Wiggling the toes may offer insight into problems with one's golf stance. If it's hard to wiggle the toes at the beginning of the swing, the golfer is leaning in to the ball too far. Proper posture is incredibly important when swinging. To find the right posture, try gently leaning back until your feet feel comfortable and aligned.

 

A good golf tip is to relax, have fun and not be so serious on the course. Mistakes will happen and you need to have the ability to laugh about them or about yourself, and this will lead to you relaxing, which will help you overcome the mistakes.

 

When your ball is in a fairway bunker, a good rule of thumb is to figure out what club you would normally hit at the distance you are away from the hole and then take two clubs more. The sand deadens your shot, and by taking more club than you would normally hit, you will end up on the green.

 

If you have to hit an uphill sand shot you should put the ball forward in your stance. Make a long fluid swing parallel to the slope. By playing the ball forward, you lower the trajectory of the ball and help ensure the ball will carry far enough onto the green to make your putt.

 

A helpful tip when it comes to golf is to make sure you can have fun with it. Play a full game on the course but do not keep score. You may find that this relaxes you and causes you to play much better. After all, it is supposed to be a game.

 

Try to stretch and get plenty of water before you start playing. Staying in good shape can benefit your golf game directly.

 

When performing a golf swing, the right leg is the root of everything. It's essential to keep weight on your right leg, with the knee slightly bent, during the back swing. If your right leg is weak, it means a major lack of power. Imagine your knee braced against a solid wall while swinging.

 

If you want to increase the distance of your drive, use a ball color that really contrasts against your pants and shoes. When you are looking down at it, you will quickly instinctively think "I need to get this thing out of here". It's not about whacking the ball harder, but meshing with your own clothes psychologically so you use your whole body in the swing like you know you should.

 

As was previously stated, golf can be a great sport for anyone to get into. It takes a little knowledge to learn the basics so that you can start playing correctly, but you don't have to become the next Tiger Woods if you don't want to. Just keep those tips in mind and enjoy yourself!
