Improve Golf


Golf is anything but easy, though the good news is that with practice and training, you can and will get better. Most people play without any specific goals in mind. This is all well and good for fun, but if you are a serious competitor, you need to have a serious plan. It isn't as hard as you think to figure out the flaws you have in the game, and what you need to do to improve them.

Of course the best thing you can do for improvement is to head to that driving range as much as you can. When you practice on an actual course, you just can't hit the number of balls you do at a driving range. You need to develop a consistent ability to hit balls at specific ranges. When hitting at the range, be sure to place a golf ttee into the ground about 3 inches in front of the ball, and a second one one to three inches in front of the ball. I would also suggest placing a long club, such as a driver, at your toes and parallel with the tees.

Once you start hitting the balls using this type of alignment, you should make sure that your clubface is going straight over the tees, when you make contact with the golf ball. You also want to ensure that your back shoe is pivoting against the club shaft that is laying on the ground. I recommend that you try to focus on a high follow-through after you strike the ball, and then turn your hips towards the target.



Good news! Most driving ranges have a practice green or mound that you can practice pitching onto. I would suggest spending a significant time working around this area as most amateur golfers do not place their approach shots on the green. There is typically a flag that you can aim towards as a target, so I'd suggest experimenting with various shots to the target. When working with short pitches like this, choke down on the pitching wedge, and don't be afraid to swing the club. Avoid the tendency to raise your head and of course, follow the flight of your ball.

Make sure to practice your feel for putting on the manicured practice greens that are typically at the driving ranges. Try using three balls and hit three putts from the same location. I would suggest beginning by putting from a distance of around three feet from the hole, and then increasing the distance of the putts throughout your practice session. Try to keep in mind that you need to be "target putting', which means getting the ball as close to the hole as possible.

With a bit of practice, you'll be a pro in no time!
