Ways To Improve Your Golf Swing

By Emily Boyd


Golf is great pastime activity. People of all ages enjoy golfing. Golf can be a great family activity for those that want to get child sized clubs for the younger members of the family. As you learn more about the game, you may grow to love it if you currently think it is boring. Getting good at golf can take some time, though. Continually working to improve your golf swing is one of the key factors to improving your game. Working on this skill will have the most impact on bettering your game. To improve your golf swing, use the following tips.

One way to approach your swing is to compare it to music. Both music and golf swings need a solid tempo, rhythm, and balance to work right. You can't have a good piece of music without a solid foundation. For your golf swing, the foundation is your stance. With your feet spread at varying distances, take practice shots to find what feels the best. Depending on your balance you may be more comfortable with a wider stance but try narrower ones as well to be sure. You will find your core stance after awhile, which is usually shoulder width apart. In order to be able to stride right into your stance when you're on the golf course, you'll want to practice it.

Swinging the club at the ball is what many beginners think they need to do. But you will learn that to improve your swing, you need to swing through the ball. All parts of a swing, including the follow through, are equally important. Here are some tips for practicing your follow through. You'll need to set up two tees and then put your ball on the first one. You should place the two tees about eight inches apart. When practicing, try to hit both the ball and the second tee. With enough practice, you should be able to hit the ball and make it over the second tee in one stroke.

Did your clubs fit you? Clubs are made in varying styles and sizes. So just because a set of clubs is perfect for your friend, doesn't mean that they'll work as well for you. Your height, weight, and what feels good all determine which clubs will work best for you. A set of hand me down clubs will require you to work harder to improve your swing. You should be able to get a recommendation for good clubs from the pros at a golf shop. You will find the results worth the time you've invested!

Golf is great pastime activity. People can enjoy golfing at any age. Small children can enjoy golfing, as well. Everybody needs to practice their golf swing to perfect it. With time and patience, you will develop a good golf swing. You will improve your overall golf game as you use these tips to improve your golf swing. The right clubs, stance, and swing will all help you as you work to improve your golf swing.
