For anyone to improve their game of golf, it just plain takes practice! But, to be sure you are not practicing the wrong methods, instruction is usually a good idea.
Three tips to consistent drives.
1.
A proper, comfortable stance is a must.
During your golf swing your body needs to be anchored and comfortable to reduce and eliminate swaying.
2.
Your golf grip is all about comfort and feel.
There are three different types of grips, interlocking, overlapping or the baseball grip.
None of the three are right or wrong, its which ever one will give you more wrist action and feel, for better ball striking.
3.
The swing plane should be a smooth flow, horizontal at the top, prior to contact, and the same after a good follow through, horizontal at the top.
If you employ a simple golf swing, a good swing plane will be much easier to accomplish.
Not all golf balls are made the same! The golf ball that you use will also make some difference to your game.
Do you want longer distance, better accuracy, or a ball that generates tour-level greenside spin.
The make up of golf balls is an ever changing, improving process.
Most golfers will change the ball they are playing as their skill level improves.
Your Driver is not the most important club you have.
You know what they say, "Drive for Show, (I'll finish that saying in a minute).
Driving the ball only happens 18 times in each round.
If you average 80 to 90 strokes you have about 70 other shots to account for.
Your iron game is a huge part of your golf score.
When you use a plain and simple golf swing you will get closer to par.
The Putter is the great Equalizer.
Have you ever counted how many putts you use during your round? Your very first goal should be to take no more than two putts per hole.
If you are currently using three putts just look at how many strokes you will lower your score by only using two per hole! The saying goes like this, "Drive for show, Putt for Dough.
" There has been many dollars won or lost on that last three foot putt on the 18 hole! A simple golf swing will give you much more control, which will increase the power, consistency, and accuracy that you have always wanted.
