Play Better Golf Now

Because golf is in many ways a man’s sport, there is a certain macho aspect to it. Men appreciate other men who hit the ball long and hard and straight and don’t really pay much attention to the players who use finesse and guile to get the ball in the hole. They think better of a player who drives 300 yards than they do someone who shoots 70. That’s just the way it is. 

If you want to be one of the guys who drives it 300 yards, then you have to increase your golf swing speed – there is just no way about it. But, that doesn’t mean that you have to go in hyper-mode throughout your entire swing. If you watch any of the pro golfers, their backswing is not fast, it is slow and deliberate, but they accelerate through the swing at such a speed that you can hear the club whip through the air. When you watch their swing in slow motion, you can actually see their club arcing, as the force bends the shaft. 

Your golf swing speed in part determines the flight of your ball. However, that doesn’t mean that the guy with the fastest swing will hit it the furthest! There is much more to it than that. You have to be able to make perfect contact with the ball, hitting it on the sweet spot and making contact with just the right part of the club. Any variation and you will not be successful. 

Golf swing speed can be measured in most of the larger sporting goods stores. They will be able to measure your swing speed at the fastest point, which should be just when you make contact. From that information, you should be able to determine the type of shafts and balls you should play.

If you’re looking to improve your golf game, you might start at the one point where your body connects with the club—your grip. A good golfer becomes one with the club; the club and his body swing together as if they are a single well-oiled machine. A good grip, therefore, is critical to a good game. The following is a selection of golf grip tips that may prove helpful:

Establishing your grip. Open your hand, palm-up, and lay the club across it diagonally so that the top-end of the club rests on the base of your little finger and the head-end of the club rests just before the top knuckle of your index finger.

Remember to hold the club in your fingers. Avoid the common problem of a weak lead hand.  Holding the club in the palm decreases the amount of wrist action available to you. And since wrist-hing is a source of power in your swing, gripping the club too much in your palm will cost you power and may lead you to slice the shot.

Golf is great, and everyone is playing it—even Hollywood starlets. Not only can golf be a lot of fun, but it can also be an important way to make business connections and network with like-minded people. But in order for it to be either of these things, you have to be good at it. It’s not fun to come in dead last every time (it might make you want to give up entirely), and, worse, if you’re out playing golf with your boss or a prospective client or employer, a pathetic golf game may make you look bad. If you find that this sounds familiar, you should make a point to improve your game.

If you want to make golf a part of your life, or you already have and you feel like you could improve your game, you’re in a great position to benefit from golf tips: swing away!

Stance. A good stance is critical to your game. Many experts describe a good stance as balancing ninety percent of your weight on your left foot, and ten percent on your right toe.     Don’t be afraid to get the right toe of your shoe dirty—if you’re distributing your weight right, a dirty right toe is a sign of this. Keep this weight distribution in mind and your game will  improve immensely. In fact, for many amateurs this is one of the most helpful golf tips.

Swing. Of all golf tips, swing may be the most important. Try to remember that golf is not a game for the wrists. If you want to hit the ball far, you will have to use the more powerful muscles in your legs and torso. Try and use your whole body when you swing.

Flexibility. A good golf swing requires that you rotate from your trunk. This takes considerable  flexibility of the muscles around your trunk. You can practice and improve this flexibility by stretching regularly; if you’re really tight, you might even consider taking yoga, pilates, or another form of exercise devoted to increasing flexibility. You may think that yoga has nothing to do with golf, but you’d be surprised the extent to which more flexibility can help your golf game.
