It is possible to simply improve your golf game with these 5 easy tips

It is possible to simply improve your golf game with these 5 easy tips

1. Addressing the Ball
The first way to simply improve your golf swing is to address the ball correctly. Many golfers just step up to the ball and start swinging, then they wonder why the ball doesn't go the right way. Let's take about a shoulder-width stance and stand with the half-way between your front and back foot. There are many ways to approach the ball, but this way is about average and will help get your swing going again. Also, make sure you can comfortably reach the ball, with your club, by bending your knees a little and some bend at the waist.

2. Rotate Your Hands
Put on a wrist watch for this drill. This will allow you to visualize what you need to do. When you are in your swing and you are pointing toward impact with the ball, the watch face should be pointing down the target line. Rotate the watch so that it is pointed at the ground. Pointing the watch down closes your club face, improves your impact zone, reducing the slice and adding speed to your swing. Keep your forearms together through the impact zone.

3. Practice your putting
So let's think about this for a minute....if you go and shoot 100 on 18 holes chances are you will have at least 40 putts. That means you will have used one club in your bag about 40% of the time. It should make perfect sense, then, if you want to improve your score improve your putting. Practice putting more and your score will drop.

4.Your Posture
You should begin by looking at your posture when you are taking the shot as this can make all the difference to your swing. Make sure that you are stood in a natural position and not overstretching in any way, keep your knees bent and feet apart - but not too far apart as this will lead you to being unsteady which will effect your swing.

5.Practicing
When practicing on the green, don't just randomly hit the ball. You should calculate the speed, distance, and direction of each hit to know what you need to what on to improve your swing. Use ball markers as targets rather than a hole. This will allow you to focus more on rolling the ball over the marker rather than sinking it.
