New golfers quickly realize how difficult it is to learn the game. While one or two excellent shots might be enough to keep a golfer coming back for more, it takes a lot more to allow a golfer to hit the ball well consistently. Some basic tips will help a golfer get more out of each round of golf.
Proper Alignment
The proper way to align your shot is to get behind the ball and assess your target. Then put the club head directly behind the ball, aimed precisely at the target. Then take your stance and make sure the club head remains in the same position. This is how the pros align their shots and that is how you should as well. It will ensure that you are lined up properly.
Consistent Stance
Many golfers think they have to adjust their stance depending on which club they use. There is no need to adjust your stance if you are taking a full swing. This means that if you are hitting a full 9-iron you will take the same stance as you would if you were hitting a full 3-wood. Make sure your feet are shoulder-width apart and your knees are bent in an athletic position. This will allow the easy transfer of your weight. You won't use the same stance if you are taking a half swing, but a full swing requires a consistent stance.
Power Wrist Snap
In order to get maximum distance on your shots, get your bottom hand involved when you make contact with the ball. If you are a right-handed golfer, your left side will lead you into the swing. But don't let your ride hand just go along for the right. At the instant you make impact, you need to snap your wrist to get full power on your shot. You are not trying to "kill" the ball. Instead, you are trying to get maximum power while maintaining form.
