Tips On How To Be A Much More Efficient Golfer Updated for 2024

Updated: September 2, 2024

For some people, golf can be the best recreational activity. Read this article to get some suggestions for improving your game and becoming successful at golf.

TIP! One of the first things you will want to address when learning how to play golf is your grip. Beginners often grip the club too hard, thinking that they will hit the ball further that way.

When you swing a golf club, put your whole body into it. To really hit a golf ball far, you need to use your entire body instead of only your arms. A great swing utilizes nearly every muscle of the body in order to place the club in optimum position. Not only will you be able to hit the ball further, but it will also alleviate your arms from doing all the work, putting less stress on your whole body.

Entire Body

TIP! You may hear the term “sweet spot” when discussing golf clubs. This is the area on the club face that reaps the best results when striking the ball.

Use the entire body for power when swinging the golf club. 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. In fact, the best swings incorporate the entire body as the club is moved forward.

TIP! When preparing for a long putt, it is important to focus on the speed of your swing and the velocity of the ball itself. Choose an intermediate target rather than the hole.

If you are faced with a very long putt, you should devote most of your concentration to the speed with which you hit the ball. As opposed to aiming at the hole, look at the putt and shoot for a target. This will give you the best chance of success for your putt.

TIP! Don’t angle the face of your club when driving. The ball will travel on a straight line if you get this right.

If it’s possible for you to do, play with better players than yourself and be mindful of their techniques. You should always make the most of any opportunity that allows you to learn something from a seasoned golfer. You don’t even have to play with the person you’re shadowing to learn from him. Sometimes, just spending time with him helps your game. Just watching a good player carefully can help you learn strategies you might never have thought of on your own, which will improve your play.

TIP! It is important to pay attention to the height of your tee when you are first learning to golf. Your drive will suffer if your tee isn’t at the proper height.

Your feet must be lined up in the correct way. This is probably the most practical way to improve swing accuracy. Put your feet at a 90 degree angle to the line along which you intend the ball to fly. One common way to make sure your feet are in alignment with where you want to hit the ball is to lay your club in a way that it is touching the toes on both your feet.

TIP! Don’t stiffen your body when you are about to swing your club. This is a common problem that many golfers need to solve to get better.

Now that you’ve read this article, you are probably itching to try out the new strategies you learned. If you want to succeed, you need to keep looking for new ideas and methods you can use to craft a personalized strategy that will amaze the competition.

"I have picked up golf seriously at the age of 43. The "Draw" System has enabled me to understand what goes wrong with what I do to a golf ball and make corrections. Having this knowledge has me playing with a 19 handicap after only playing for a short while. It helped me understand the game better.

When I started playing my shots landed anywhere except where I was aiming. I am now getting my shots to go where I am aiming more regularly. Just yesterday, I hit a 141-yard shots on a par 3 and it landed 6 feet away from the hole. Three months ago that would never have happened.

The instructions and the pictures are wonderful. The instructions are concise and descriptive. Combined with the pictures, it promotes easy understanding. The pictures help the most."

"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."
