What You Should Do To Start Golfing Better Updated for 2024

Updated: November 28, 2024

TIP! It’s always best to walk the golf course, instead of using a golf cart to get around. You’ll get an excellent workout as you complete the course, and golfing can truly become an effective part of your physical fitness routine.

If you’re searching for a new hobby, why not have a look at golf? Golf lets you spend time with your friends, get some exercise, and enjoy the fresh air. Golfing not only allows one to work out the body but the game also strengthens one’s ability to focus mentally. Use the useful strategies presented here and watch golf become your new favorite pastime.

TIP! Consult a professional if you’re thinking about buying new golf clubs. This is important because they will know what type of club suits you the best and, should have the information on all of the latest clubs available.

By experimenting with different feels while on the driving range, you will have a better chance to find a stance that allows you to swing comfortably. Finding a good stance is essential, but several variables, including body type, height, and gender can affect which stance is best. Once you find the right stance, you will immediately notice the benefit in your swing.

TIP! Make sure that you are holding the club correctly when you are a beginner. One common mistake is thinking that gripping the club harder will cause the ball to be hit further.

For beginner golfers, learning to grip the club properly is key. New golfers often mistakenly grip the club tightly in hopes they will be able to hit the ball harder. Instead of doing this, try using a grip which is supple but firm. Imagine that you are cradling a wounded bird and use the same care to grip the club.

TIP! Don’t just use your arms and back for power when swinging a golf club. Involve your whole body in the fun to improve the effectiveness of your swing.

To have a great swing, you must develop all your body strength to put behind it. Inexperienced golfers often mistakenly believe that power should come only from the arms. However, unless you use your entire body, your swing will be weak. Moving your whole body will transfer the strength and motion from your legs and torso through to your ball.

TIP! Therefore, you should stretch prior to playing, and always drink lots of water. Taking care of yourself is always important, but it can also help you improve your game.

Wiggling your toes will help to get a better sense of your posture as you prepare to swing your golf club. If you have no trouble moving your feet, then you need to reduce the angle at which you are leaning relative to the ball. The proper position would be to lean into the golf ball, allowing your feet to move slightly, but not overly much.

Sweet Spot

TIP! Always start each swing with your feet in proper alignment. This is possibly one of the greatest golf tips.

Golf clubs have a point known as the “sweet spot.” If the ball is hit at this point, it will fly true. Clubs are each individuals, and the “sweet spot” varies from club to club. You must practice with your set, and find the “sweet spot” for each club to improve the accuracy of your game.

TIP! You probably want to bring a nice healthy snack to fuel your body and mind while you’re on the course. Golf’s a game that can make you very tired both mentally and physically.

Focus on how you will proceed with the next shot. You should not be distracted by the previous shot or anything else going on around you. Worrying about previous mistakes will mess up your swing, so move on.

TIP! Consider getting a custom fit for a golf club before you purchase one. Your various dimensions, such as height and weight, will reflect differences in how the club should be shaped.

Make sure your left hand is actually ahead of your ball when you putt. Hold this position as you swing the club, maintaining it throughout your stroke. This will allow you to firmly grasp the club during the stroke and keep the ball from skipping off the club’s face at contact.

TIP! To maximize your shot, you always want to ensure that prior to swinging, your hold on the club is correct. Try to make sure that the handle rests on the palm of your hand with your thumbs facing down.

As stated above, golf is a great sport to get both physical and mental exercise while hanging out with friends outdoors. So, if you are looking forward to taking up an engaging new sport, look no further. These easy tips will help you start playing golf and be on your way to a happier, healthier you.

Don’t just take our word for it!

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."

Testimonial

"Before I started your "Draw" System I had a slice. Since following your day by day instructions, I now hit the fairway much more often with a slight fade or draw when I get it right! As a result I have gone from hitting 220-230 yards to hitting 250-280 yards.

I found the instructions easy to follow. It brought me along at the right speed in learning the system correctly without rushing. The step by step system I found left you excited to want to learn that step so you could move on to the next.

It has improved my distance off the tee (a good 50 yards +) and helped me with my swing more importantly. Which has improved my whole game and as a result I hit straighter with more consistency. It has taken me to a new level in my golf game.

It was easy to follow learning at your own speed. It was almost like having a golf pro right there with you. Anytime you can improve at something you can always enjoy it better, especially when you see yourself improving from day to day. I am and would recommend this system to everyone who wants to improve their game."
