Guide To Golf For Beginners

Golf is a strategic game where you do not need power alone. You will need strategy and lots of practice to execute a golf swing. This is because a golf swing takes time to master. For beginners, you will need to understand the concept of the game and practice until you improve your handicap, lower your score and execute a good swing.

Golf is both technical, strategically and a different kind of game where it is possible for you to play it while doing business at the same time.

This is because scholarly and rich individuals who may possibly do good to your business commonly play this game, thus learning golf is imperative if you want to be successful in your business as well.

Tip: If you feel that you are losing balance in your swing, try taking some time at the range to work your swing while barefoot. By not wearing shoes and socks, you will intuitively swing with more balance, as you will want to keep yourself firmly rooted instead of swinging for maximum power.

Anyway, so much for commercial reasons, this article is to give you a guide to begin your journey into golfing fun.

What do you need to play golf?

Understanding of the game
Proper equipment
Patience
Practice

Tip: When you are on the green and have to remove the flag stick be sure to not throw it down. The act of throwing it down can damage the surface of the green.

I do not want to be too technical about it, my mission is to help you start and improve your golf game. Read on and have an open mind.

Understanding the game

You will need to know that your goal is to send the ball to the hole. However, you may ask why then do players take so much time on the tee? This is because you will need to learn the swing to send the ball to the hole.

Tip: Many golfers complain about hooking their shots. This is due to a closed club face, and when hit the ball goes to the left.

The golf course has many holes you need to cover and the distance between each hole could be somewhere from 100 to 600 yards. You will need to learn how to swing the ball, possibly reach the level of hitting the ball to travel at 100 KPH. To do this you will need to practice.

Proper equipment

One equipment you need to be comfortable with is your golf club. Do you wonder why a golf bag contains numerous golf clubs? This is not only to give the caddy a job; it is because in one single game, you will need all the different kinds of golf club. Types of golf club necessary to play a golf game are the putter, iron, wood, wedge and the driver.

Tip: Make sure your body is relaxed and prepared to take a shot before you actually swing. Step back and take a deep breath before approaching the ball.

All of them play a particular part in the game and you will need to understand how each of them work.

Let me tell you at this point that many beginners mistakably purchase costly golf clubs and this is not necessary. You only need a golf club that you will be comfortable with, thus if you must buy, buy your golf clubs intelligently.

Patience

Tip: If you need to make a longer than normal bunker shot, try taking a nine iron instead of a sand wedge. By taking a nine iron you increase the distance you are able to carry the ball out of the sand and decrease the likelihood that you will skull the ball by taking a sand wedge and swinging too hard.

You will need to give fluidity to your swing and if you are angry, frustrated or too excited, you will not be able to deliver the swing that will lead to the hole. Patience is therefore necessary; you may be mad at your poor swing but take time to relax and try again.

Practice

There is no overnight success in golf. Thus, to execute that perfect swing, you will need to practice. Practice without the ball and practice with the ball. You may be able to execute the swing perfectly without the ball, but executing it with the ball can make the difference. Thus, you will need a lot of practice to perform that swing you see on tournaments.

I hope that the above will help you begin playing golf. Have fun and see you on the green.
