It's spring season again. If you are ready to try your hand at the golf course, the following ten easy-to-understand suggestions are worth reading. Even if you are already an old golf driver, you still need to remind yourself "not to forget the original intention".
1. Make sure to aim at the targetAlthough most amateur golfers understand the importance of aiming when playing, there are still many people who have problems with aiming, especially beginners. The aim here is not just your feet standing in the right position, but also your knees, hips, shoulders... Most people know how to aim correctly, but this does not mean that the ball will fly in the right direction, because During the swing process, beginners tend to subconsciously make up for swing mistakes, and they do not often check their routes, resulting in bad habits. Therefore, in every practice of the rest of your life, you must carefully check the route.
2. Maintain a good positionYou need to develop a wide, solid, stable and balanced stance from the beginning to ensure that it is correct before starting the swing. A good standing posture consists of the following parts: the proper width between the feet, the proper knee flexion, the angle of the feet, and the overall posture. Standing too narrow will block the power of the swing and it is not easy to maintain body balance. But too wide will hinder the shift of center of gravity, but will make the swing more swing.
3. Perfect postureAfter you aim at the target and stand well, the next step is to make a perfect swing. Everyone's body type is different, you don't need to look as good as a professional player. Golf swing is essentially a rotating movement around the central post-the central post is your spine. Maintain good spine curvature, and remember that this is not to focus on the waist, but to turn your hips to exert force.
4. Good grip habit
As long as you pick up the club, even if you are not hitting the ball, you need to maintain the correct grip. In the room, every time you pass your club, you may wish to hold it in your hand for 30 seconds, and soon you will find yourself integrated with the club. Many golfers tend to ignore the grip after playing for a while and form their so-called efficient and familiar posture. Changing the grip habit is very uncomfortable at the beginning, and even makes you feel that your skills have regressed in the short term, but in the long run it is good for you to play a more stable ball.
5. Use your buttocks power when you goAlmost every error in the lower shot starts with the upper body starting first, rather than exerting strength with the buttocks. You can imagine throwing a stone or a baseball, and feel the feeling that the lower body starts first and the upper body follows. How to start the next shot is the most important part of hitting the ball. If you start wrong, you will not only lose a lot of power, but also difficult to control the direction of the shot.
6. Practice correctly
Many golfers are in two states on and off the driving range. Remember, you must practice with a plan. Go to the driving range to play 50 balls before each end. Try to swing twice before each hit. Practice must last at least 30 minutes.
7. Use a club with a large loftUsing a short club with a large loft angle during practice will help you develop a good posture and increase confidence. Everyone will feel great when they see the ball flying high.
8. Leave the number one in the bagUse your wedge to start practicing until you can hit the ball steadily with a shorter club, then start using a longer, more difficult club. For golf beginners, it is best to avoid the number one in the first 18 months of playing.
9. Try to play par 3
Some short par 3 holes are ideal for beginners to develop interest and hone their skills. In this kind of court, beginners are not easy to lose the ball and can practice more short shot skills.
10. Review basic knowledge every monthAs your interest in golf grows, you will start reading some professional golf magazines and online knowledge of golf skills, but if you are not careful, you are more likely to fall into chasing different skills, and you will eventually get lost and leave your brain in conflict. So please stick to the above points and lay a solid foundation for yourself.
