Amazing Golf Tips That Will Knock Strokes off Your Game

Posted by Brian Miller on February 15th, 2016

Golf can be a very enjoyable game. It gets you outside in the fresh air alone, or with good friends, and gives you some exercise. Whether you play competitively or just for fun, it’s great to be good at the game. The tips in the following article will allow you to play a stronger game of golf.   

Golf is supposed to be a relaxing game. So why are your experiences at the golf course or the driving range so frustrating? If you're not able to relax and enjoy yourself as you play golf, you may need to change the way you play your game. Here are some tips that may help.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to consider taking lessons. This may benefit you greatly because a good teacher will be able to spot ways that you can improve your game and point out things that you might not have realized on your own. There is always room to improve and grow.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to be sure that you are using your full body when you are trying to add more power to your shot. This is important because if you try to use arm or wrist strength, you will throw off the accuracy of your shot.

When you swing a golf club, put your whole body into it. The power of your swing is created through the use of your entire body. Your body should be fully involved in moving the club. This will help by having less stress on your arms and you will gain more distance with your strike. Try using an electric trolley to get all your clubs around easily on your next round of golf.

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to try to aim for a better score than you believe is attainable. This is a great brain trick that will help you in completing your realistic goals. Take the distance that you wish to hit the ball off the tee and add 10% to it. Even if you come short of that goal, you will still be happy with your results.

When playing a game of golf you should be sure that you have either a ball marker or a coin to mark your ball's position when multiple people are putting on the green. The same "furthest away goes first" rule applies to putting, and you want to make sure that your ball is not an obstacle for other players.

Remember, accuracy is so much more important than power, this is why some 80 year-olds can out drive 20 year-olds. Practice with hitting the ball consistently in almost the same spot on the club. This is easy to say or instruct but difficult to do. Simply apply some chap-stick or Vaseline to the head of your club and swing. The ball will leave an imprint on the club showing you where the ball was struck. However, don't use this during a game with friends as this could be considered cheating in a game because it also corrects slices. Next time you hit the golf course, try using the  remote control caddie.

As you take your driving shot, your front heel should be in line with your ball. For other swings, the ball should be consistently placed close to equal distance between your left foot and right foot. When on a slope, you may have to adjust where the ball sits.

Are there some tall trees with thick leaves in your way? Do you want to hit below them? You can easily do this. First, the lower the number the club, the less loft you will get with that club. Secondly, if you close your club face you will decrease the angle and the loft. Careful though! Closing your club face can also cause you to slice the ball.

When you finish a game of golf, you should feel refreshed, not stressed or irritated. The advice in this article will help make golf feel like the relaxing sport it should be. The next time you head out to play, use our tips, take a deep breath, and be sure to enjoy yourself.

This article was meant to give you great tips on playing a better golf game but also to allow you to enjoy your next time on the green even more. It can be a lot more fun to play at a competitive level. You may still want to seek outside help to assist you with Electric Trolleys or choosing Remote Control Caddie, but do not neglect to use what you have just learned here as well.
