If you happen to be in the market for a book that will improve your golf game, then look into a book called Effortless Golf.

Effortless Golf has a 4.5-star consumer rating, which is out of 5 stars. By reading this book for golf, you will learn how to hit farther and straighter. And that’s really all you need to know.
Improve Your Chipping
Monday, January 17th, 2011Chipping can be one of the most rewarding and frustrating aspects of golf. Obviously, if you do it well it’s rewarding and if you do it poorly it’s frustrating. Unfortunately, more people fall into the latter category. There are dozens of golf chipping tips to consider, but that’s not what we’re going to cover. What will be pointed out is that nothing is more valuable than going to the golf course on your own early one morning or in the twilight hours so you can practice chipping in a real golf environment. It’s recommended that you go solo so you will have more repetitions. The key to any sports movement is muscle memory. By repeating the chipping movement dozens of times, if not hundreds of times, you will be cementing your muscle memory, which will lead to more success.
The anatomy of a golf swing lesson
Friday, October 29th, 2010If you are smart, then you think about all of the possible outcomes of every decision you make. This is especially true when it comes to your golf game. What could be more important than improving your swing dramatically? The answer, of course, is that few things are more important than that. If you want to get better, then you need to think about golf swing instruction and the benefits that come from that.
Golf swing instruction will generally start with an analysis of your strengths and your weaknesses. Do you line up well, then lose it on the backswing? Do you struggle at the top. A pro giving golf swing instruction will walk you through each and every part of the golf swing, making sure you have the basic skills down pat.
Golf Course Instruction
Wednesday, October 27th, 2010One of the best places and times to get instruction on golf is on the actual golf course. Instead of playing with your usual group of friends, consider going to the golf course as a single and asking to be paired up with new people. It’s best to play with people who are slightly more advanced that you. By doing so, you’ll glean some invaluable tips by just watching how they hit the ball. Notice how better players set up to the ball and watch their fundamentals like stance, posture, and grip. Also, take note about the decisions that they make when going about the course. Also, don’t be embarrassed to ask a better player for tips. Most people will be glad to offer advice if you ask for it.
Do Only Pros Invest in Golf Swing Instruction?
Friday, June 18th, 2010You don’t have to be a professional golf player to want to improve your game and enjoy yourself more on the golf course. In fact, if you continue to make the same mistakes over and over again, you will inevitably get frustrated. This happens to many new golf players and after investing in expensive equipment, they give up the game before they ever get started.
Just a few lessons in golf swing instruction will improve your game exponentially. You can get these in person with a professional golfer who also gives lessons or you can opt to watch videos that are dedicated to golf swing instruction. Even after you learn the basics, it can take a while to hone your skills but it is important to learn the proper swing technique when it comes to the game of golf.
A Natural Phenomenon
Thursday, June 3rd, 2010During our journey from novice to intermediate golfer, we are overwhelmed with golf instructions and tips. Some of them we seek out, such as the golf instructions from books and golf instructors. However, many more of those golf instructions come from our friends and the people with which we play and practice golf. A natural phenomenon occurs on the golf course when a golfer is in range of a less experienced golfer. He or she suddenly experiences the undeniable urge to infuse the young golfer with all of their hard-earned wisdom. This can be tough on the young golfer who wants to be polite, but at the same time is having a difficult enough time of it without all the additional noise.
Youth Golf Course Instruction
Friday, May 21st, 2010Many golf courses throughout the country have begun offering free golf course instruction for young people. My own local course began a similar program just last year, and in order to recruit instructors they offered members free rounds in exchange for donated time. I became involved in the youth golf instruction for selfish reasons, in order to take advantage of that program, but I kept at it once I realized how rewarding the experience was. I must admit that I initially expected instructing kids to be a nightmare scenario. Golf is hard, far too difficult for them, or so I thought. I now realize that kids take to it better than the adults do. If you have the opportunity, then donate some of your time to a great youth golf course instruction program.
Golf Discount Book
Thursday, May 13th, 2010Are you a frequent visitor to your local golf course? If so, you may want to ask them if they have a golf discount book for their course. It’s a great way to save money on activities that you participate in on a regular basis. Many courses have different levels of golf discount books. If you play infrequently, you can purchase a small one and save a little. If you play often, buy the larger golf discount book and you could save up to half off some services. Usually, the driving range and nine or eighteen hole games are the offers most often represented in a golf discount book. You may even find discounts for golf accessories if you are lucky.
Beginner Golf Lesson
Monday, May 3rd, 2010If you’re just learning how to play golf, do yourself a favor and sign up for a beginner golf lesson. Every golf course should have a golf pro available to give a beginner golf lesson. Make sure you ask about availability because during peak times of the year, you may have to make an appointment and wait a few days. If you visit the golf course during a slow time of the week or year, the golf pro may have time available to immediately give you a beginner golf lesson. The lesson will probably work on your golf swing on the driving range and you can progress to the course in later lessons. Some courses offer a series of beginner golf lessons at a discounted price.
