GOLF TIPS FOR THE GOLFER

EQUIPMENT DISCOUNT GOLF SETS ON EBAY

When playing golf a highly skilled player could go out and shoot a very good score with just about any set of golf clubs. They have enough feel and experience to make adjustments and adapt to the performance differences between golf clubs quickly. For a middle to high handicap player, however, having golf equipment that is properly fitted to their physique and capabilities is more crucial. No matter what your handicap or skill level, having the right golf clubs is one more thing you can do to give yourself the best possible chance of playing golf well. There are many different variables in club fitting (swingweight, golf club length, grip size, grip material, golf shaft flex, shaft material, loft and lie, golf clubhead style, golf clubhead material, and so on).

Many people complain about not being able to hit the golf ball well with their golf woods, and in particular their driver. From what I've seen poor quality contact is a major problem for many golf players. Put a golf tee in the ground (without a ball) sticking up approximately 1 inch. You should be able to strike the tee consistently without hitting, or even brushing, the ground at all. If you miss the golf tee, or touch the ground in any way, don't wonder any longer why you can't hit your golf driver. Remember--the longer the golf club, the more precision required. Practice this exercise until you can consistently clip the tee without touching the ground (or even the grass). Once you get quality contact handled the feedback you get from your shots becomes meaningful. Then you can work on directional control.

A very important factor in striking the golf ball solidly and consistently with your golf irons is getting the "bottom" of your swing in front of the golf ball (i.e., the lowest spot in the swing's arc on the target side of the ball--see picture). This promotes contacting the golf ball before the ground (this is a good idea). You can develop a feel for this by scratching a line on the ground with a tee, or making a row of tees spaced about 6 inches apart, perpendicular to your target line. Straddle the line and take divots until you consistently make the divots in front of (toward the target from) the line, or row of golf tees. You can certainly hit golf balls this way too -- with the golf balls on the line or between each of the golf tees. Once you can do this you'll hit your golf iron shots much more solidly and with more control.

Do you want to be a good putter? Here are some basic fundamentals you should be practicing. Get a golf putter with a very distinct line marked on it to indicate the target line and practice with a chalk line. You can get a chalk line at any diy store for a few pounds, and it's as valuable a training aid as there is anywhere. Find a putt on the practice green that is straight. Snap a chalk line down from about 5 or 6 feet to the middle of the cup. Make sure that the entire length of the line on your golf putter is exactly on the chalk line. Start making putts. This will train your eyes to "see square" precisely. Keep your the pressure in your hands soft and constant throughout the stroke. Sensitivity is obviously a huge part of putting. If your hands are tight on the golf grip you are diminishing your sensitivity - period. Also, if your grip pressure changes during the stroke, it's probably not "a stroke" but more likely a jab, flinch, spasm, push, hit ... well, you understand - best of luck. There is no independent action in the hands. Nothing could be more logical: If you do indeed have the golf putter face aligned precisely, as in the first point above, the last thing you'd want to do is to change the position of the face. Therefore, your hands should not be moving independently of your arms and shoulders. If you can't tell if your hands are moving, as a drill try watching your hands very carefully (instead of the ball) a few times. You'll be able to see quite easily whether or not they are moving in your stroke. There are more (endless) details about putting, of course, but if you turn these fundamental concepts into habits it will take you a long way toward being a consistently good putter of the golf ball.

The chip and run should be the workhorse of your golf short game. It is the most reliable golf shot around the green. I would estimate that at least 95% of any golf short game shots (from within 20 yards of the edge of the green) are played with a chip and run, and the other 5% include putts from off the green, pitches, and bunker shots. Getting the golf ball on the ground and rolling as soon as possible greatly increases the chances of the golf ball's behavior being predictable. That is not to say that a chip and run is always very low to the ground...just as low as possible. A chip and run style golf shot can be played with the most lofted wedge in your golf bag, in which case some people might refer to the shot as a "pitch and run." In many cases where the average golfer tries to pitch the golf ball up in the air, the "risk vs. reward" and the uncontrollable nature of a pitch (especially from a marginal lie) make it a poor choice.

Short Game General Rules:

*Putt whenever feasible (i.e., IF the golf ball will roll rather than bounce) *Chip and run when you can't putt *Pitch only when you have no choice with the lie of your golf ball.
