“I got my first lesson from Greg Norman.” Those words are usually from a friend, or family member, who took a golf lesson with Greg Norman. Most of us have had the experience where we drove by a pro-shop and the voice over the radio says “Come on in and take a golf lesson.” Before we get out our door we ask ourselves questions such as “Who’s that guy?”
The number one question most people have is “When is he going to give me one of those great golf lesson secrets?” My answer for most people is this, if it is such a great golf secret, why don’t more golf pros use it? Don’t they all know what it is? So if it such a great thing why do they not teach it?
The top 5 golf tips that I give to almost every single client I sign up with are simple. You need to know your fundamentals. Once you understand your fundamentals you will then start to become an amateur golfer. Amateur is two years old and if you are playing the same old stuff you should already be out of your league. You need to begin to play golf like a pro.
Next you want to become a streak detector. If you streak your way to the green all day long, you will have a lot of fun, but also a lot of trouble getting that darn ball in the hole. When you streak you tend to swing at the ball and knock it straight or fade it a little. This will actually cause you to loose strokes and take strokes off your game.
Another golf tip I give all of my students is to relax. Relax when you swing. Tense muscles will lead to you having tense muscles. When you tense up you also tense up your body which results in your shots flying way short of where you intended them to go.
Another really cool golf tip that might seem a little too easy is to try to get comfortable as you approach the golf ball. When you approach the ball you need to just let yourself get relaxed and you’ll be all right. Trust me.
And the last golf tip that you need to listen to is to relax. If you think you’re going to tense up or tighten up your body when you swing a golf club, you’re wrong! Stifle your instinct and just let yourself relax. Trust me; it will pay off for you big time in the long run.
That is the top 5 golf tip that I can give you. Try these two tonight. They will help you play much better golf. Just remember, you have to keep practicing and you have to believe that you can do it. I promise you that if you keep plugging away like that, sooner or later you will turn into a serious golfer like me!
This is the next golf tip that I have for you. This is what will make the difference between just another player and a great player on the PGA tour. When you have a solid, consistent golf swing, it will translate over to your game. This is the single most important golf tip that you can get.
This may seem like a simple thing to say, but many players don’t understand it until they’ve actually gone out and done it. I had a guy come up to me at a coffee shop the other day and ask me what my secret is. I told him that I wasn’t a big fan of just swinging my club as hard as I could. I wanted to swing it harder and hit a sweet spot. This allowed me to use my shoulders and hips to putt the ball better and save myself more strokes.
The point of this little golf tip is to allow you to create more wrist action and generate more power from your golf shot. You’re probably wondering by now if that has anything to do with getting better golf shots, but it does. It will also allow you to generate more lag in your game, which is what you need to get a great score.
Now that you know these two important golf tips, you can go out there and play golf without any worries about improving your game. I would just suggest getting a couple of these golf tips before you start playing. Not everything will work for you, so don’t get too excited when you see this tip. Just try them out and you should notice a change in your game immediately.
