Golf Tips For Your Golf Set Up
All of us are striving to find the golf tips to give us the perfect golf swing. This is as true of beginning golfers as well as well accomplished players. Although there are multiple golf books and golf DVDs of golf tips on the market, most players can improve their golf game by simply paying more attention to what they are doing even before they swing the golf club.
As you watch touring professionals on TV, they take what seems to the majority of us way too much time setting up to the golf ball. Not that we need to take any more time when we play a round of golf, we can be aware of the following golf tips in our golf swing set up:
Golf Tips – Alignment
You have to know where you are going in order to get there. If you are not pointing in the direction that you want the golf ball to start, then you will have to make many manipulations in order to create the ball flight that you want.
You can easily check this in a short practice session on the driving range. As you hit some range balls, lay some clubs on the ground to properly gain your bearings. It will feel different at first. This is good. It means that you are changing something.
Golf Tips – Ball Position
Although there are many theories on where the ball should be at address, most golfers should keep this very simple and keep the club head in the center of their stance. Understand that the club head can change, depending on the type of club that you are using.
When you are swinging the driver, the middle of the driver club head will go in the middle of your stance. By looking at the center of the top of the driver head, since the driver head is the widest, the ball will be placed farther forward in your stance than your irons.
When swinging an iron, again place the center of the club head in the center of your stance. This takes the guess work out of where to place the golf ball and will lead to consistency in your ball striking.
Golf Tips – Balance
This is the most overlooked fundamental throughout the entire golf swing. It is especially important in the setup. If you do not start in proper balance, it is very unlikely you will gain it during the motion.
Balance comes in two forms. Balance needs to be correct from side to side as well as front to back. This is easy to check by moving the weight around on your feet prior to making your golf swing. Once you find your balance, it is not uncommon that you may need to move closer or farther away from the golf ball.
By monitoring these three golf tips in your own golf set up, you will improve your consistency and increase the number of solid golf shots that you hit. Not only will the game become more fun whether you are a beginner golfer or an accomplished player, you will also see you scores improve.

Big E., the first thing to remember is don't be taken in by all the ads about longest, straightest, etc., go to your local golf shop and talk to the salesmen there who can analyze your swing, measure your arm length, grip, etc and build a set around your needs. If you start off with bad clubs you can form bad habits which will ruin your game, start off with good (that does not mean expensive) clubs, get lessons and you will enjoy the game a lot more.
ok, first Im a golf gear fanatic, with disposable income, ive been playing about 5 years now and have switched clubs almost every year, started with Cleveland ta gunmetal irons and woods, cameron ti3 putter, bought titleist oversized + irons, 980 driver and woods, vokey 200 series chrome wedges,cameron futura putter and cameron del mar 3.5 pro platinum putter, went to callaway irons and taylormade 5 xl driver and titanium 580 fairway woods and odyssey 2 ball center shafted putter and a never comprimise voodoo center shafted putter, from there it was Ping G2 driver and fairways, then G5 driver fairway woods and hybrids, added cameron red X center shafted putter, changed irons again to callaway fusion wide sole irons, picked up a rossa monza corza putter, a odyssey xg #7 putter…so this spring I picked up the Cleveland Hi Bore XL driver , fairway woods, and hybrids, kept the fusion irons, still play my set of old cleveland gunmetal wedges 45*51*57*64* and the two ball putter …although I recently bought a odyssey marksman putter (just to practice with or hit on the green at home)…true story…so Ill tell you what…you can buy as much, or as little equipment as you like (but I dont recommend overspending like i do) , but you have to have a swing that feels comfortable, repeatable(so get lessons) …because when you get in trouble with that swing, you will need some basics to go back to…depending on where you live you can go to your local golf mart, vans, worldwide golf shops, roger dunns, or golfsmith (formerly don sherwoods golf and tennis) and there will be a number of knowledgeable salespersons there that can put you on a launch monitor, check your swing, let you hit different clubs and generally educate you on clubs , jargon and specs, as well as recommendations on what to get…dont buy at the first place you stop…shop around…and above all, try to demo clubs on the golf course…take different drivers irons wedges and play them…that way you will know what feels good in your hands…the above mentioned golf shops are retail stores but all have a playable policy that will allow you to return them for like value on other clubs in the store…just remember if you want a lot out of your golf game, put a lot in it…and to be patient…always remember the next shot is the most important shot, not the last shot… e mail me if you need any other particular guidance, and good luck…

Hello Madison
If your having a problem with allignment on the course it could very well be that you actually are setting up the same every time, and as you have stated in your question that almost every lay on the course is different. This calls for a different setup each time.
Now the first thing to do is look at the lay of the ball, is it below or above the feet, is it an uphill or downhill lay. Once determined you then set up accordingly, the ball below the feet will normally move to the right so set up slightly open, the ball above the feet will normally move left so set up square to slightly closed.
Once you have set up just hold the club with both hands across your body on the same line as your shoulders, ( not you feet ) take a glance without moving your shoulders and then trust the swing. The imaginary line of the club and your shoulders should point to your target, which may not be the pin based on what the flight of the ball will be.

I personally play Nike, which are wonderful and helped my game a ton, and my irons cost about 250, and my driver 190. But i also boughtthem sseparately which will effect them some what. Getting your clubs fitted helps ALOT, but not always nnecessary Also, if you would like to improve your game ssignificantly i would suggest getting cavity backed clubs, if nothing else. I hope this helps you a ton! good luck golfing!
