Golf Tips to Help the Beginning Golfer
The sport of golf has been with us for thousands of years. People from every corner of the world have enjoyed the tranquility of a few hours spent out on the golf course. The apparent simplicity of playing the game has fooled many people. It is easy to forget the sportsmanship that is involved in the game as you watch someone who plays the game well. Hitting the ball is not as easy as it seems, as so many people who don’t play seem to think. To become good at golf, you will have to put in a lot of hours practicing. There are no two ways about it. A good understanding of how the whole body is involved in a golf swing is important, also. If you are brand new to the game, the following tips can help your game get off to the right start.
Taking golf lessons is probably the best thing a beginning golfer can do to make sure they get started in the right direction. A lot of people overlook this not realizing just how much golf lessons will mold the way you play the game. Believe it or not, golf is considered a sport. Just as with any sport, there is a great deal of learning, practicing, and time spent playing the game. So many people forego the actual practice, instead opting to go out on the course and start trying to play. They don’t realize they are short changing themselves by missing out on tips that can help their game. The game of golf can be complex, but at the same time it can be very fulfilling with the aide of some good golf lessons.
The next best advice to beginning golf is to practice, practice, practice. A good rule of thumb is to double the amount of time practicing compared to a golf lesson. For instance, if you had a golf lesson that lasted for an hour, practice at least two hours. Practice like this every time for a least three times a week. You’ll be introduced to a new technique during your golf lesson. To really grasp and utilize this technique, spending double the time practicing compared to the lesson will help enforce the technique. You’ll be able to break down the technique and eventually work it into your game. The only way to really get something out of these lessons and other golf tips is to practice them. Otherwise, they won’t do you any good.
Another tip, one that is commonly overlooked because it is so simple, is to watch someone who really can play the sport well in action. Take the time to check out the professionals on TV. Go to a professional tournament if you ever get the chance. If one of your local courses has an amateur tournament, check it out because you will see some good talent there, also. The good thing about watching the professionals on TV is the super slow motion replays that they now have. You can really study the swing from start to finish with these replays.
Just remember, the game of golf is one of the most challenging, while at the same time it is one of the most rewarding activities you’ll ever attempt. It has even stumped some of the most gifted professional athletes who excelled at other sports. But, with a true passion for the game along with some good lessons and plenty of practice, you could be the next Tiger Woods.

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.
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.

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.
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!
