15 Tips On Golf Swing Techniques

By: Mick Euan Tait Home |


Golf swing tips can be found online or you can invest in one of the many golf swing instruction e-books. Most of the tips on golf swing techniques go into a lot of detail - sometimes too much detail. What most golfers with a swing fault need are a few basic golf swing tips; whether it is to fix a slice or learn more about the short game in golf.

5 Tips on How to Drive Long Off the Tee

One of the best ways to score lower is to gain more golf distance off the tee. When you have a shorter distance to the green you have more chance to score par or better. Of course, you need accuracy as well as distance; otherwise you will be in a worse situation. Here are 5 quick and easy tips to help you drive long off the tee:

(1) Position the ball off your leading foot's instep and tee the ball up higher so that you hit the ball on the up-swing; (2) Resist trying to hit the ball with all your might - instead, use a steady rhythm and work on increasing your swing speed gradually; (3) Use the correct shaft flex for your swing speed - use a flexible shaft if you have a lower swing speed (stiffer for faster swing speed); (4) Cock your wrists early on the back-swing and release them just before impacting the ball; (5) On the backswing, turn your shoulders a full 90 degrees for maximum distance off the tee.

5 Tips on How to Master The Golf Irons

Mastering the golf irons is an often overlooked topic. You will find many resources available to help you improve your driving or putting but not much importance is placed on golf iron play. Learning to dominate your golf irons is easy with these 5 tips:

(1) Use the right iron for the distance you want to hit it and use a full swing; (2) Practice on the driving range to know your average distance with each golf iron in your bag; (3) Learn proper course management - going for the pin is sometimes not the best option; (4) Playing from the rough is different from playing from the fairway - you will need to adjust the ball position, stance, iron loft, and attack angle; (5) Take into account the wind strength and distance as well as other factors like height and slopes.

5 Tips on How to Improve The Golf Short Game

The golf short game is one of the most important areas of the golf game. Being able to hit long and accurate drives is all well and good, but if you can't chip the ball on the green, all that effort will be wasted. The short game of golf is where you really need to practice, so check out the following 5 tips:

(1) Use a slightly open stance and place your feet closer together; (2) Choose one club (7, 8, or 9 iron) and practice your chipping from different distances with it; (3) From under 50 yards, use a bump and run and get the ball rolling as soon as possible; (4) When playing over a hazard, use a more lofted club with a pitching swing; (5) The length of your backswing will determine the distance the ball will travel.

The three areas of the game that these tips above cover are important, but there are other areas that you will need to learn. They are learning how to cure a slice or hook (if you have these swing faults,) bunker or sand trap play, putting, and pitching. As golf is an all round game, you have to be proficient in every aspect of the game to succeed. You can't just concentrate on how to be a long drive champion; you have to practice with every club in your bag.
