Golf lessons are most effective when you first start playing. If you play golf today yet have terrible habits, you most likely picked them up when you first started. Excellent habits may be learned and bad habits can be broken by anyone, which is good news. Here are a few pointers to get you started on the path to becoming a great golfer.
- Your goal is quite significant. You won’t be able to get the ball into any of the holes if you can’t send it in the proper direction. The only thing that pushes the ball is the clubface, so align it with the target first before taking a stance with your shoulders parallel to it.
- Keep your distance from any potential issues. Put the ball in play on the problematic side. By doing so, penalties will be reduced and the ball will stay in play.
- Ninety percent of the time, a terrible wrist action results in a poor shot. Don’t swing the club back further than shoulder turn, and keep the left wrist flat in proportion to the back of the left forearm and the back of the left hand.
- Correctly read the green. Typically, a golf ball will roll away from a hill and toward some kind of water. So, bear this in mind and make the appropriate adjustments.
- The green’s grain is also significant because it affects how the ball rolls. Shiny grass accentuates grain that is moving away from you, while dull grass emphasizes grain that is moving in your direction. Putts made along the grain travel farther and faster. Those who go against the grain progress more slowly.

- You should align your shoulders with your swing. They should not take the initiative and should remain inactive. Keep in mind that how you move your shoulders will affect the path your club and, consequently, the ball take.
- Lay the golf ball on the ground and position yourself such that the ball is covered by your head’s shadow. Swing while paying attention to the shadow. If the shadow departs from the ball, the proper swing center has been lost. Even if the ball travels slightly, as long as you keep the shadow on it, you are still in the right swing position.
