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.

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."

"The "Draw" System has improved my consistency. I am able to keep my drives on the fairway with more distance which makes my second shot easier while approaching the green.

The biggest benefits The "Draw" System has done for my game is to increase distance and accuracy with all shots. The "Draw" System has increased my distance on all shots by 15 to 30 yards! Thirty yards with the driver all the way down to 15 with the sand wedge.

What I liked the best about The "Draw" System is that it works! I have tried all types of gadgets and read tips from all different magazines as well as taken lessons. None of them worked. Not until I found The "Draw" System.

I have seen different systems which claim to fix your golf slice but none of these have worked for me. The "Draw" System works! In it are easy to follow instructions and there are very good pictures for a visual explanation to go along with the print.

I enjoy playing golf more since completing The "Draw" System because I can predict where my shots are going instead of wondering where my shots will end up. Thank You!!!"
