Five Quick Golf Tips

We get asked all of the time for quick golf tips. The question usually comes from someone who has to play in a corporate golf tournament or they are someone who does not play often and they are going on vacation and will have a chance to play a round at a prestigious golf course and are looking for quick golf tips. Here is a list of five free quick golf tips to enjoy your corporate event or vacation.

1. If you have any time before your event to practice, you do need to take advantage of this. Current golf instruction will say that you should spend twice as much time on your short game as you do your full swing. I know, I know, I know. How are you going to get the ball to the green? Without much time before the event, you will improve faster by spending time on getting the ball in the hole as opposed getting the ball just close to the green. If you do not get to play often, chances are that you hit many of your irons close to the same distance. Unless you have time for some golf instruction, this will not be fixed in a short period of time. Get the feel for and mechanics of chipping, pitching and putting.

2. When it comes time to play your round, make sure you loosen up before the round. By loosening up your muscles, you are allowing yourself to relax and prepare your body for the athletic movements you will be making during your round. Your time should also include some time on the practice putting green. You will want to become familiar with the speed of the greens.

3. Grip pressure and arm tension is something that all golfers should monitor during every single swing. Your shoulders and your forearms should not feel like they have any tension in them at all. To give you an example, if you take your grip and hold the club out in front of you with the shaft parallel to the ground. If your shoulders and forearms are relaxed enough then the golf club should drop to the ground. This is the feeling of how relaxed your shoulders and forearms should be during your golf swing.

4. Balance is an underestimated part of the golf swing by most amateurs. In your setup, you will need to check your balance from side to side (left to right) as well as from front to back. You can do this by simply swaying side to side until you feel balanced and do the same from front to back. This will allow you to find your perfect balance. Now the key is once this is found you may need to move closer to the ball or farther away from the ball to stay in balance.

5. Once you start playing your round of golf, leave your ego at home and make and aggressive swing at a conservative target. What does this mean? Do not always go flag hunting on every hole. With not playing very often you are not going to hit every shot where you are looking. Increase your chances of playing better by aiming at the largest part of the green or the part of the green you are most comfortable with trying to hit a golf shot.

Assuming you do not have much time until your event, use these five quick golf tips to have a successful day. To conclude the five quick golf tips, let me give you the best of all of the quick golf tips of them all. Make sure that you HAVE FUN! It is just a game.

Why do golfers here ask for golf tips?
They are much better off paying for a PGA pro to give them a lesson. Tips don't work as they are too general and they are better off going to a pro. Any thoughts?

    Great video!5*
    Nice music and painting!

  3. Three great drills:

    1. Connection drill – take either two small headcovers or two golf gloves and place them under your arms. Using a pitching wedge, make 10 three quarter swings only focusing on not dropping the items under your arms. This is done by some of the best in the business these days – Padraig, Vijay, etc… Just be sure to stick with short shots on this drill. It's purpose is to get the big & small muscles of the upper body working in sequence together.

    2. Balance drill A – Hit 15 shots and with each shot, hold your finish until the ball lands. As simple as it is, it's a fantastic drill for developing real consistency over the long term. Think this is too simple for your liking, you Tiger & Phil wannabes? Go to your local course and watch the golfers on the range/course. How many of them hold their finishes (and how many of them can break 100)? Now watch 5 minutes of PGA/LPGA Tour golf on TV. How many hold their finishes? And how good are they again? Try it and you'll surprise yourself.

    3. Balance drill B – Place 5 golf balls in a line that's perpendicular to your target line/foot line, all about 3 inches apart. Back up about ten feet from the golf balls and with club in hand, stand on one leg (for RH golfers, your left leg). W/o using your club as a crutch, hop over to the closest ball and make as balanced a swing as you can, being sure to use your body to turn back & thru (not your hands & wrists).

    After impact, try to really get thru the ball to the point that you almost have to hop to maintain your balance. Once you've accomplished this, don't put your right leg down. Remember, you still have 4 more balls to hit.

    Once you've hit all five golf balls, hop back over to the original spot where you started from and then you can put your right leg back down on the ground. This is much more difficult than it seems, but is a lot of fun, especially for kids who have a decent amount of experience in the game. But trust me, you'll feel this one.

    Try this a few times, then hit ten or so normal shots with both feet in standard position. It's a great way to teach balance in a golf swing.

    If you are willing to work on your game and can make consistent contact with the ball, I'd keep you on my team. For high school girls, many golf coaches (unless you go to a school with an outstanding girls golf program) are just looking for girls who have some experience with the sport. I hate having to start from scratch. Don't EXPECT to play varsity in the very first match but definitely show the coach that you WANT to.

    Truly, the best idea, is to ask a golf proffesional at your nearest driving range. There, you can ask as many questions as you want, and the instructor will guide you throughout your swing. It makes it alot easier than reading other peoples ideas because you dont know truly that you are making the perfect swing. I hope your game improves!

    I think Golf Digest is a better magazine. Not only it supplies useful golf drills and tips from the top teaching and playing professional (butch harmon, hank haney, tiger woods, tom watson and many more), there are alot of news regarding about golfs. If you pick Golf Digest up, you'll know happenings around the PGA tour, players' interviews and tips, fashion, Q&A, junior tournaments, good car and restaurants and many more.
