TIP! When you first start out playing golf, it is important you understand how to properly grip the club. A mistake made by many is gripping the club too tightly, thinking it will add weight to the club.

Visit a country club. You will see how nice the atmosphere is. If this seems like the sport for you, get started on the right foot with these helpful pointers.

TIP! You can test the effectiveness of your golf swing by wiggling your toes a bit. If you can move your feet very easily, then you have not aligned your body properly enough to take your shot.

You will eventually find the best stance for you. It’s crucial to have a good stance, but what stance works, depends on your overall size, height and gender. However, taking the time to find this ideal stance will do wonders for the rest of your game.

TIP! When putting the golf ball, hit the ball with the left hand in front of the ball. Putt the ball, keeping your hands steadily in this position as you follow through.

To help you decide on which golf clubs to purchase, you should consult with a golf pro. These pros will have up-to-date information regarding the newest clubs available. Also, they will be able to best determine which clubs will suit you well.

TIP! Concentrate on your swing speed if you have to contend with a long putt. 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.

Your body is important to golf. Your arms shouldn’t be the only source of strength; your whole body should be! Involve your body when you move the club instead of using only your arms. This will reduce strain on your arms and increase driving distance.

Entire Body

TIP! Knowing how to mark your scores is essential in the game of golf. Your score is what is usually used to judge your ability as a player.

Use your entire body to power 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. It’s better to use the entire body along with the motion from your club.

TIP! To get a strong swing going, you have to use all of your muscles, particularly your trunk and legs. Push down with your legs while you throw your body forward and through your club.

A common technique among professional golfers, though it sounds very whimsical, is the toe-wiggling exercise. If a golfer ready to swing is unable to wiggle their toes easily, then they are leaning in too much in the direction of the ball. Golfers should lean back until they feel some play in their feet to get proper posture.

TIP! When lining up on the tee, make sure that the ball is aligned with the heel of your forward foot. During any other swing, the golf ball should be almost dead center between your feet when you swing.

Your focus needs to be at 100% for your next shot. Don’t let other players’ or even your own good or bad shots effect the next one you take. Getting hung up on a mistake you’ve made or celebrating a great shot for too long can ruin the rest of your game. Good or bad, it is in the past, so keep it there by putting it from your mind.

TIP! When buying a golf club, you should get one that is custom-fitted for you. Your various dimensions, such as height and weight, will reflect differences in how the club should be shaped.

If you can, golf with good players and study their technique. You should always make the most of any opportunity that allows you to learn something from a seasoned golfer. You don’t have to be in the presence of a pro. Anyone who is better than you can help. Paying attention to the way they play will give you new ideas, and their presence may spur you to play stronger yourself.

A golf green is a great play to relax and pursue pleasure in life. Remember, Hunter S.

"Before I started your "Draw" System I had a slice. Since following your day by day instructions, I now hit the fairway much more often with a slight fade or draw when I get it right! As a result I have gone from hitting 220-230 yards to hitting 250-280 yards.

I found the instructions easy to follow. It brought me along at the right speed in learning the system correctly without rushing. The step by step system I found left you excited to want to learn that step so you could move on to the next.

It has improved my distance off the tee (a good 50 yards +) and helped me with my swing more importantly. Which has improved my whole game and as a result I hit straighter with more consistency. It has taken me to a new level in my golf game.

It was easy to follow learning at your own speed. It was almost like having a golf pro right there with you. Anytime you can improve at something you can always enjoy it better, especially when you see yourself improving from day to day. I am and would recommend this system to everyone who wants to improve their game."

The instructions are excellent. The photo's supporting the written word make it very easy to understand what one is meant to do. Well written. This is the best that I have seen in written form. The difference is that every move is explained in detail, with photos, and it is simple to follow.

I'm very happy I've bought this system - the best thing is that I can review my swing and identify the areas I need to correct. Well done - excellent material, I have referred other people to the course."
