Golf, without a doubt, is a favorite sport; a reason why it is broadcast on television. Your game may not be up to Tiger Wood’s, but to get good at it, there are just three helpful tips for getting the right golf swing.
The first is that you need to have a good shoulder roll to hit the ball down the center and get it as close to the hole as possible. Easier said than done. Most people work under the misconception that by lifting their heel off the ground, they can do what is meant to be done in golf.
It all comes down to this: turning the hip is good as long as it doesn’t create any recoil. The lesson to be learned is not to turn too much creating recoil, but not by how much the person turns when firing.
The second lesson is not to let the chin rest on the chest. This will make it more difficult for your left arm to swing back when executing the backswing. You have to keep your chin up to allow your left arm to move across your chest unhindered. This will result in the formation of a wide arc that is required to hit the ball and send it in the correct direction.
The third lesson is to relax. If you are tense, you cannot think straight. If you do not think correctly, you will forget the two tips given above, which will cause a disruption in your rhythm. therefore, you will not hit the ball the correct way.
Relaxing is a little hard when you’re playing a real round of golf and you want to win, but that’s what separates the chaff from the wheat: the boys from the men. Block everyone around you out of your mind, focus and imagine that you are in your “happy place”.
This is exactly what Adam Sandler’s character did in the movie “Happy Gilmore” and won the game despite the odds.
Of course, you may not be able to master all three tips overnight, but with constant and regular practice you will soon get the gist of the tip. But keep in mind that professional golfers don’t always win and they also make mistakes.
This thought should give you a good chance of winning a competition, but you have nothing to lose because you are at a disadvantage and are not expected to win. But the situation changes when you perform well throughout the tournament and everyone expects you to do even better than you did.
When all else fails, try to remember the third tip and relax. The difference between winning and losing is nothing more than attitude, and relaxation is a type of attitude. Continue your practice until you get the right golf swing. Practice at home, at a shooting range, or on a golf course.
The three tips given above are nothing more than technique and attitude. The game starts from the moment the first hit is given. That’s why your swing counts. If you get it right from the beginning, then the final putt, just a few feet from the hole, will be relatively easier.
If you’re really lucky, you might even hit a “hole in one”, something rare and something that happens only once in a blue moon. But if you do, you have to move on to the next hole, which can be more challenging than the one you just completed.
When you are on the course, success can only be assured if you follow the three tips outlined above.
