase the amount of exercise that you get on the course, and turn it into an extremely beneficial way to improve your health! Walking will also keep your muscles loose and warmed up, leaving you ready for every shot as you take it.

TIP! Golf clubs have a point known as the “sweet spot.” If the ball is hit at this point, it will fly true.

To help you decide on which golf clubs to purchase, you should consult with a golf pro. They can help you find the club that best suits you and will know about the newest available clubs.

TIP! When faced with a really long putt shot, concentrate on the speed you use to hit the ball. Rather than aiming right for the hole, aim for somewhere before the hole.

When first learning to play, it is best to get the correct grip on the club. Avoid the urge to squeeze the club as tightly as possible when hitting the ball. Instead of going for raw grip strength, go for a firm, but soft, grip. Hold the club as if you are holding a bird.

TIP! When teeing off, make sure the back edge of your leading foot is parallel to the ball. This is contrary to how you line up other shots, when the ball should be almost equally between your feet.

Put your entire body into your swing to give it force. 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. The ideal approach is to craft a swing that utilizes all your muscles in one fluid motion.

TIP! Develop a good position to improve your overall skills. The position you have usually dictates the distance your golf ball travels.

Place your left hand ahead when you address the ball while putting. Keep this position during your stroke to maintain proper form. This will help hold the club during your stroke and prevent the ball from jumping off the face of the club at contact.

TIP! Before purchasing used golf clubs, check the condition of the club heads. 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.

If you’re faced with a long putt, you need to focus your concentration to speed when hitting the ball. Try to hit a target in between your current location and the hole, rather than trying to get the ball in the hole using only one shot. You will greatly increase your chances for an easy short putt if don’t overshoot or undershoot your first one.

TIP! Make sure that you are holding your golf club correctly before you swing. Your thumbs should be pointing downward while the handle rests on your palms.

It is important to know the proper way to keep score when playing golf. Because golf scores are often used as a way of judging a player’s skill level, it’s important to understand them. When keeping score, every time you attempt to hit the ball is counted as a stroke. Your score at each hole is calculated as the number of strokes it takes for you to get your ball to the hole. Your goal is to land the ball with the least amount of strokes possible.

TIP! Using an unnatural stance will be detrimental to your game. Try addressing your ball without your club.

There is a reason that the game of golf has endured for generations. Practice everything you’ve learned here, so that you can amaze your golfing partners with your new skill level.

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 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.
