GOLF TIPS FOR THE GOLFER

EQUIPMENT                                   DISCOUNT GOLF SETS ON EBAY

When playing golf a highly skilled player could go out and shoot a very good score with just
about any set of golf clubs. They have enough feel and experience to make adjustments and
adapt to the performance differences between golf clubs quickly. For a middle to high handicap
player, however, having golf equipment that is properly fitted to their physique and capabilities
is more crucial. No matter what your handicap or skill level, having the right golf clubs is one
more thing you can do to give yourself the best possible chance of playing golf well. There are
many different variables in club fitting (swingweight, golf club length, grip size, grip material,
golf shaft flex, shaft material, loft and lie, golf clubhead style, golf clubhead material, and so
on).

Many people complain about not being able to hit the golf ball well with their golf woods, and in
particular their driver. From what I've seen poor quality contact is a major problem for many
golf players. Put a golf tee in the ground (without a ball) sticking up approximately 1 inch. You
should be able to strike the tee consistently without hitting, or even brushing, the ground at all.
If you miss the golf tee, or touch the ground in any way, don't wonder any longer why you can't
hit your golf driver. Remember--the longer the golf club, the more precision required. Practice
this exercise until you can consistently clip the tee without touching the ground (or even the
grass). Once you get quality contact handled the feedback you get from your shots becomes
meaningful. Then you can work on directional control.

GOLF IRONS TIPS  CLICK NOW FOR THE BEST DEALS IN GOLF

A very important factor in striking the golf ball solidly and consistently with your golf irons is
getting the "bottom" of your swing in front of the golf ball (i.e., the lowest spot in the swing's
arc on the target side of the ball--see picture). This promotes contacting the golf ball before the
ground (this is a good idea). You can develop a feel for this by scratching a line on the ground
with a tee, or making a row of tees spaced about 6 inches apart, perpendicular to your target
line. Straddle the line and take divots until you consistently make the divots in front of (toward
the target from) the line, or row of golf tees. You can certainly hit golf balls this way too -- with
the golf balls on the line or between each of the golf tees. Once you can do this you'll hit your
golf iron shots much more solidly and with more control.

Do you want to be a good putter? Here are some basic fundamentals you should be practicing.
Get a golf putter with a very distinct line marked on it to indicate the target line and practice
with a chalk line. You can get a chalk line at any diy store for a few pounds, and it's as valuable
a training aid as there is anywhere. Find a putt on the practice green that is straight. Snap a
chalk line down from about 5 or 6 feet to the middle of the cup. Make sure that the entire length
of the line on your golf putter is exactly on the chalk line. Start making putts. This will train your
eyes to "see square" precisely. Keep your the pressure in your hands soft and constant
throughout the stroke. Sensitivity is obviously a huge part of putting. If your hands are tight on
the golf grip you are diminishing your sensitivity - period. Also, if your grip pressure changes
during the stroke, it's probably not "a stroke" but more likely a jab, flinch, spasm, push, hit ...
well, you understand - best of luck. There is no independent action in the hands. Nothing could
be more logical: If you do indeed have the golf putter face aligned precisely, as in the first point
above, the last thing you'd want to do is to change the position of the face. Therefore, your
hands should not be moving independently of your arms and shoulders. If you can't tell if your
hands are moving, as a drill try watching your hands very carefully (instead of the ball) a few
times. You'll be able to see quite easily whether or not they are moving in your stroke. There
are more (endless) details about putting, of course, but if you turn these fundamental concepts
into habits it will take you a long way toward being a consistently good putter of the golf ball.

GOLF SHORT GAME TIPS CLICK NOW FOR EBAYS BEST GOLF DEALS

The chip and run should be the workhorse of your golf short game. It is the most reliable golf
shot around the green. I would estimate that at least 95% of any golf short game shots (from
within 20 yards of the edge of the green) are played with a chip and run, and the other 5%
include putts from off the green, pitches, and bunker shots. Getting the golf ball on the ground
and rolling as soon as possible greatly increases the chances of the golf ball's behavior being
predictable. That is not to say that a chip and run is always very low to the ground...just as low
as possible. A chip and run style golf shot can be played with the most lofted wedge in your golf
bag, in which case some people might refer to the shot as a "pitch and run." In many cases
where the average golfer tries to pitch the golf ball up in the air, the "risk vs. reward" and the
uncontrollable nature of a pitch (especially from a marginal lie) make it a poor choice.

Short Game General Rules:

* Putt whenever feasible (i.e., IF the golf ball will roll rather than bounce)
* Chip and run when you can't putt
* Pitch only when you have no choice with the lie of your golf ball.
