Improving Your Golf Swing - 3 Keys to Lower Scores

Improving Your Golf Swing - 3 Keys to Lower Scores

1. Correct your golf slice
To be the best player you can be and to improve your golf swing you need to hit a draw (unless you are one of the few golfers who can hit a power fade). 80% of golfers worldwide slice the ball and lose huge amounts of distance as a result. They say that the hardest shot to play in golf is a straight one so if you are going to bend the ball one way or the other..make sure it is not that old banana ball because you will leak distance, right through your bag..with every club.

2. Sort out your fundamentals
And improving golf swing is one built on sound fundamental which are grip, alignment, posture and set up or stance. If you don't pay assiduous attention to these fundamentals your swing will always have to make corrective moves to compensate. And that is not a recipe for consistency or lower scores. Particularly when the adrenaline is pumping and you really want to hit a big one. So take your time and work honestly on your fundamentals and give yourself the best chance of improving your golf swing.

3. Rhythm
Work on your rhythm. Even a bad swing with a good rhythm can work..but a bad swing with bad rhythm is disastrous. So practice with rhythm in mind and resist the temptation to rush your downswing or lunge at the ball from the top of the backswing. Counting 'one' on the backswing and '2' as you swing through impact will help you improve your rhythm to the point where you will train it and trust it.
