Sex with many women helps. A lot.

 

:lol:

 

1.) Keep your head down.

2.) Follow through on your swing.

3.) Spend time at the driving range.

4.) Keep your head down.

Correct ball placement. Starting with the driver, the ball should be positioned at your left shoulder/front foot. As you are using lower clubs, keep moving the ball back, little by little so that when you're using your pitching wedge, the ball is closer to your back foot. The 7 iron should be almost dead middle between your front and back foot (this works for me, but everybody is different).

If you're gonna buy clubs, buy the cavity back irons, they're much more forgiving than blades.

Don't rush your shots, and try to temper the frustration.

Oh, and keep your head down.

 

don't shoot up the golf course fifty woods.

 

Quit now and save yourself a lot of money.

 

In your back yard, dig a hole the size of a hole on the green.

Eat all the cash you can find.

Take a crap into the hole.

It'll be quicker this way and less stressful.

 

Best golf advice ever.

 

one of the biggest challenges is being consistent with your swing. the one tip that helped me the most was keeping my head still. when your head sways it affects all your other mechanics, so once you can keep your head still you will be on the right path.

 

Tempo is really the #1 thing with golf. Make sure you warm up well and get a good tempo down.

Also don't try to do too much with your arms. They should stay relatively aligned with your body.

 

Hit the ball into the hole.

Drink lots of beer, tip the beer cart girl well, and chat her up. If the golf doesn't work out so well, maybe you can still go out for drinks later.... :lol:

If you are really looking for serious golf tips, my best advice is talk to a pro, get some lessons, and spend a lot of time at the range. No substitute for practice, but it's easier to start out with a basically good swing rather than to break bad habits later. In my opinion, until you get pretty good, the clubs don't matter nearly as much as most people think, so don't spend a boat load of $$ to start. Get a decent mid-range set fitted by someone who knows their business. And referencing an earlier post, the forged blades are hard to hit well, stay away until you get really good. They allow you to work the ball more and shape your shots, but until you can hit the ball cleanly and consistently, they just make you look bad. The cavity backs are more forgiving.

 

You need to get in a flow. Its like a carousel, you pay the quarter and it goes up and down and around. In a circle. Circular. The flow.

 

You'll never get better advice than this.

By the way, keep your head down.

No, seriously.

 

This is why Golf was a very frustrating game for me. I could hit a ball over 300 yards (no homo), but the chances of it going straight weren't very good (no homo again).

Once I figured out that I needed to cut down on my swing, and be a little more smooth, I got better results.

There are a lot of good tips on this site

 

tiger woods would say the same thing : )

 

-Do a smooth controlled swing, trying to kill the ball everytime will not help at all and cause all sorts of problems.

-Get the right posture, that's a huge factor in keeping your club on plane during the swing. It should feel like your trying to sit down on a chair.

-If you're right handed, keep your right elbow tucked in. Don't let it flare out and raise up. That will also help to keep the swing on plane and not get too handy/wristy in your swing.

-Try keeping your hands slightly ahead of the clubhead during the swing past contact. If your hands are behind the clubhead your natural reaction will be to flick at the ball. It's also harder to hit it straight and down on it when your hands are behind.

-Lastly, when you're just starting and have played baseball your natural reaction is to probably grip the club too hard and try murdering the ball. The fact is when you grip too hard and swing too hard you're actually swinging slower than a loose and free swing. So when you line up to the ball lift the clubhead off of the ground and then do your swing. It doesn't have to be too high off the ground, just enough so its up off the ground. What this does is it lets you grip the club just enough like you're supposed to and it also activates the muscles in your arms so you aren't all tense.

Hope these help!

 

Take lessons.

 

Find a field by your house. Go buy a bunch of cheap recycled balls and practice with your pitching wedge and 9 iron.

Once you get them consistent move up on clubs. Then proceed to the range.

Also go to crappy courses when first starting. Ones with 50yard wide fairways.


I still suck.

 

Yea lessons is pretty much the best bet if you have the cash. I highly recommend, if you have golfsmiths, to go there for them. They do a dvd breakdown, set goals and stuff. Pretty good.
