I need tips on golfing. I am a beginner female!?
I went to the driving range for my first shot at golfing yesterday. I want to be able to keep up with my boyfriend who golfs. Here’s the thing…yes I stink so far, my hand eye coordination is not up to par…besides getting really mad at that haha, I have a problem. I am very chesty…I mean I am about 38 DDD….yes they are annoying, but I try not to let it stop me from doing fun things….so when I go to swing my biceps prevent me from really pulling back for a good swing.
Does anyone male or female have any advice for me? Also since my bf is not very good at explaining this…anyone have any other kind of advice for a new golfer? He said I was good at hitting the ball straight, but I didn’t really get past 75yds. I want to like this, but I need help first!!!
Thank you!!!
Kudos to you for seeking help to improve your game. As you get more and more into the game of golf you are going to realize that it is a lifetime journey. The golfswing must be learned, and improved over time, so be patient and enjoy the journey.
I would encourage to take a lesson every few weeks and work on what the pro tells you. also, there is a great little book that is easy to read and understand and is a must for getting the right information for the golfswing. 5 playing lessons by ben hogan. simple to understand, and correct information without all the opinions you will get from golfers on the range and on YA.
Also, if you are really concerned about your chest affecting your game, and some women are, get a good sports bra, and that may make you feel more confident. truth is, a woman’s chest has little impact on her swing.
Specific tips….pick out a single dimple on your golf ball when you are about to hit it, and focus on that dimple all the way through impact. second, when you adress the ball, take the club away as slowly as possible, like you are in slow motion. how slowly you take the club has no bearing on how fast you can swing through the ball, but it will help you be in the correct position to hit the ball squarely. finally, enjoy being out there. sure it is more fun when you play well, but this game is about being out there and playing properly and with courtesy and integrity, not just about winning.
Good luck to you. Hope to hear how your game is going.
