Improving your golf swing for idiots

For some golf trainers, the very 1st lesson they will teach their students is how to grip the golf club correctly. Why? Because if you don't grip the golf club correctly, it could cause you to slice the golfball almost everytime.

Driving mats come in different sizes and are nice for practicing while you are home or even at work in your lunch break. They are made from a turf-like fabric which means you can practice and not have to worry about ruining your gear.

The key to practice is creating actual circumstances.Ideally,you should duplicate that situation and try to execute your best swings.Working on hitting shots from bad lies is crucial.

You can improve your putting even in your living room or at the office. You need a putter, a little space and you can get putting aids that you can attach to the head of the putter. The putting aids can help you center the stroke until you are comfortable enough with hitting the ball with the center of the putter.

Because putting is such an important part of the golf game and keeping in mind that usually you can only select 14 clubs during a golf game, having two putters is not a bad idea. Even if you have two different putters you do not always have to take both of them, but getting comfortable with using them is very important so use them with an additional golf training aid.

More than one golfer suffering from a horrible slice has improved his golf swing just by learning how to grip his golf clubs correctly. One more thing you should think about - buy some old style blade irons and practice with them.

Remain honest with yourself and take notes when you play golf. Where do you always have problems? Get more practice in these problem spots. If you are not able to solve the problems yourself, then pay your local pro to help you.

You may find that you have trouble using the Vardon grip, you might want to try the baseball grip, also called the ten finger grip. You basically hold the club just like you would a baseball bat, both hands side by side. Usually, this is the easiest way to grip a golf club, and if you have joint pain or small and weak hands or even arthritis, this is more than likely the best grip for you.
