Golf tips

We want to share with you a few golf tips to help you improve your game and enjoy golf even more. Golf is a lifelong pursuit of perfection that none of us can truly master, and no matter how long you have played the game there is always more to learn, and more golf tips to help us play the game better. It's one of the fascinating characteristics of this game.

Here are a few golf tips on equipment:

Many players find that replacing their 1, 2, 3, and 4 irons with utility woods work much better for them. Utility woods look like a driver but with a much smaller head. Many players find that they can hit these clubs farther and with more consistency than a long iron.
Keep your driver in the bag and use a 3 wood instead on tee shots. Newer golfers tend to hit higher lofted clubs better with more accuracy, so why hit a driver a few yards farther but several yards into the rough when you can be in the fairway on your next shot instead?
The two pieces of equipment that have made the most difference in the way the game has chnaged in recent years is the shafts and golf balls that are now being manufactured. If you really want to improve your game, match the shaft material and flex with your swing speed and tempo, and then choose a ball that compliments that same combination.

Here a few golf tips on swing problems:

Sometimes it is best that you realize that some swing faults are just going to be with you for a while and then decide to buy clubs that allow and compensate for these faults in your swing instead. If slicing is the problem try clubs that are offset to compensate for it, or drivers that have higher lofts so less spin is imparted on impact. If hooking is the problem, try open face clubs with lower loft angles.

Golf tips for practicing:

Most people practice counter to producing the lowest golf score possible. The one club that is most often used on the golf course and is responsible for more shots than any other is the putter, but it often gets the short end of the stick when practice time comes. In contrast the driver is only responsible for one shot a hole at the most and then only at par 4s and 5s. Yet it is often used in practice more than any other club. Try practicing so that you spend 30% of your time on putting, 20% at chipping around the greens, 20% on short irons, 20% on fairway woods and mid-irons and only 10% on your driver. It may seem odd at first but this kind of practice is what will accomplish your real goal, lowering your golf score.
