Golf is ever changing but oh so steadfast in its ways.
The game is getting longer and longer yet we keep getting older and older.
We always need ways to hit it further or straighter.
We need the ability to sink 50 foot putts on occasion.
People ask me every day if I can share with them my top 5 tips that pros give me.
Today I have put together 5 that have really helped my game and I hope will do the same for you.
Your golf swing starts out and depends on your alignment, this is why my first three tips to share are dealing with alignment.
1.
First check your feet.
Line up to a target and take your stance.
When you believe that you are all square to hit, take your club and lay it down pointing at the target where it is touching the tips of both of your feet.
Stand back and look down the target line, see if the club is pointing to the target you were aiming at.
If it is not, fix your feet accordingly.
2.
My second tip for alignment is to fix your body.
At address your hips and shoulders should be pointing at the target also.
Have a friend or fellow golfer stand behind you with a Camera.
Stand at address and hold your club across your shoulders.
Take a picture.
Repeat with your hips.
Go back and look at both pictures and see if the clubs are pointing to your target.
If the both are not then fix your body accordingly.
3.
Finally we need to make sure your club face is pointing towards your target.
Now this may vary depending on a person's swing but the concept applies to all golfers.
Set your ball down and stand behind it.
Now visualize where you want your ball to go.
Place a tee about 4 to 6 inches in front of the ball down the target line.
When you are making your swing, make sure you follow through directly at the tee.
Next I want to share with you some of the tips that have helped me really improve my driving skills.
Without these skills I would hit a lot less fairways which would in turn hurt my golf game.
Here are two of the best most useful tips that I have found from this course.
4.
Our next fix will help your turn in your body.
I want you to set up to the ball and put both of your feet together.
You will need to position the ball just in front of your forward foot (Right hander's being their left foot, Left hander's being their right foot).
Start slow with this one it challenges your balance.
Take a full swing and make solid contact.
This drill will not only help your flight path but it will help you with balance, ball striking, and distance! 5.
My final tip for the Drive is the best one in my arsenal.
This is what I have to do every time I start to spray my driver all over the course.
It is also the most simple of my tips to start using.
This technique is shortening your backswing.
When your on the range next time line up to the ball and take a slow and steady backswing ( do not over exaggerate the slow part) and then swing through the ball with full force.
This drill will train your body to swing through the ball and not slow down.
This concludes my top 5 tips.
I do hope these help in your next round or practice session.
