How to Improve Your Golf Game
How do you improve your golf game? Everyone wants to
know how
to improve their golf Game. "If I could just figure
out this one little thing...." Therein lies the
problem.
There
is no "one little quick fix" that
will improve your golf game. Everyone pretty much understands
that practice will help their game. Practice makes perfect
right? Well, not entirely.
There
are actually 6 things you need to do in order to have maximum game
improvement. The first two or three I am sure you already
understand. The last three or four may need a little
explaining.
- Practice
- Lessons
from a Professional Instructor
- Play
- Physical
fitness
- A
good mental game
- Equipment that has
been fit to your game
I truly believe
that each one of these is equally as important as the other.
If you want to improve your game to maximum extent, you need to do all
six things. Some of you might ask, "Isn't playing the
same as practicing?" I don't think so. When you are
practicing on a range, you tend to work on the same shot over and
over. When you are playing a round, every shot is different
than the one before it. Some people will
try to practice the way that they play. They will go to the
range, hit the first ball with a driver, the second with a five iron,
and then the third with a wedge. They practice just as if
they were playing on the course. I
personally don't feel this is an effective way of practicing.
You might just as well be playing a round. The tour pros
don't practice this way, so I wouldn't either. Special
Note: One thing to remember is that, in general, men and
women play differently. Women golfers swing differently than
men do, and there are many good tips on how ladies
should approach the game. Another way to improve
your golf game, is to take lessons from a golf professional.
Many people try to avoid this by reading golf magazines and trying to
diagnose their own swing problems, or listening to their friends on the
course, (who aren't much better themselves). All of this
usually ends up either confusing the golfer or, worse yet, making their
game worse than it was before. To improve
your golf game you need to take lessons. Everyone can benefit
from a professional golf instructor. Even Tiger Woods has his
own personal golf coach. Physical fitness is often
neglected as a way to improve your golf game. I am not saying
you need to pump iron and look like Mr. (or Miss) Universe.
What I am saying is that you need to have a regular exercise and
stretching routine. This will reduce the risk of injury, and
you will be stronger which will translate into hitting the ball further. You
must also have a good
mental game. Many people will say that you need to
have a positive attitude and then turn around and think to themselves "boy
I hope I don't hit the ball into that pond". That's
not positive thinking. Now, just as
important as all of the rest of this is properly fit golf
equipment. Who needs custom fit golf clubs? If you
want to improve your golf game then you do. It has been
estimated that 80-90% of golfers do not realize the importance of
having properly fit clubs. I certainly didn't when I
bought my first set of clubs. I admit that they were low end
clubs but I just figured I needed to learn how to play first.
Once I learned more about golf club specs and how to measure them, I
was disgusted with these clubs. The lie angles not only were
incrementally inconsistent, but some of them were incremented in the
wrong direction! That was just one of their many problems That
is what this website is all about. It will teach you how and
why you need to be custom fit, and how to do it yourself. You
will learn how to check your current clubs and make any necessary
adjustments, and how to build new clubs from components. You
will definitely improve your golf game. Some
