Chapter 4: The Important of Building Your Swing

Synopsis

Once you have a basic understanding of what type of gear to get and the basic rules of golf it is time for you to start working on and improving your golf swing. Many people make the mistake of trying to swing a golf club like it is a baseball bat and this never works in their favor. There is a certain level of power that must be applied by the golfer but in all honesty the club and your body creates much of the power, not your arms.

If you want to be able to impress people and conquer the course with impressive skills it is important that you work on your swing until it is nearly flawless. As mentioned before in this book, no matter what type of gear you have your game will still be off without a proper golf swing.

The following chapter will go over the basics of a golf swing and will provide you with some pointers that should help you improve your golf swing.

Improve Your Swing

Your golf swing is very important when it comes to your golf game, especially if you want to ever be good at the game. Your golf swing can be thought of kind of like your foundation for your golf game. Your skill level will never improve if you do not improve your foundation, or your swing. Perfecting a golf swing is not something that you will likely be able to do overnight. It will likely take a great deal of time and you will have to continue to work on it even after it is mastered to make sure it stays up to par. If you look you will notice that many golfers who are good at the game are constantly out on driving ranges working on their golf swings.

The following are some simple tips that you may want to consider trying in order to improve your golf swing.

Keep Your Hands Low

You want to try and keep your hands in a lower position while performing a golf swing. The reason for this is the fact that keeping your hands lower will result in the golf ball flying further in distance instead of higher into the air. Keep in mind, some situations will require you to pop the ball up high for a short amount of distance. But in most cases you want to be able to launch the ball far, especially when teeing off.

Use Your Body

As mentioned before, the power that you use to hit the golf ball should come from your body and not from your arms. Using your arms to generate the force for the swing will lead to decreased accuracy and low control of the golf ball.

Proper Body Stance

It is very important that you have the proper stance while you are trying to execute a golf swing. You should have your knees, feet, hips, shoulders, forearms as well as your eyes parallel to your target or the hole. You need to stand with your knees at least shoulder width apart to allow smooth body motions. You then want to flare your target foot about twenty to forty degrees to allow your body to rotate toward your target during your downswing. You want to make sure that your back foot is squared or ninety degrees to the target. Make sure that this foot is slightly open in order to ensure that your body can perform the proper hip turn during your downswing. People will have differences in how open their foot is because this will be determined by how flexible you are as well as how fast you are able to turn your body.

Ball Position

It is very important that you know where to place your ball before swinging. Different clubs call for different placements, either closer to or further away from the target foot. For example, drivers will be placed closer to the target foot while wedges will be further from the target foot and closer to the center of the body. Short irons should be played in the center portion of your stance and should not be closer to either one of your feet. These types of clubs must be swung with a steep angle and are good for when balls have a divot in front of them. Target irons should be placed one ball toward the target foot away from the center. These clubs have a shorter pop and do not need to be used to steeply. When using long irons you want to have the ball positioned two balls toward the target foot from center. The ball should also be hit on the bottom of the swing arc and there should be very little divot.

Place Your Weight on the Balls of Your Feet

To have a proper golf swing you will need to learn how to distribute your weight to the balls of your feet and off of your heels and your toes. When using short irons you want sixty percent of your weight to be on your target foot. You want to have your knees slightly bent and all weight on the balls of your feet as this will strengthen your balance and will result in a much better golf swing.

A lot of your golf swing is going to come down to hitting the driving ranges and practicing. However, if you apply a few of these tips you will surely begin to see improvements in no time at all.

Wrapping Up

Golfing can be a very fun experience. It offers something for everyone from those who are looking for an activity to do with their spare time or for those who just love to enjoy beautiful scenery. Those who enjoy other sports will surely enjoy golf for its beauty as well as its challenge. It can be quite fun to have a friendly competition between you and your buddies out on the golf course. If you practice enough you will surely impress them the next time you are out. Your golf buddies will truly be surprised when you go out on the course and dominate them and completely conquer the course.
