Golf Instruction

Players of all handicaps should always take the opportunity to get a golf course lesson. Different from lessons given at the range or a practice facility, a golf course lesson allows the player to encounter situations they may face in the course of a round. Players cannot always reproduce course conditions with available practice facilities. Golf course lessons can provide, along with the experience of playing under a situation where imaginative play might be necessary, the confidence in hitting every shot a player needs when they are on the course without their coach or teacher. Playing under course conditions with peers or colleagues can be unnerving when a player faces unknown scenarios. A golf course lesson minimizes the likelihood of such an event.

Golfers are always in search of ways to improve their game, thus lowering their score. By consulting with a golf pro, it is possible to implement a training and practice regiment geared towards the individual. What may work for one golfer may throw another player off, so a personalized lesson plan is the fastest way to shave strokes of a golfer’s score.

Golf instructions can be complicated to follow, so it is imperative for those receiving lessons to keep a practice journal that is updated after each session with their instructor. This way, a golfer can refer to this information when they are practicing on their own.

Personalized golf instructions will improve a player’s game, and that will lead to more fun on the course. This is what the game of golf is all about: enjoyment.

Would you like to take your golf swing to the next level? Try closing your eyes.

Although this piece of advice is contrary to the old adage – Keep your eye on the ball – closing your eyes during practice swings can actually help you improve your swing. This is especially true if you have trouble with keeping balance or over swing.

Closing your eyes while doing practice swings lets your brain get a ‘feel’ for your swing. With your eyes open, your brain is processing all of the normal visual information it receives, on top of the kinesthetic information it’s receiving from your body’s movement. By closing your eyes, you’re allowing your brain to focus on just the feel of your body and help you overcome the natural tendency to right yourself when your body feels like it’s falling over, during your golf game.
