The game of golf is a relatively easy concept; you take a ball, hit it with a club and try to get it into the hole in the least amount of strokes possible. The only problem is it is a deceptively difficult task. When attempting to play golf and play well you must first develop a good repeatable swing. In order to help you perfect your swing take a look at these golf secrets revealed.
First, let me tell you that it is much easier to learn the golf swing correctly to begin with than it is to correct bad habits that you have learned. So take the time and learn the basic correctly. Unfortunately, what most people do is listen to everyone else around them, quit it! This is the worse way in the world to perfect your golf swing; the operative word here is "your".
Nobody else's swing will be exactly like yours and there are many reasons for it. One reason is because there are so many different body types. Someone that is tall and lanky will not have near the same swing of someone short and stocky, your bodies just cannot function the same way. So the biggest tip for golf swing perfection is to learn the ways most effective for your body type.
To many people worry about the more technical aspect of a golf swing and forget the basics. If your basic set up is not properly done, you will never get a swing that is good and repeatable. So work on your set up routine, this will quickly correct many of the problems you have in your swing.
If you are not set up correctly, your body cannot function properly. You will not get the proper torque with your take away and your hands will not be in the correct position. These will inhibit your down swing. Your hips will get blocked and your hands will not release correctly upon impact and that is why many golfers "throw the club". All of this can be fixed in one simple step, learning how to properly align yourself with the target.
I cannot tell you how many problems you will fix by just properly aligning yourself. I am sure you are thinking that you already do, but most golfers have gotten into such bad habits that poor alignment feels natural. In fact, most people who constantly complain about a slice could correct it in a matter of minutes just by getting set up correctly in the first place.
Here is how you do it, correctly. After you have teed up the ball, stand directly behind it about five feet, so that you are looking directly at your target, pick a spot to aim at. Walk around to your left and get even with the ball. Find your spot and then place the club behind the ball and aim it towards your target. Once you have done that then bring your feet in and put them together and square up to the clubface. Then take a your left foot and move it forward towards the target your back foot should then be moved away from the target. Now you are properly squared to the ball and your swing will begin to work for you properly. More than likely it will feel awkward at first because you have been doing it incorrectly for so long. For you lefties, just reverse the instructions.
There are a few tips to help you gain golf swing perfection. Set yourself up correctly and you will be pleasantly surprised on how everything else will fall in to place. Have fun, go low, and keep it in the short grass.
