Need Solid Golf Advice? Well, You've Come To The Right Place!
The game of golf is more than just sinking a putt. Getting a good score in golf is a matter of refining your body, concentration, and club-handling skills. Keep reading for guidance on how to improve your game.

Don't use a golf cart to go from one hole to another. Walk instead. This will exponentially increase the amount of exercise that you get on the course, and turn it into an extremely beneficial way to improve your health! If you walk, your muscles will be more flexible than if you ride. Flexibility helps your golf swing and the accuracy of your shots.

Learn how to hold your club correctly from the first time you play. Beginners often grip the club too hard, thinking that they will hit the ball further that way. A firm, yet soft, grip works better. Hold the club with a very delicate grip, as if you were holding a baby bird or a child.

Use the entire body for power when swinging the golf club. Just relying on arm strength, as novices tend to do, will not produce a strong, smooth swing. Moving the whole body with the club motion is much more effective.

Wiggling your toes while getting ready to swing will tell you if your posture is correct. If your feet have freedom to move around without any effort or resistance, you're probably too far back from the ball. Lean forward, toward the ball. You should still be able to move your feet slightly.

Always stretch your muscles before and after your golf game, and always stay hydrated. As with any sport, better physical conditioning can lead to better performance.

Hold your golf clubs with neutral grips. Holding your club too tightly will veer your shots to the right of where you want them to land. Conversely, if you're holding your golf club too loosely, your ball will veer to the left. If you have the right grip, you can control the direction your ball will go in.

The art of golf is one that can be enjoyed by everyone, but only those very serious into it will try to perfect their perfect swing every chance that they get. Now that you have more knowledge on golf skills, you can work to become a good golfer, too.
