3 Tips For Women To Improve Their Golf Game

By Harvey Warner


When it comes to golfing, there are things that are different between female and male players that can have a big effect on the quality of the game. This is not to say that women play any better or worse than men when it comes to golf. It just means that women play differently than men. They sometimes must focus on enhancing different parts than men. This article will offer three tips that will help you play a much better game of golf.

If you want to become a better golfer, you have to stop making comparisons between yourself and other golfers. Women are usually more critical of themselves. They cannot help but to watch others are doing on the golf course and compare themselves to them. The problem is that you stop paying attention to what matters. Instead of concentrating on your own game, you're concentrating on everyone else's. Quite honestly, if you do not focus on your own shots, it will hinder your swing and impact your aim. Additionally, you need to remember that there will always be people on the golf course who play better than you. That has nothing to do with your being a woman. So, do not get put off and decide to quit. Just focus on your own game and enjoy yourself. Your game will improve significantly.

A common issue with female golf players is their grip. A good grip is essential to playing a great game of golf. This is because it makes sure that you have control over the golf club. Good control describes your shots that will be accurate and longer in distance. However, plenty of women will relax their grip at the beginning of the swing and re grip the golf club during the downswing in a quick manner. The problem is that this approach affects distance as well as control. One way to overcome this problem is to practice swinging only with one hand, your left. This will make you put a firm grip on your club or it will go flying away. If you continue to practice, you will see that gripping the ball becomes automatic to you.

If you have a wonderful putt, then a lot a golfers probably want to be like you. You have the game in your pocket. After all, if you have a great putt, it means that you always get a low score. However, what can you do if you putt is not this way? Well, things can be done such as getting your technique correct and possibly working on aligning your stance. In terms of how you are doing things, you want to ensure that everything is under control. Another way of saying it is that you have to have a controlling grip on your club, but is also has to be loose. It is also imperative to make sure that you hit the ball the in the same consistent manner. In terms of squaredness, it is critical that you are lined up square with your target. This means that your feet, forearms, eyes, hips and so on should be parallel to the target line.

As you can see, it takes quite a few factors to become a great golfer. However, the good news is that anyone can improve their game and give the pro's a run for their money. All you have to have is devotion to the game, a lot of effort, persistence and you will soon be a top pro.
