It does not matter if you are an amateur that confuses birdies for pigeons or an expert, long-time golfer. The fact is that golf is a game that requires practice and technical skill, which keeps players of all levels interested. Before you play another round, read on for some easy ways to improve your skill and your score.
One of the most important things to remember when playing golf is not to take it so seriously. Mistakes will happen and you need to have the ability to laugh about them or about yourself, and this will lead to you relaxing, which will help you overcome the mistakes.
Weet Spot
There is a particular spot on a club that, when it hits the ball with a well-aimed swing, produces the most accurate shot. Golfers call this the “sweet spot”. 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.
When faced with a long putt, concentrate on how fast you will hit the ball. Don’t aim for the hole, instead aim for a point between yourself and your goal which lies on the way to the hole. Not overshooting or undershooting gives you the advantage of a second putt that is much shorter.
Line your feet up properly. This is possibly one of the greatest golf tips. Place your feet in a perpendicular stance to whichever direction you wish the ball to fly in. To make sure you are doing this, place your club so that it is touching your toes; you want the end of your club to face the way the ball will go.
Carry a snack which is high in protein on the course with you. Golf is a game both physically and mentally exhausting. You can get some extra protein from the snacks and you will be sharper and less tired throughout your golf game.
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.
