Key Golf Tips to Remember If Your Game Gets Off Track
How many times have you gone to the driving range and hit shot after shot perfectly? “Finally!” you would say to yourself, “I get it…I can’t wait to take play my next round of golf!” You rush home and scribble down a list of key notes for your own “definitive swing” and know if you simple stick to the principles on that list, then you are destined for golf stardom. Soon afterward, you play your next round. Four hours of slices, fat shots, thin shots, hooks and shanks later, you leave the golf course frustrated. During your round, you went through your long list of notes and nothing seemed to work. You say to yourself, “why can’t I take my practice range with me to the course?”
This scenario has happened to all of us, including tour golfers, teaching pros, advanced golfer and novice golfers. However the difference between pro and advanced golfers and novice golfers is that when their golf swing inevitably goes awry, they do not go through a laundry list of golf tips to fix the problem. The golf tips that they do turn to, however, are rather simple set of tried and true golf tips to minimize the damage, relax the body and continue through the round. It is after the round when pro and advanced golfers work on their swing mechanics.
So when you are struggling with your golf game mightily and racking your brain on all the things you can be doing wrong (which results in more confusion and tension and even worse shots), here are a few fundamental golf tips that can really improve your game as you play, even if your golf swing has gotten wildly off track.
GOLF TIP 1: RELAX
You can have the best golf swing in the world, but if you are too uptight and introduce tension into your swing, you are doomed. The majority of errant golf shots are simply the result of tension in the swing. So, when your game is going downhill, take a few deep breaths and relax. To check that you are relaxed, here is quick golf tip. Check your grip. On a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 is “loose” and 10 is “tight,” strive for a 5.
GOLF TIP 2: MAKE SOLID CONTACT WITH THE BALL
If you find you are hitting the ball short, fat, thin, left and right, then on your next shot, relax, take more club, shorten your swing and simply ensure that you are making solid contact with the ball. Don’t worry about the distance of the shot, just re-engage your confidence and the feeling you get when you make solid contact. Do that for a few shots and you will be amazed at how quickly your swing gets back in line.
GOLF TIP 3: RE-ESTABLISH YOUR TEMPO
If you are spraying your shots everywhere, check your tempo. Are you bringing the club back too fast? Did you hurry through your shot? Is your body and weight transfer out of sync? If any of these conditions apply, then what is ailing you is your tempo. So, before your next shot, slow your swing down and take several practice swings, focusing on clipping the grass. Think “Slow Back, Fast Forward” and work on getting your body and swing tempo in sync.
Chances are when you were hitting the golf ball like a tour pro on the range, you were already incorporating the golf tips above into your swing without even knowing it. So, when your swing goes awry on the course, if you remember to relax, ensure solid contact and re-establish your tempo, your golf game will get back on track in a hurry.
