How To Improve Your Golf Swing
Glen Miller
Golf is one of the few games in the whole world where less
is more. In other words, the lower you score, the better your
chances of winning. As any seasoned golfer will tell you,
the key to winning a golf game is all in the swing. As a rookie,
the first fact you should know is that a better swing will
make you a better golfer.
It is pertinent for a beginner to first learn the mechanics
of a golf swing but it should be the very last thing on his
mind when actually playing golf. To put it simply, a golfer
swings from memory and not from conscious thought. As a matter
of fact, the only time you should be paying attention to your
swinging technique is when you are learning a new motion and
are practicing it till you can convert it into a natural action.
When you are out on the driving range, you should put in a
conscious effort to fine-tune your swing by observing other,
more experienced players. However, when you are out on the
golf course playing a game, all your thoughts should be focused
on where you would like for the ball to land.
Here are a few tips to help you improve your game:
When you are taking your stance, pick out a spot on course,
preferably on the green or the fairway and concentrate on
hitting the ball so that it lands in the targeted region.
While you do this, make sure the thought of how to swing the
club doesn't lead your mind astray. Once you are successful
in keeping your eyes firmly on the target, you will be able
to block out any thoughts related to the technique of your
swing.
Of course, like everything else in life, this is a lot easier
said than done. It is almost mental torture to not think about
ones swing when swinging. And anyone who has tried to train
their mind as well as their swing at the same time will vouch
for this.
It is a fact that nine out of ten golfers have a very hard
time keeping their mind off their swing before hitting the
ball. Their minds are torn between thinking about where they
want the ball to land and how best to swing to get the best
leverage. And most of the time, golfers give in to the latter.
So, you can understand that learning this new method of target
golfing isn't exactly a walk in the park and will take some
time before you can get used to it. So, remember to practice
this technique for about a month or so, preferably on the
practice tee and soon you will see the fantastic difference
it makes in your golf game out on the course.
