TIP! To get a better workout and save money, walk the golf course, instead of using a golf cart. This turns your golf outing into an exercise outing, as well, which will do wonders for your health if you golf every week.

There are millions of us who enjoy and obsess over golf, and many who constantly search for means of improving play. One easy way to get better is by perusing the tips in this article.

TIP! Correctly grip the club when you first learn to play golf is vital. Beginners often grip the club too hard, thinking that they will hit the ball further that way.

Your entire body can benefit you in a game of golf. Use your entire body to generate the power for your game, not just your arms and legs. Your entire body needs to be involved in moving your club. You are then more likely to hit the ball farther without swinging your arms as forcefully.

TIP! Each golf club in existence has it’s own “sweet spot.” When you hit your ball squarely with the sweet spot on the face of the club, your ball takes off with perfect accuracy.

One of the first things you will want to address when learning how to play golf is your grip. A lot of beginners grip their club harder when they wish to send the ball further. Instead of going for raw grip strength, go for a firm, but soft, grip. Hold the club like you would hold a bird.

TIP! It is crucial that you maintain all of your minds focus on the shot that you will be making the next time it is your turn to swing. Don’t think about your past shots or the water hazard you’re going to have to face; don’t get distracted from the very next shot that’s up.

Regarding the game of golf, try not to obsess over it. Mistakes will happen and you need to have the ability to laugh about them or about yourself, and this will lead to you relaxing, which will help you overcome the mistakes.

TIP! Whenever you are staring down a long putt, make sure to focus first on the speed necessary to get close to the hole. Choose an intermediate target rather than the hole.

It is crucial that you maintain all of your minds focus on the shot that you will be making the next time it is your turn to swing. Thinking about a previous success or mistake, or worrying about the next hole, will make you lose your concentration on the shot you need to make right now. Dwelling on past mistakes will only beget more of them, so let them go and move on.

TIP! So you need to drink lots of water and do your stretches before you play. Staying in good shape can benefit your golf game directly.

When putting the golf ball, hit the ball with the left hand in front of the ball. You also want to do your best to maintain this position and form while you swing your club. If you do not incorporate this technique, you run the risk of having the ball bounce off of the club, greatly reducing your chances for an accurate putt.

TIP! A good swing is backed by the strength and motion of the whole body as rooted in your core and legs. While progressing through with a swing, picture your body being a whip, then push your legs against the dirt below your feet, giving them power to assist in the swing.

If you have to putt a ball across a large green, pay special attention to the speed of your putt. Choose an intermediate target rather than the hole. This helps you to get the current putt distance just right so that the next one can be a short shot.

TIP! A proper position is very important when trying to become better at golf. The position that you are in usually dictates how far the golf ball will travel.

Don’t get used to trying to assume unnatural stances. Practice concentrating on the ball without using a club. Flex your knees, bend your waist slightly, let your arms down in a natural way. When you clap your hands, hold them there. All these elements comprise natural positioning, and if you feel discomfort, you are probably compensating for something too much.

TIP! When buying used golf clubs, carefully examine the club head. Clubs which have been used profusely usually have a worn, shiny spot.

Learning how to approach your golf swing is exactly what you accomplished when you read those tips. This accomplishment will be reflected in the strength and accuracy of your shots the next time you are on the course. Just apply them soon while fresh in your mind, and the results will show themselves on your scorecard.

"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."

Testimonial

"I used to slice a lot, but in the past two weeks using your "Draw" System, I have been drawing my shots more consistently now. It really stopped me from slicing. I can say, my biggest benefits with this "Draw" System is gaining more yardage and consistency. It really did increase my distance by at least 40 to 50 yards longer. And it really has improved my game and lowered my handicap.

I really like the illustrations - step by step drills. How it is broken up day by day as you practice. It teaches you from the very beginning and advances its way to your finish swing. I fully recommend this system 100% to all people who really want to improve their game. If it's from curing your slice, gaining more yards, or lowering your handicap. I say this "Draw" System is worth more that what it is selling for. Why spend a lot of money seeing a golf professional, when you can have the best instructions for less.

I really am lucky to have found this "Draw" System. If not for this system, I would have spent a lot of money seeing a golf professional or spending money on all those training aids advertised on TV. With much Aloha to you for your ingenious in bringing The "Draw" System to lots of golfers out there still struggling.

I really love playing golf now with my friends which I really impress them. I would like to say, thank you again to you for making The "Draw" System in such details. I now really enjoy playing the game of golf."
