Any well known golf tips?

Question

I have been playing golf for about 2 years...so think of it as hitting a 7 iron 150 yrds. My instructor says that "your worst putting job is better than your best chipping job" and that's so true. Any other good tips.

Answer 1

On the full swing try to make sure the golf club is directly over your right shoulder and pointing toward the target. On the downswing, let your arms fall effortlessly and end with your belt buckle either facing the target or a little to the left of the target. Make sure your legs remain in an athletic position, never bending down or straightening up throughout the swing. "Make sure your take away is slow and maintain the triangle formed by your two arms through the entire swing!" The one piece take away works wonders. Remember to turn your shoulders and don't just lift the club with your arms. Make sure that left shoulder gets to the ball or behind it on the take away. Keep your head up so that the left shoulder can turn under your chin and maintain your spine angle. Most of all have fun, enjoy the scenery, enjoy of the outdoors, listen to the birds chirping. And what ever you do don't think about how well your scoring and you only need two more pars on the front or back nine to shoot your best score. Don't think too much and just let it happen. Get in the zone and you'll do just fine.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Answer 4

Well Known:
count the strokes of the guys you play against.

Not Well Known:
When striking the ball, draw an imaginary line where the club head passes over to hit the ball straight. Most try to swing onto that straight line about 2 or 3 inches before the ball. Make a habit of lining up about 7 inches before the ball and you leave less room to chance. The ball will fly straight more often

Putting:
Don't try to sink those long putts. Just aim to get it within 4 feet of the cup, preferably past the hole. That cuts down extra strlkes on the green and if the weight is enough to just go past, it may drop anyway instead of sit on the lip.

Answer 5

Most beginners hit with a swing path that is outside-in. This causes wicked slices. Try to develop an inside-out swing. This will square up the club face better at impact and result in a nice draw on all shots. Try hitting with a closed stance on all clubs for a while so you can experience what inside-out feels like. I still use the closed stance and I hit straight as an arrow.

Answer 7

thats not true depending on the lenght of a putt or chip try this tip if you got to force it chip it instead. for a long putt move the ball in the middle of your stance you'll get more stuff on the ball without forcing it

Answer 8

Practice, practice, practice. A well honed bad swing that can be done over and over again with predictable results is better than a great swing that only comes once a round.

My Taiwanese friend who own a large factory in Taiwan, came to Thailand and play a round of golf with me. He tips caddy a 100 US dollar bill. My Caddie cried.

Answer 10

Keep it simple...Read Ben Hogan's five lessons...

He'll demonstrate how to build a repeatable swing that's fundamentally sound. Because of this, your confidence will grow.

He also explains how many of us get trapped in a maze of tips, instead of going about it intelligently.
