Simple Golf Swing Tips

Filed under: Amateur Sports,Articles about Sports,Golf,Outdoors,Society and Sports — Tags: , — Tom Watts @ 4:35 am

The ability to repeat a simple golf swing consistently is a distant dream for most golfers. Hacks and slashes are usually the order of the day around most courses, no matter what part of the world you live in. Getting the basics right is the first step to improvement.

A key element to better golf that can be applied to see an immediate improvement in your golf swing, is to keep your head still and your eyes on the ball. If you can keep your head still, there is a good chance the rest of your body is following suit, which will allow your torso to turn around a straight spine.

To do this keep focusing on the ball and make a slow full shoulder turn, the shoulder needs to able to come under the chin and for this to happen your chin needs to be raised up. Try fitting a fist in the gap between chest and chin when practising your set up, this is about the right distance between the two. It stops the shoulder moving the head in the turn and limiting its movement. Tucking your chin into your chest is a common fault. Try incorporating lifting your chin off your chest as part of a pre-shot routine until becomes second nature.

As a way of making sure you keep your eyes on the ball, you should strive to see the club impact the ball, this will ensure you do not lift your head out of the shot early. If you top the ball alot, this could be your problem.

Improving Putting Using An Indoor Putting Mat

No matter which putting method that you use, conventional, left hand low, or the claw you can benefit from an indoor putting mat.

Since most of us do not have enough hours in the day, an indoor putting mat allows you to practice at any time of day and during any type of weather condition. As you use your indoor putting mat, you will be able to focus on the fundamentals of your putting stroke without feeling any pressure of making a putt.

You can find indoor putting mats and putting greens in various lengths and sizes. They also come with slopes, curves, and hazards. Lengths usually vary from about three to fifteen feet long. Most of the cup sizes are a little smaller than the size of the cup on the golf course green. But this is good because it will help to sharpen your putting skills. Practicing with a putting mat should make the regulation cup on the golf course appear larger. Most of these putting mats will provide you the feel of putting on a well groomed green.

Most artificial putting mats are portable. You can roll them up for storage, placing them in your car, and even carry them on an airplane. A number of the putting mats even have an automatic ball return.

Another great aspect of these putting greens is the ability to adjust them. You can usually adjust the length, degree of break, pitch, and even the elevation. Do not worry if you are left handed because most of the mats can be used by right handed and left handed golfers.

After you receive your putting mat it is time to start your practicing. You need to practice, practice, practice to improve your putting skills and reduce the number of putts per round.

Do not forget that these practice putting mats are an excellent gift for anyone who loves the game of golf and wants to practice their putting away from the green.

Now on the other hand, if you are considering getting a used golf club that you have to pay for, this is another story.

This is not to say that you should never think about getting a used junior golf clubs, however there are a few aspects that you are going to need to take into consideration before you are willing to shell out any money for a golf club that has already been used.

Size of Golf Club

The first issue that you are going to want to be concerned with when looking at a used golf club is the size. After all, a taller man is going to need a very differently sized club than a smaller statured woman, and so you need to make sure that the club is going to be the right size for you before you decide to buy it.

Course golf rules don’t apply only to rules of play, but may also dictate rules of behavior for on the grounds of the golf course. Always check with the club house before starting your round of golf to make sure there aren’t any course golf rules that you will need to pay attention to. You may also find course golf rules printed on the score card or posted in an accessible area such as the locker room or on the golf cart.A few course golf rules specifically apply to the use of a golf cart. If you chose to rent a golf cart or bring one you own to the course for your round of golf, be sure to pay heed to use restrictions.
