The Process of Golf
Golf is learned little
by little one step at a time. Not exactly a modern
American game, is it?
Well, if your heart is
set on “convenience” sports, you might want
to consider kickball or four-square. Golf
isn’t learned in a day. Or even a year.
According to some players – even a decade is
too short! There’s no such thing as a
perfect golf game. That’s all part of the
“beauty and beast” nature that makes up this
simple, complicated game.
There are some
fundamental tips, though, that can shave a
few years of frustration off your career!
Some golfers disagree on even the basics.
So I guarantee you’ll find somewhere someone
who will disagree with me. But here’s what
I’ve found to help golfers tremendously in
improving their game.
The three most
important steps that you want to keep in
mind all the time are
I really can’t say
enough about the importance of keeping your
head perfectly still throughout your shot.
I’ve seen frustrated golfers of all sizes
improve immediately upon concentrating on
this one step.
When your head is
still, you can see the ball clearly. And
how can you hit something that you can’t
see?
Keeping your club head
traveling in a straight line while in
contact with the ball will help you avoid
slicing and a host of other ills.
Relaxation of your
muscles aids tremendously in keeping your
balance. Balance is paramount to a good golf
game and you don’t want to have to brace
your muscles all over your body. Stand
comfortably so you can reach the ball
easily. As far as propelling the ball is
concerned. the muscles which add to the
force are the muscles which twist the body
around. They’re the most powerful. So
relax those arms!
If your game is off, go
back to these three important steps. Don’t
change your stance or swing. Just go back
to the three basics and you’ll get back on
track.
