Want To Improve Your Golf Game? Try These Tips Updated for 2023

Updated: September 21, 2023

TIP! Your body is important to golf. Your entire body–not just the arms–should be viewed as a major source of power.

Don’t know much about golf? Does the game confuse you or seem plain boring? It is time you get some information about golf so you can fully understand the sport. Read this article to learn about what you should know to make golf a game you can play with confidence.

TIP! Use your body, and channel energy to get a good swing. Beginners often mistakenly believe that the arms power the swing, but using the arms only leads to a low-power, unbalanced swing.

Practicing with slightly different stances will help you learn the best way to stand. Based on a variety of physical attributes, finding your proper stance may look much different than the best stance for other golfers you play with. Knowing the best stance can better your game.

TIP! Wiggling the toes may offer insight into problems with one’s golf stance. The golfer is leaning too close into the ball if it’s hard to wiggle the toes.

A great way to get more exercise out on the course is to forgo the electric cart and instead opt to walk. You will get more exercise, which in turn is great for your health! If you walk, your muscles will be more flexible than if you ride. Flexibility helps your golf swing and the accuracy of your shots.

TIP! Wiggling your toes can tell you much about your posture as you are getting ready to take a golf swing. If your toes wiggle freely, your posture may be tilted too far back.

The first step to mastering the game of golf is the correct grip of the club. Quite a few people correlate a hard grip with being able to hit a ball further. Instead of doing this, try using a grip which is supple but firm. One popular piece of advice given by instructors across the country is to envision that you are trying to keep hold on bird.

TIP! If you have to putt a ball across a large green, pay special attention to the speed of your putt. As opposed to aiming at the hole, look at the putt and shoot for a target.

A stance can be corrected with an easy toe-wiggling routine. Anyone who is leaning inward too far will have difficulty wiggling their toes. Proper posture is incredibly important when swinging. To find the right posture, try gently leaning back until your feet feel comfortable and aligned.

TIP! So make sure you are properly hydrated, and before you tee off, make sure you properly warm up. The better shape your body is in, the better your game will be.

One good suggestion where golf is concerned is to not let yourself get too serious over the game. Mistakes in golf are common, and laughing at yours will allow you to learn from them and stay relaxed.

Sweet Spot

TIP! In golf, being in a positive, competitive mental state is of equal importance as being prepared physically. Dismiss your other mental problems so you can keep your mind on your game.

Look for the “sweet spot” of your golf club. This refers to a point on the club that should be ideally meeting the ball for the most accuracy and speed. Work with each of your clubs to find this “sweet spot.” Once you do, contact the ball with the club’s sweet spot right at the end of your downswing.

TIP! Prior to your next golf club purchase, consider going to a golf shop equipped to measure you for custom fitting. Every person has a different weight, height and body structure, so a golf club that works exceptionally well for one player, may be difficult for another player to use.

When addressing each putt, it is important to have your hands slightly ahead of the line between your head and the ball. Maintain this position while you complete your swing. This will help you maintain the appropriate grip on the club during your stroke, and will make it less likely that the ball will dart off of the face of the club during contact.

TIP! If you assume an unnatural stance, you could actually wreck your swing. Try to address the ball without using a club.

As stated in the beginning of this article, golf can be quite confusing if you have never played before. You now have the information that you need about golf. Judge the sport on your own terms and give it a try, to see if this is a sport that you could get into!

Don’t just take our word for it!

"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."

Although the system is meant to improve your draw, in fact it has improved other areas of my game e.g. my setup and accuracy. I am now consistently hitting the ball cleanly and going in the direction I want it to. I think these are the benefits of the various drills and exercises you suggested.

The "Draw" System has narrowed the exercise and search for improving my game because everything is presented in a neat package without having to search all of them individually.

Being new to the game I did wonder why certain drills and exercises were recommended. In the end I did find out they were great. The instructions are explained very simply and easy to follow but as I said I did wonder initially what they had to do with trying to draw the ball. The answers came in the end.

I used to slice the ball badly before but now I can hit it straight or if it goes right it is not as bad as before, at least it still stays on the fairway. It is a great feeling to see that ball stay on the fairway."
