Golf Tips

We all want to know the golf tips for driving your golf ball longer. Every golfer I know wants more distance off the tee and is willing to try almost anything to make it happen. I'm sure that I have written about this in some of my other articles, but let me just go over again some of my techniques. These are some of the techniques that a lot of the pro's use and in time, if you play long enough, you'll figure out these little secrets for yourself eventually. The very first thing that I want to throw at you is some golf grip tips. When your swinging hard, you want to be able to return the clubface squarely to the ball, so you need to maintain very light grip pressure. If you grip too tightly, you will tense up from your hands to your shoulders and maybe even down your back. Then, you'll end up rushing your downswing and get the handle too far ahead of the clubhead, probably causing a pushed shot or hitting the ball, who knows where. So remember, light grip pressure is impo rtant when using your driver, woods, and your high irons, like the 3,4,5. Choke down a little and grip a little harder when your hitting out of the rough or approach shots to the green. These are great golf lessons that I,m giving you so go to the range and see for yourself.

Next, and this creates speed and speed equals distance, try adjusting your stance a little by turning your front foot out to where it's about 30 degrees open. This will help you to clear your left side faster on your downswing, right side if your a lefty, creating faster arm speed. You will need to go to the driving range and work this out and figure out exactly where your front foot needs to be in order for this to work for you. Just hit a few balls adjusting your foot in out and further out, until you find what works best for you. This adjustment will help to add distance.

The next major golf tip would be to take your club back and make as wide an arc as possible on your backswing, all the way to the top. This will create more centrifugal force and clubhead speed through the ball. Don't misunderstand me here, swing within yourself and maintain your center of gravity. Keep your spine angle upright and head fairly straight and swing your arms and torso around, keeping your eye on the ball at all times. I want you to make a complete shoulder turn as possible and make a slower and longer swing. Did you catch that? A Slower, Longer swing. Slowing down your golf swing will fix so many problems for beginners, I just can't begin to tell you. I know what your thinking; "But, I have to swing harder so that I can hit it farther." Not true my friend. If you get up there and try to kill it or, even worse, try to keep up with what everybody else is doing, your not going to have a good round. Never try to play someone else's game, play to your strength's a nd work hard in the areas where your having the most trouble. Learn to course manage your game. If it's a dog leg hole, hit your ball to where you clear the dog leg and land your ball so that it's sitting where it needs to be for the next shot. Don't automatically pull out your driver and try to force it. Make calculated shots and be dilligent in practicing your short game. In finishing your backswing, lead with your lower body, then bring your arms around and through the ball.
