One of the hardest parts of golf is learning how to swing a golf club correctly. Many people think that the harder you swing, the stronger the ball will go. This results in beginning golfers breaking golf clubs or destroying the dirt below the tee. With these tips, you can learn how to swing the golf club correctly and break an 80 score. Here are the basics.
No matter how many different swings you’ve seen taught, the basics of swinging a golf club are all the same. To start your swing you need to know how to grip the club. Your hands should be as close together as possible while still being comfortable. Getting a grip that helps position your hands is a good option, even some of the pros use that grip.
The second part of swinging a golf club is perfecting your stance. Begin by slightly bending your knees and lean forward from your hips. This will put you at a 30 degree angle to the ball. For most people this will feel natural and even comfortable, but there is a population for whom this will not feel right. You should be able to turn easily from that position.
When it comes to moving your arms, you don’t want to lock your arms. Make sure your left arm stays straight while your right arm is bent. As you pull back, keep your left arm straight. At the top of your swing, your right elbow should point toward the ground.
As your club flows toward the ball, you must keep your eyes on the ball. If your eyes leave the ball, your golf club will be misaligned. Once your club hits the ball, don’t look up, you should continue your swing. Your club should return to the forward apex of your front swing. Once the club has reached the top of the swing, you can look up to see where the ball has gone.
Once you’ve mastered your golf swing, you’re ready to continue learning more about the game of golf. You can learn different types of swings and aim better. From there, you can move on to taking more complicated shots and controlling your distance even more, and you can play like a pro. Always learn each step from the bottom of your heart.
