Three Suggestions for Beginning Golf Players

By Mark Stephens


It seems that everyone who has played golf at least once gets bitten by the golfing bug and can't wait to start playing this very popular game. It is a competitive game that everyone can play, but it is not backbreaking. Whether you are a complete beginner, or have been playing a while but can't seem to improve, you should consider getting lessons. This is because a professional will know exactly which areas of your game you need to improve. This is because he or she will look at your game from an impartial position. Also, a pro can bring to your attention any bad habits that you are doing. He can help you to fix them. However, make sure that you are upfront about little problems, your goals or any issues that you are having when making your shots. Also, you must make sure that your instructor is clear about how you like to be taught things. Do you like to see it first and then copy it? Or, do you just want him to tell how it's done? Your preference does not matter.

Serious golfers need to have the right equipment so that needs to be your first step. This includes the right balls for the game as well as appropriate clothing to wear. You'll find two general types of balls to choose from: two-piece and three-piece. Beginning golfers are better off using two-piece balls and three-piece balls are a good choice for more advanced players. Don't make the mistake of moving on to the three-piece ball before you've developed more advanced skills at the game of golf. The important thing to keep in mind when it comes to proper golf attire is that it shouldn't interfere with the range of motion required to properly swing. Wearing a tight fitting jacket, for example, will interfere with your ability to make beautiful drives that seem to go on forever.

Finding clothing to wear that doesn't hamper your ability to swing is your main concern. If you're wearing a tight jacket, you won't be able to swing far enough for those long shots you love to watch on television. It is also important to understand the purpose of each club if you want to play a good game of golf. For instance, a driver is used to gain the most distance and can boost the ball as far away as 230 yards for men and 200 for women.

A 7 iron should be applied when you need to get a 140 yard shot for men and 120 yard shot for women. As you might know, if you do not know anything about your clubs, you will never play a good game of golf. If you don't know that an 8 iron won't send your ball further than 130 yards and use it for a 200-yard shot, then you are going to be frustrated when you can't get the ball to go as far as you want. Having a great golf swing is the key to having a great golf game. Mastering the golf swing involves many factors. But one of these aspects consists of obtaining the proper aim.

Whether you desire to do it on your own or get an instructor to help you, these tips will help you in the end. Keep in mind that your game will pick up when you are not as stressed. So, do not get all worked up about little things. Besides, you want the game to be fun.
