TIP! By experimenting, you can find the best way to stand while playing. The key is proper stance, but it isn’t the same for everyone.

Golf is really one of the most enjoyable recreational activities available. Read this article to find out how you can develop a much better game that leads to success on the course.

TIP! Don’t use a golf cart to go from one hole to another. Walk instead.

When you are golfing, consider ditching the golf cart and walking. This turns your golf outing into an exercise outing, as well, which will do wonders for your health if you golf every week. Walking also keeps you loose and warms up your muscles.

TIP! Correctly grip the club when you first learn to play golf is vital. A majority of people grip their club too tightly, hoping that this will help them hit the ball further.

Before you invest in a new set of clubs, ask your course’s resident golf pro what they recommend. Golf professionals have the knowledge and experience to help you choose clubs that suit you.

Sweet Spot

TIP! Knowing how to keep track of your score is a crucial element of playing golf. You should know this because your reputation as a player is based on your score.

Each one of your clubs has the ideal spot from which optimal shots can be produced, this is known as the “sweet spot”. 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! To maximize swing strength, you need to involve your whole body, from your torso all the way down to your legs. Use your legs to power your swing and swing your body in a whip-like motion.

Always focus all of your concentration on the next shot. Thinking about a previous success or mistake, or worrying about the next hole, will make you lose your concentration on the shot you need to make right now. Dwelling on past errors will just cause you to make more errors, so just focus on the present.

Before you go to play stretch and drink a lot of water, for this reason. The better shape your body is in, the better your game will be.

TIP! For a drive, you should stand so that your front foot lines up with the golf ball. For other swings, position yourself so that the golf ball is evenly between your feet.

Mental preparation is as important as physical preparation in a golf game. Leave all the stress in your life elsewhere for just a while and concentrate on the game at hand.

TIP! A proper position is very important when trying to become better at golf. Your position can influence how far the ball goes.

Check your grip on the club before you make your swing. The grip of the club should be snugly in your palms, with both thumbs aiming toward the clubhead. Both hands will be touching each other on the club. To hit the golf ball further, try to choke up the club.

TIP! When playing golf, you should be both mentally and physically prepared. Focus on playing golf and clear your mind of all stress.

Avoid using an unnatural stance. Try to address the ball without using a club. Stand up while flexing your knees, bend them slightly at your waist and have your arms drop right on your front. Clap and hold your hands together. You should feel completely comfortable while in this position. If you feel tight or uncomfortable, relax your body more or shift your weight.

TIP! If you are considering purchases used golf clubs, always make sure to examine the head of the clubs. A good indicator that a club is past its prime is if you notice an worn-out spot on the head.

Given what you have just read in this article, you likely have more than one idea in mind about just how you can alter and improve your golf game. The way to playing better golf is through learning new tips and then practicing what you learned, either at the driving range or out on the golf course. Keep at it, and soon you will surprise all your golfing buddies with all the new skills you have learned.

"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."
