Once you have a basic understanding of the type of equipment you should have and the basic rules of golf, it's time to start working on improving your golf game. Many people make the mistake of trying to swing a golf club like it's a baseball bat and it never works out in their best interest. There is a certain level of force a golfer must apply, but in all honesty, the club and your body create a lot of the force, not your arms.
If you want to be able to impress people and conquer the course with great skill, it's important to work on your swing until it's nearly flawless. As mentioned earlier in this book, no matter what kind of equipment you have, your game will always be messed up without a proper golf swing.
The next chapter will cover the basics of the golf swing and provide you with some tips that will help you improve your golf swing.
Improve your swing
Golf is very important when it comes to playing golf, especially if you want to be good at the game. Your golf swing can be considered the foundation of your golf game. Your skill level will never improve if you don't improve your foundation or your swing. Mastering the golf swing isn't something you can likely do overnight. It'll probably take a long time and you'll have to keep working on it even after you've mastered it to make sure it stays up to scratch. If you watch, you will notice that many golfers who are good at the game are constantly on the practice courses and working on their golf swings.
Here are some simple tips you might want to try in order to improve your golf swing.
Keep your hands down
You want to try to keep your hands in a low position while performing the golf swing. The reason for this is that keeping your hands down will cause the golf ball to go up in the distance rather than in the air. Keep in mind that some situations require you to push the ball high a short distance. But in most cases you want to be able to throw the ball far, especially when playing.
Use your body
As mentioned earlier, the force you use to hit the golf ball should come from your body, not your arms. using your
Weapons to generate swing force will result in reduced accuracy and reduced golf ball control.
Correct body posture
It is very important to have the correct stance when trying to make the golf swing. Your knees, feet, hips, shoulders, and forearms, as well as your eyes, should be parallel to your target or hole. You should stand with your knees at least shoulder-width apart to allow for smooth body movement. You then want to flare your target foot about twenty to forty degrees to allow your body to pivot towards your target as you swing. You want to make sure your back foot is square or ninety degrees to the target. Make sure that foot is slightly open to ensure your body can perform the correct hip rotation during the downward swing. People will have differences in how open their feet are, as it will depend on your flexibility and how fast you can turn your body.
Ball stance
It is very important that you know where to place the ball before you swing. Different clubs require different placements closer to or further from the target foot. For example, drivers will be positioned close to the target foot while wedges will be farther from the target foot and closer to the center of the body. Short irons should be played in the midsection of your stance and should not be closer to either foot. These types of racquets should swing at a very steep angle and are good when the balls have an opening in front of them. Goal irons should be placed one ball to the target foot
of the Center. These clubs have a shorter stroke and do not need to be used as sharp. When using long irons, you need to set the ball two balls towards the target foot from the center. The ball should also hit the bottom of the swing arc and there should be very little opening.
Put your weight on the balls of your feet
To get a good golf swing, you will need to learn how to distribute your weight over the balls of your feet and your heels and toes. When using a short iron, you want 60% of your weight to be on your target foot. You want to bend your knees slightly and put all the weight on the balls of your feet as this will improve your balance and result in a much better golf swing.
Much of your golf swing will come down to hitting the driving and practicing fields. However, if you apply some of these tips, you will definitely start seeing improvements in no time.
