Mark Twain had as much trouble with golf as anyone else. He quipped that the game’s entire purpose was to spoil his walk through the greens. However, no matter how poetic a wordsmith can paint the game to sound on paper, actually stepping out onto the course and playing can be incredibly frustrating. If all golfers could afford a caddy with knowledge of club selection, the game might be more interesting. It is upon every golfer to make the right decision when it comes to club choice. Look to to the tips below to help you out.
Try walking, instead of renting yourself a golf cart. This helps you get much more exercise so that you can improve your health. Walking also warms your muscles and keeps you loose, which will help your game.
A great tip for putting is when you address the ball, your left hand needs to be in front of the ball. Keep this position while you swing. This will help you maintain the appropriate grip on the club during your stroke, and will make it less likely that the ball will dart off of the face of the club during contact.
When you putt, have your left hand in front of the ball. Swing your club while retaining this position during your stroke. When you do this, you maintain a solid grip on your club while at the same time preventing the ball from unexpectedly jumping off the club face as it makes contact.
Knowing how to keep track of your score is a crucial element of playing golf. You should know how to keep score because you can judge how good you and friends did. The score, in its basic form, is every swing is counted as a stroke, and the number of strokes it takes to reach the hole is the score for that hole. The intent is to do so in as little a number of strokes as you can!
Perhaps some of these tips do not correspond to your style, but you might be able to adapt them to your game. Try out some new techniques, change your swing or improve your grip, and you’ll soon find more victories and lower stroke totals on your scorecard, as well as a bigger smile on your face on golf day.
