Practice
Yes this one is standard but we need to state the obvious, practice is the key to perfection, and quality not quantity is the key! One hour a day four or five times a week will show dramatic improvements in your game. You will grow stronger and become more familiar with your abilities.
Attitude
Golf is described as the gentleman’s game; players that keep their cool and don’t get affected by frustration are successful! How ever disappointed or annoyed you are, remember to move on, what is done is done and if you don’t move past your anger, it will cloud your judgement for each and every other shot you take! Maintain a positive head for the entire round of golf. Stay confident; believe in your abilities.
Getting a Grip
There are many factors that will affect your golf grip, the size of your hands, the strength of your forearms, the actual grip on your club to name a few.
A range of grip thicknesses are available to fit on to your clubs, choose one which makes your hand grip feel most comfortable and secure. To tackle strength, do some light weight exercises. The size of your hands can’t be modified, but you can choose a grip position better suited to your hand type,
popular choices include the Vardon Overlap Grip, Interlocking Grip and the Ten Finger Grip.
The Backswing It is essential that you start correctly or the whole swing will be negatively effected, remember if you are right handed to keep the left arm straight (vice versa if you are left handed) during the backswing, and really go back as far as you can with out bending your arm, this setting you up in good stead for a powerful down swing.
Downswing
Timing is key for a great down swing; you are trying to gradually increase the speed of your swing from beginning to end of your follow through. A straight back solid stance and focused mind will all improve your back swing and the length of your drive.
