Golf Swing Tips To Improve Your Golf Game
Tom Wilson
The following golf swing tips will help you to build your skill level and
your confidence to hit the golfball more consistently. These are high
level or big picture tips so be sure to check the rest of our site for
more low level specific tips
Golf swing tip #1: Maintain a positive image of hitting the
golfball.
Remember the last time you played this hole and made a good swing at the
golfball. Negative self-talk will adversely impact your game.
Golf swing tip #2: Develop a good tough mental attitude. Confidence
in
your ability to put a bad shot behind you and move on, turn the page in
the book in your head to hit a good golf shot.
Golf swing tip #3: Practice does make almost perfect. You do not
need to
go to the driving range to lower your scores. You can practice putting
and chipping on your carpet in your house. Chipping and pitching to a
close target in your backyard are proven to be effective ways to drop
strokes from your short game. Practice your full swing in front of a
mirror, or in the back yard. Go through your preshot routine many times
untill it becomes second nature. When you practice your fullswing check to
see if you finish the swing in balance, if not make some adjustments in
your setup.
Golf swing tip #4: Learn how to play competitive golf with a
playing
partner by having a match. This will help you become a tough competitor
and ingrain the kill instinct that you need to win.
Golf swing tip #5: Purchase golf swing aids or a golf training aid
to help groove your swing. My favorite is the speed stik, and the medicus.
Golf swing tip #6: Take a lesson with a golf pro. Ask to have your
golf swing videotaped. This will help if you are a visual learner to see the
weaknesses in your swing. If you do not care for the style of the teaching
pro then find another. There are many pros and many styles of teaching -
find the one that is right for you.
Golf swing tip #7: Reading a golf swing tip website such as
http://www.golfgist.com will help learn new golf swing tips to practice.
Look for new articles and tips that may work for you. We are all different
and find different tips work well for some and poorly for others.
Golf swing tip #8: Watch golf video(s) or a PGA tounament and learn
from the pros. By watching a pro you will come to realize the importance
of the preshot routine to consistent play. The pros do have many diiferent
swing and setup keys, see if you can identify them and then try them out
for yourself to see if it makes a difference.
Golf swing tip #9: Work on a few golf swing tips each week until
you have
mastered them. Pay special attention to putting tips and practice your
putting the most. This is where most matches are won and lost.
Golf swing tip #10: Focus on your swing Tempo - say 1,2,3,4 to
yourself
during your swing. 1 is the target, 2 is the golfball, 3 is the backswing,
and 4 is the downswing.
Try these golf swing tips and keep a journal of those that seem to help
improve your game.
