Beginner Golf

So you ve hit a few balls and you are thinking of taking up golf. Or maybe you ve been playing for years and you would like to find a way to improve. Whether you are a seasoned Tour pro, a raw beginner, or anyone in between, at some point you will likely wonder if you should invest in some golf lessons.

Golf is a complex game where so many elements of the golf swing are interconnected. One minute aspect of your swing can impact the results dramatically. Because we can not see ourselves in action, we have to rely on others to view our swings and give us feedback, yet so many of us are willing to entrust that responsibility

to our friends and playing partners, most of whom are completely unqualified to offer such advice. Instead of professional feedback that we would receive during golf lessons, we are told the famous golf axioms; keep your head still, keep your arm straight, so on, and so forth.

Golf is considered to be one of the most popular sports in the world just like tennis or basketball that is often shown on television. Although not everyone can be like Tiger Woods or one of the world’s best, it does not mean the player cannot learn some secrets and play a good game.

You simply can not play to your maximum every time you think about the mechanics of your swing. Period. Every time you are ready to hit your shot and think about all the golf techniques that you learned, you become all confused.

We are programmed to play with our faults and fixes and try to remember all steps before even placing our golf ball on the tee. We don t have to analyze the aspect of the swing. Of course, for beginners, I suggest taking at least one course to learn the basics but not 20, unless you

want to become a professional. Remember on my previous article on ezinearticles.com, that average golfers plays less then 10 games per year. All they want is to have fun in the fairway.

The world’s population may be 10 to 15% lefties, but there are not many left-handed golfers. The main reason is that most of them prefer to stick to right-handed golf. In addition, it used to be quite difficult to come across left-handed instruction manuals and left-handed golf clubs.

But that is a thing of the past now, since more and more golf instruction manuals are being targeted to lefties. The top coach Steve Anderson has authored the book ‘On the Other Hand’, which is meant for left-handed golfers. Bob Charles is one of the best left-handed golfers in the world and he has put together an instruction video, the only one of its kind, to give insight on how he achieved

success as a lefty golfer. The game of golf also lays stress on playing it more with your eyes than your hands.
