Improve Your Golf-5 Simple Steps

Golf as they say is not a game of perfect, there is simply not a perfect way to play it, if there was someone would have done it by now, taught everybody else and we could all find another hobby. The best you can do is play as well as YOU can and keep on refining your game little by little, rejoicing in the occasional triumphs and learning what you can from the mistakes, after all, at the end of the day you are only competing against yourself. It is your score that matters not anybody else’s. So read on for five little tips to up your game.

1; Buy some comfortable golf shoes. I cannot stress the importance of this too much. Sore feet are the worst and a discomfort like this will surely ruin your round. Wear two pairs of socks to avoid blisters and keep your tootsies dry and fresh.

2; Drink water. Even on the coolest days the exertion of playing golf, humping your bag and walking from tee to green will dehydrate you, sapping your energy and leaving you open to poor performance. Drink at least a litre of liquid during your round.

3; Walk as though you own the place, it is well attested that a confident upright stance will help your golf. Walking tall will allow you to breathe properly, expanding your chest but will also make you more alert and feel more confident. Even the illusion of confidence will make you feel confident, sounds ridiculous I know but it works. Try it.

4; if you hit a good shot, a rocketing drive straight down the fairway, a chip shot sixty yards to the pin or a forty foot putt, enjoy it, commit it to memory, remember it. If you duff your drive, spin the chip into the cabbage or miss a two foot tap in, FORGET IT.

5; Win or lose, always shake your playing partners hand and congratulate or commiserate as appropriate. No-one likes a bad loser. No-one likes a cocky winner; remember it is really only yourself you have to beat.

That’s about it for this little article except for two pieces of received wisdom:
Number one is this; the woods are full of long hitters and number two is this;
There is no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing. So to recap, wear good shoes, drink water, keep your head up, never fret about a poor shot, there is always another around the corner and be a good sportsman

Happy thoughts.
