The game of golf is not like learning to ride a bicycle where once you know it, you’ve got it and never forget it. Just when you think you are on top of your game, you are not. One day you are playing fabulously and the next day you fail miserably! Well help is here, so read on for some great tips and advice on how to take some of the frustration out of this great game of golf!
It is important to not talk on your cell phone while you are golfing. Outside conversations, ringing phones and distracted golfers can lead to a very poor round of golf. It is possible to establish a no-cell phone policy with the other golfers you are golfing with so that you can all stay focused and have fun.
Improve your short game by visiting some three-par golf courses in your area. Many golfers are too focused on taking that long perfect drive off the tee and neglect to put enough effort into improving their short game. Three-par golf courses can be even more challenging than regular golf courses. If you don’t make it onto the putting green with your drive, then you either have to chip the ball in for a birdie or make your putt on the first attempt in order to make par. Improving your short game can drastically reduce your handicap.
If you are planning a golf vacation for a group of people, be sure to choose a golfing destination that offers a variety of courses. By doing this, everyone in your group will be able to match up with a course that suits his or her abilities. That will make for a happy golf vacation experience.
If you try to be on-plane at the top of your golf swing, you will be able to guarantee a solid ball strike as well as have much greater accuracy. Place your forearm so that it is parallel to you spine. Also make sure to rotate your shoulders into the back swing.
Trick your mind so that you can focus for a better game. Many players always play from the same spot on the tee. Try playing from the opposite side. People get comfortable with what they know. So, when you switch sides of the tee, it forces you to focus on something new and gives you a different perspective on the hole.
To prepare for a golf tournament, the day before you should get some light exercise, such as swimming. Get a massage or spend the evening in your massage chair relaxing. Turn in early. The next day, begin your day with stretching and a light jog or walk. Shower, focus and head out to win your tournament.
Hopefully, you have learned a few new tricks to kick your golf game up a notch or two. Write these tips down and tuck them in with your clubs to take with you the next time you go out for a round and you will find yourself getting better with each swing and loving the game of golf even more!
