Methods To Lower Your Golf Handicap

Methods To Lower Your Golf Handicap

Article by A R Bell







Most amateur golfers are in envy of the professional players. I know that I am. You seen them swinging just like you do but they can hit the ball over 300 yards, get the ball to spin back to the hole and get out of bunkers the first time without digging themselves a big sand pit, whilst you are always looking for ways to lower your golf score.

As I said before I’m just an amateur golfer but here are some of the tips that I have used to improve my game.

Practice regularly

Now I know that this may be obvious, but people who play golf expect to play just as good as they did in their last round. When you have not practiced between rounds you can lose they rhythm which you had and have to start again when you start another round.

Don’t try and hit the ball too hard,

A nice steady easy swing can hit the ball just as far, just because it works for some of the pro’s it might not work for you and if you try to hit the ball too hard you can go off balance.

If you find that you are slicing the ball, pull you left foot slightly back. (only try this in practice as this could effect your round if you do not need to change) If you find that you are hooking the ball, your right hand may be too far round on your grip, forcing your hands to roll over at the end of your swing. Putting, always always practice your putting. This can take up to double figures off your round and is one of the top ways to lower your golf scor, by stopping you 3 and maybe 4 putting on the greens.

Or alternatively you could have lessons which I did and they made me worse. I would struggle to get the ball past the peak of my cap never mind splitting the fair way in half which is what the instructor said I would. Now this may not be the same for everyone, but not everyone can afford golf lessons.

improve your fitness

In the game of golf you use muscles which are not always used in every day activities so these can damage your round This aspect is very important as your swing can deteriorate as your round goes on if you start to tire. If your legs,back or arms start to ache you are not going to achieve the maximum power and acuracy from your swing. Before your round you need to stretch properly and warm up before each round. If you start a round cold you could pull or over stretch which could stop you playing until you have healed properly.

How to fix a golf slice-3 Golf Slice Cures

Article by Terry Gorry







In this article I am going to give you 3 cures to help you fix a golf slice. It is one of the major frustrations of 80% of golfers worldwide and costs a huge amount in the distance your ball travels.

Secret 1-Fix your set up

It is no secret that standing open in your set up will promote an out to in swing which in turn will give you that dreaded distance sapping slice.So make sure that your set up and alignment are spot on ie place a club along your toe line and make sure that it is running parallel, like rail tracks, with an imaginary line from your ball to the target.Initially you can even exaggerate this to fix your slice by standing a little closed ie with your right foot drawn back behind the left so that the line would be pointing right of the target.

Secret 2- Get a proper grip

For many starter golfers and even more accomplished players the grip, if it is too weak/neutral, can mean that coming in to impact your clubface is wide open..not square which will lead to a slice.Consider using a strong grip until you have rid yourself of the slice. By this I mean with your hands turned more to your right shoulder. This should encourage the clubface to square up earlier in the downswing and produce a ground gobbling draw.

Secret 3- Swing from in to out or in to square, not from out to in.

If the ball target line points at 12 o’clock on an imaginary clock, then you need to think about swinging towards 2 o’clock.

If you go to the range and work on these tips, you will lose your distance sapping slice/fade and be playing with a distance gaining draw very soon..and be the envy of your friends.
