How Can I Improve My Golf Swing?
With the new year upon us most golfers will be soon turning their minds to the new golfing year. We are completely surrounded by a huge snow fall here in the UK but still I am thinking about one thing. How can I improve my golf swing. Here are some tips gleaned from my very patient golf coach that have helped me improve my swing over the last 2 years.
Golf Swing And Distance
Watching John Daly, Tiger Woods and other superb long hitters give us amateur golfers the desire to hit the golf ball long distances. And this is the first golf tip. Your long distance golf swing goals must increase in small steps. I remember playing a 4 ball where one of the players was playing off 6 handicap. His big advantage was reaching greens in 2 when I was taking 3 or 4 shots. This made me want to hit the golf ball the distance he did.
Instead of trying to increase my distance gradually with the help of my coach I just started swinging faster and longer. The results were a disaster and I even missed the ball completely on a couple of occasions. The thing to do is to find a regular swing and then try to add 5 metres to it.
Golf Swing Speed
I have found that slowing down my golf swing brings back control over my golf shots. A second benefit is that I hit the sweet spot more often with the club and the ball travels further. This seems counter intuitive but is definitely true.
In the early days I had a painfully slow swing that had my golfing partners almost laughing. But while they were hitting and losing balls I was on the fairway. I was a bit further back in distance but they took more shots to reach the green.
So to improve your golf swing I recommend you slow down your swing speed and hit the ball accurately. You can then pile on the yards in the next year in 5 metre steps.
