Improving you golf game

Better Golfing

Many of us would love to know how to play better golf, there are two basic things to know.
Play often and stay in shape, fitness to day is a vary important part of the game if you watch golf
On TV today almost all the pro’s have a fitness trainer.

I know what your thinking (ya no kidding) but its true is it not? How many times do you golf ? how many times do you have to do anything to get really good at it? If you can’t get out on the course then go to the range and swing and swing. Ok the swing.. Your golf swing is not a natural movement, but a twisting rotational movement that your muscles are not naturally designed to do. In order to get comfortable with your golf swing your mussels will have to get used the this movement have you heard of muscle memory? Most people can’t even get past the part of getting your body used to the swinging the club there for they can’t even begin to improve there swing.

The major muscle groups used in swinging a golf club are huge, back, legs, neck, butt and shoulders
The key is developing flexibility and strength in those muscle groups and I can not stress flexibility enough
If you can stretch and keep your muscles flexible at the same rate that you develop strength you will have the power and the smoothness you need for a great golf swing


Do not use conventional strength training

Normal weight training does not work well for golfing because of the unique way your muscles are used during a golf
Swing, a normal swing with some resistance can do the trick or a weighted club can help as well.
Another good way is to sit on a chair, with a straight back and head up, holding a weighted medicine ball, and then swing your arms from side to side as far as you can, you will develop strength and flexibility in your back and shoulder muscles.
The goal is to increase strength and flexibility so you can swing effortlessly with felling any pain or discomfort
And then you can concentrate on your swing with out you body telling you that your golf swing is not a natural movement

Practice - Practice - Practice

This is simple but it sometimes is the hardest thing to do if you cant get out on the coarse go to the driving rang for a 1/2 hour if you can’t get the driving range hit ball’s into a net in the back yard if you can’t do that just swing the club in the back yard. Once you get over the hump of your body telling you that you golf swing is not a natural movement
And you develop some flexibility you will be amazed at how fast you game will improve.

There are two other often overlooked ways of improving your golf game: Only a small fraction of golfers ever take lessons, and that’s a shame, because a trained golf teacher can quickly spot flaws in your swing that you are totally unaware of.


Come to Grips with your Grips

One of the most important part of your golf swing is your grip and you will have spent many hours over your golfing life trying to get it right but perhaps the most overlooked aspect of equipment in your golf bag is the golf club grip itself.
If you do not feel comfortable with you club in you hand it may be your grip’s try different kinds of grip
You will truly be amazed at how a different grip can increase your comfort level.
If you think about it your club's grip is your only connection to the golf club but most golfers don't generally give the club grip a second thought.
