Online Golf Lessons
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011Taking golf lessons from qualified professionals is a great way to lower your golf score. There are many positives to taking golf lessons in person. However, there are also a few negatives. For instance, you have to find a time that fits your schedule as well as the schedule of the golf pro of your choice. Then you have to drive to the location where the lesson will take place. And the biggest negative is having to pay for the lesson. If the pro is good, you will have to pay a lot. If you want to take more golf lessons in less time and you value convenience, take online golf lessons instead. Some of these lessons are free, but if you want individualized lessons, they will cost a little money. The positives still greatly outweigh the negatives.
Online Golf Tips
Tuesday, February 8th, 2011If you’re looking for online golf tips, you’re going to find so much information that it will lead to sensory overload. In other words, you will not be able to retain much. Think of it this way, if you walk into a room and meet 50 people, how many names will you remember? Probably none. It’s too much information to handle so your brain disregards the challenge. However, if you walk into a room and meet 1 person, you will be much more likely to remember that person’s name. The same goes for online golf tips �” keep it simple. A good approach is to keep it to one tip per day. Then repeat that tip in your head over and over all day long. Today’s tip: in order to avoid hitting the ball with the toe of the clubhead, keep your elbows tucked.
natural golf swing
Tuesday, December 21st, 2010One of the most frequently played sports in the world is the sport of golf. While golf can be a great activity when played well, it can be very frustrating when not played well. For those that struggle at golf, one of the most difficult things is to maintain a natural golf swing.
Most golfers who are new to the sport tend to try and hit the ball as hard as possible. While it may seem that this technique would lead to far and powerful shots, it actually tends to make a person hit the ball inaccurately and out of bounds. To ensure that you get good distance, and stay on the fairway, you need to have a natural golf swing. To have a natural swing you need to try and swing softly while having good control of the club.
Did Harvey Penick write the best book on golf?
Friday, August 13th, 2010Having played golf since the age of 5, it’s hard to say which has been the best book on golf I’ve read over the years.
If I had to choose one however, it would be Harvey Penick’s Little Red book. A great collection of stories impart great golf wisdom and there is something in that little book on golf for every golfer from a beginner facing struggles to hit the ball consistently, all the way through to Tiger and his current mental slump.
It’s not just a book on golf, it’s a book about a past time steeped in traditions and rules that teach a person much, much more than how to hit a ball.
It takes you back to a time before over sized drivers, rescue clubs or hybrids and when putting was about finesse and feel, not broom sticks and bellies.
There’s Always Something to Learn
Monday, April 26th, 2010For lovers of the game of golf, there can never be too much time spent out on the golf course. For most of us, though, there’s also always something to learn and that’s where golf instruction comes in.
There are many ways to gain golf instruction that can help us to become better golfers. Some athletes benefit by utilizing golf instruction videos and DVDs that guide them in improving golf swings, putting, and tee shots, among other things.
Many prefer receiving golf instruction in person at their local golf course. Being critiqued in person and being able to have bad habits recognized and fixed with a golf instructor is invaluable in becoming a better golfer.
Golf instruction is sometimes costly, but it’s certainly worth it for anyone serious about golf.
Beginners can usually benefit from instruction, even if it’s not from a pro.
Monday, January 11th, 2010I have a friend who asked me for some help with his swing. I told him I was a bad person to ask, because it took me years to stop hooking my golf shots. My swing has never been my strong point, and I’ve always thought of myself as a short game guy. He told me that he isn’t concerned by how long it took me to stop hooking my golf shots. He is impressed with my swing and he wants to pay me as an instructor. I feel kind of guilty taking his money, but he is such a beginner, that he could probably benefit from what I could teach him.
