Though you can just consider golf as a hobby, a little bit of practice will keep you at the top of your game. You'll rapidly improve as long as you choose suitable golf equipments, keep practicing in proper ways and keep looking to experienced golfers for assistance and tips. Reduce the dispersion of your shots. The key to reducing the dispersion of your shots is to minimize the rotation of the clubface through the hitting area. You can do this by thinking about the position the arms take as the club is delivered into the ball. Copy the positions highlighted by Kevin Flynn in this golf video tip and you’ll do just that. Learn from your swing from your divots. Walking along the practice ground the day after the Open’s completion at Royal Lytham & St Annes, TG Elite Pro Adrian Fryer noticed how the groups of divots were uniform and shallow. Observe a group of an amateurs divots and this will rarely be the case. They will often be too deep and not point down the target line. Try Adrian’s swing drills in this golf video tip to improve your ball striking. Prevent hook shots. A common cause of the hook is the hands working too far out toward the ball in the downswing, which causes the clubhead to get stuck on the inside and the clubface to go through excessive rotation through impact. This drill from Plane Truth Instructor Kevin Flynn helps get the clubhead more in front of the hands in the downswing, creating a swing path that is more out-to-in help to prevent the hook. Connect drill for pitching. The ability to control the distance on pitch shots relies on the syncronisation of the arms and body during the swing. When the arms become separated, they will often move at a different speed, which also affects the quality of the strike. Under your left armpit is often where the left elbow separates from the body in a bid to help the ball up in the air. This simple drill from TG Elite Pro Rob Watts should help prevent this from happening and enhance the connection between your arms and body. Sync your armswing and body turn. The 100-breaker’s typical fault is to start down too aggressively with his upper half; the 80-breaker tends to over-use the lower half. The 90-breaker could adopt either of these errors. The best strategy is a neutral approach, a square face delivered straight down the line. For this you needs to set the face at address appropriately and develop a co-ordinated attack on the ball where the armswing works with the body turn. You need to unify the arms and body so they make an equal contribution to the strike. Pin an iron across your shoulders and take up your normal address posture. Make sure the aim of the face matches your spine angle.To establish a neutral blade aim at address set the shaft in this horizontal position, hands opposite your chest. Check your left arm and the face are in line; the blade is now square. Rotate your shoulders to mimic a downswing. Keep the club pinned to both shoulders as you turn. Let body rotation move the face into position. Feel connected between arms and body.
