Golf is an awesome game and a frustrating one at that. After playing recently with a beginner who usually plays pretty well I discovered that there are certain things a golfer must do in order to consistently hit the ball well.
So, here are the top 5 golf swing keys to hit the golf ball straighter and longer quickly...
1. Routine. One thing that throws off a golfer is getting out of their routine.
2. Visualization. This is a little trick I learned from Anthony Robbins. When I followed my routine along with visualizing each shot (recalling in my brain past perfect shots/swings) I always hit the ball well. The key is that when you conjour up in your brain a perfect golf shot, it tells your body just what to do.
3. Pay attention to your hands. Your grip and hands play a big role in how the club connects witht the ball. Make sure you don't roll your hands too much creating a bad hook or not following through with your hands which can leave the club face open creating the dreaded slice. The key is to allow your hands to relax and come through the ball with your swing.
4. How's your stance/setup? Many times a poor set up and stance will cause a poor shot.
Where is the ball in your stance based on the club your holding? Are you aiming at the proper target? Are you comfortable? A good stance and set up will allow you to do the take away properly and come through the ball properly with good balance and follow through.
5. Keep your head down. This is an area that plagues more golfers than not.
Most of us struggle with this for quite some time and even good golfers sometimes top the ball. There are good drills you can do to ensure you keep your head down on each and every shot. One less thing to think about makes playing golf much easier.
We could go on all day in areas such as rhythm, backswing, follow through, etc.
but these are the critical golf swing keys to hit the golf ball straighter and longer as soon as your next round.
Also, be sure that no matter how good/bad your game is going, you have fun and keep going out for more!!
