Posted in Uncategorized on August 30th, 2010 by admin – 1,834 Comments

One part about the game that many golfers take for granted is their aim. If they are not lined up properly, it is impossible to hit the golf ball in a predictable direction and manner. One golf instruction tip to avoid this problem is to practice alignment.

A helpful tip for fixing an alignment problem is to lay a club down on the ground to use as an aiming tool. To do this, a golfer must select a target in the distance. The next step is to lay down a club that is pointed at the target. This is the aiming line, which should be perpendicular to the club face. Finally, another club should be placed parallel to the aim line, which represents the line on which the golfer’s feet are aimed.

Books on Golf

One of the most entertaining books on golf that I have read is Rick Reilly’s “Who’s Your Caddy”. Reilly documents his time caddying for various golfers including Donald Trump. John Daly. Tom Lehman. and Jack Nicklaus. Reilly recounts his experiences caddying for each golfer for one round in a humorous and revealing way. In many cases. the behavior of the golfer in question falls in line with their normal perception. For example. Donald Trump is every bit as flamboyant on the course as off it. In other cases. Reilly opens the eyes of his readers. introducing a side to professional golfers that not many people know exist like the “competition” between Tom Lehman and Bernhard Langer to be the friendliest player on tour. “Who’s Your Caddy” is a must read for any serious golf fan.

Since over half of the shots in a round of golf are generally made with your putter, it makes sense to work on your putting game. Golf Professionals are more than willing to provide golf instruction on putting, and will give you some very useful tips. But in order to vastly improve your putting, you need to practice.

You should practice like the pros. Many professional golfers use a chalk line when they practice their putting. You can use a carpenter’s tool to make the chalk line. Find a straight uphill putt on the practice green. Make a chalk line from the cup out about one meter. Putt six balls, then move back a meter, extending the chalk line. Do not move back until you make all six balls consecutively. Putt another six balls, repeating this process until you get to the six meter mark. By following this golf instruction for putting you will improve your putting accuracy.

A golf swing is something that people will pay hundreds of dollars for. Here is the proper way to swing a golf club. You need to position yourself in a straight line with your target. The target in this case is the flag. Now stand parallel to the line that you have made. Place the ball just in front of your right hand as you’re lined up to it. Your backswing is going to start with the rotation of your body, not with raising your hands or arm. Make sure your motion is consistent as you come back. Now you’re going to swing through the ball with a natural motion. The key is too let the club do all of the work.
