TIP! The beginning golfer needs to learn the right way to grip a club. People often try to grab the golf club too hard, they think the ball will go much further.

Whether you are a seasoned golfer or a terminology challenged beginner, it matters not. There are plenty of challenges, as well as opportunities for any golf player, no matter how skilled. Before you tee off, take a look at the advice in this article to gain some good insight into the world of golf.

Consult a professional if you’re thinking about buying new golf clubs. Golf professionals have the knowledge and experience to help you choose clubs that suit you.

TIP! To check your stance, wiggle your toes. If wiggling the toes is difficult when the golfer prepares to swing, it indicates that he or she is leaning too far in towards the ball.

Having a fit body is key to playing a great game of golf. Your entire body is needed to truly power your shots. Involve your body when you move the club instead of using only your arms. This allows you to increase your distance without placing unnecessary strain on your arms.

TIP! Don’t take golf too seriously. Try to remember that it’s just a game.

One way you can ascertain if you potentially have faults in your golf stance is to utilize an easy toe-wiggling exercise. If the golfer finds this act difficult as he prepares to swing, he is leaning unreasonably forward and into the ball. Proper posture is incredibly important when swinging. To find the right posture, try gently leaning back until your feet feel comfortable and aligned.

Sweet Spot

TIP! Make sure that you line your feet up correctly. This is probably the most practical way to improve swing accuracy.

There is a “sweet spot” on every golf club, which is where you always want to hit the ball to get the best accuracy. To locate the sweet spot on each club, take your clubs to the driving range for some practice, and remember, you need to hit the golf ball at the lowest point in your downswing.

TIP! Prior to your next golf club purchase, consider going to a golf shop equipped to measure you for custom fitting. This will make the club suit your body type exactly.

Make sure that you maintain 100% of your focus on your next shot. Try to free your mind of past plays or hazards that lay ahead of you, and just focus on the moment at hand. Dwelling on past mistakes will only beget more of them, so let them go and move on.

TIP! Before you purchase a pre-owned club, you should first carefully inspect the club head. You will be able to easily notice wear and tear on clubs that have had a lot of use in the past.

Address the ball by having your left hand in front of it when you putt. Keep this position while you swing. The ball will not jump off when contact occurs and you will be able to hold your stroke more efficiently.

TIP! Make sure you position yourself well and put yourself behind your golf ball so that you can look ahead and see where the ball needs to go. While doing this, you will also want to take into consideration conditions, such as the direction and force of any present wind.

When faced with a long putt, concentrate on how fast you will hit the ball. It is probably better to not actually aim at the hole, but to instead putt towards a target someplace in between the hole and you. This technique will increase the chances that your second putt will be short, and ensure that you don’t have a putt that is too long or short.

TIP! Take a deep breath before you swing at the golf ball. This will relieve the tension in your body and help you concentrate on hitting your next shot.

The true power for a swing comes from using the entire body, including leg and trunk muscles. Instead of thinking that you need to power through the swing using the muscles of your arms, allow your momentum from your lower core to whip the club through the ball.

TIP! It’s important to keep your eye squarely on the ball. This principle is true of many sports, but it particularly plays out well in golfing.

Now that you have taken the initiative to learn something new about the sport of golf, you can impress your golfing buddies (or that gorgeous pro shop attendant) with the information you’ve just picked up. Look for new ways to apply these skills to your current game, to make the game even more challenging and engaging.

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.

"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."
