TIP! A simple toe-wiggling exercise can reveal potential faults in a golfing stance. If wiggling your toes is hard to do when you swing, it will show they are leaning too far into the ball.

If you are looking forward to taking up a new sport, why not give golf a try? Golf lets you spend time with your friends, get some exercise, and enjoy the fresh air. Remember that a fully engaged game of golf involves the effort and focus of both your mind and body; involve only one and your game will suffer. The more you know about the game of golf, the more enjoyable it will become. Read on for helpful tips to use in your game.

TIP! Every club contains a “sweet spot,” which is where the face will strike the ball with greatest accuracy. Pracitce using your clubs until you become familiar with the “sweet spot” of each one.

When you swing a golf club, put your whole body into it. Your body is the power source, not only your arms. Your full body should be involved in the club movement. By putting your whole body into your swing, not only you will take some of the stress off of your arms, your shot will be propelled further.

TIP! During a putt, position your left hand so that it’s in front of the ball when you address it. When you are swinging the club do your best to hold this position.

The first step to mastering the game of golf is the correct grip of the club. A common mistake many players make is thinking that a harder club grip means they can power the ball farther down the fairway. You should instead grip the club soft and firm. Hold your club similar to how you would a bird.

TIP! Therefore, you should stretch prior to playing, and always drink lots of water. Your strength, balance, and many other physical factors contribute to your success at golf.

For increased power in your golf swing, focus on involving your whole body in the swing. Beginning golfers rely too much on their arms for swinging power, which causes them not to hit all that far. It’s better to use the entire body along with the motion from your club.

TIP! With the game of golf, mental preparation is equally as important as physical preparation. Put all other stresses in your life out of mind and focus on the game.

There is an exercise utilizing your toes that could point out issues in the way you are standing while playing golf. If a golfer ready to swing is unable to wiggle their toes easily, then they are leaning in too much in the direction of the ball. Make sure your weight is on the balls of your feet to give yourself the proper stance.

TIP! Before purchasing a used club, check its head. If a club is worn out, you can tell by looking at the head.

A great tip for putting is when you address the ball, your left hand needs to be in front of the ball. Attempt to maintain the position for the duration of your swing. This will minimize the chance the ball will skip off the face of your club at impact, and makes it easier to maintain control of your stroke.

TIP! Despite what most people say, use the same position for the ball for each and every one of your shots. This helps solidify your stance, and helps it be consistent.

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.

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."
