Golf Lessons – Is it Live Or is it Memorex?

When it comes to golf lessons, you have a lot of choices. Private one-on-one lessons with a pro are probably best, but they are very expensive and usually not very convenient. You can purchase golf lessons on DVD so that you can watch them at your leisure. The downside of the DVDs is you have to watch the same lesson over and over. It may be a golf lesson that can help you, but if it is one that doesn’t really fit your game or trouble areas, you are just stuck with it.

Golf Lessons on video that are available on the internet have many distinct advantages. Almost all of them are absolutely free. there are new lessons being added every day. Many of them incorporate slow motion and stop motion so that you can easily see the different swing positions the instructor is trying to teach. Some of he instructors are very good teaching pros. I found many very good examples of an online video golf lessons.

Now there are some really poor quality golf lesson videos out there too. so you may have to weed your way through them to find the good ones. Once you find a keeper, just be sure to bookmark it in your internet browser so you can easily go back to it again and again.

Every article in my website contains an online golf lesson video. I keep adding new ones every few days too. You are sure to find one that floats your boat.

How to Perfect Golf Swing?

Hi, I am wanting to work on improving my golf swing. Should I get lessons or what about any of the golf instruction you can find online or both?

Thanks

Hello. Golf is an awesome game but can be frustrating to learn as you continue to get better which is lifelong of course.

It's good you're asking about the golf swing b/c that is most fundamental if you want to improve your scores.

Golf lessons is recommended- in a 30-60 minute session a pro can really help you iron out kinks and tweak parts of your swing that you may not know need fixed. however, they can get costly depending on where you go.

There are many great products and tutorials that offer golf tips both free and paid. one such that I found useful is the Simple Golf Swing. In fact we've done a review of the course here – http://www.golf-made-simple.com/simple-g… – it may be just what you need to get started for less money.

All in all learn as much as you can, but take action with each new thing you learn.

Hope that helps,

Joe

The key to a good swing is the basics. The basics aren't rocket science. You could go to a pro and get lessons but if you don't wont to spend the money you could easily find something useful online.
First and formost focus on having the correct grip (google golf grip). second make sure you understand what a correct stance is. Then make sure that you always practice with the correct alignment to the hole. I can't stress this enough. Simply walking on to the driving range and hitting balls 'willy-nilly' at a target is a big no-no. always put a club down on the ground which helps you align yourself correctly with the target. Your club should be aiming straight at the target while your feet should be directly at 90 degrees to the target/club face. put down a club so that your feet are aligned slightly to the left of the target (if youa are right handed). I hope you can understand that, but put simply everything should be parrallet to the target. If you get into the habit of not focussing on the basics, you will develop bad habbits and if you ingrain a bad habbit into your game it can often be irreversable.
I believe once you have mastered the basics (grip, stance, alignment) its all go from there. Don't get to technical there after. Often people get 'over-coached' and turn into 'robots' with no feel or adaptability. You need to find a natural swing and rythm that suits you. always remember that the aim is to hit the ball into the hole, not to have the perfect swing.
Conquer the basics and let your imagination do the rest.

lessons do help.
However, the most common problem with beginners is that they almost always have a bad grip.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmK07gRcV…

Try to fix that and then go back to the range and (practicing your new grip) start hitting sand & pitching wedges with a half swing and slowly moving to the full swing. You will see an amazing difference in the way you hit. after hitting several hundred balls you will start to feel more comfortable with the swing.

Also (MOST IMPORTANT!) DO NOT HIT YOUR DRIVER when you are learning the golf swing. most new players go hit the driver because it can go the furthest (DON'T!) it will build some very bad habits that are tough to cure. Patience! practice the golf swing described above using the 9 and 7 iron and you should seem some results pretty quickly. after several thousand balls have been hit (accurately), you can try learning how to fade and draw the ball. after another several thousand balls you can go to the driver. If you have built a consistent swing, you will be able to hit the driver no problem, but don't touch it until you've mastered the swing. The last thing you want to do is have two different swings for hitting the irons and the driver.

If you can afford to have both lesson and read online instruction that would be much better to perfect that swing.

Also remember: Practice always makes things perfect.

Here is an article named How to swing your irons. Hope this helps

How to Perfect Golf Swing?

How To Use Long Putters

A common putting flaw I see in my golf lessons is excessive wrist action. Increased wrists leads to a loss of control of the putterhead before impact and an abundance of missed putts. with greens in better condition these days, the need for precision in putting has grown. In other words, you must overcome this putting flaw to achieve a lower golf handicap. Enter the long putters.

Long putters curb wrist action by anchoring the putter to a fixed point–your stomach or your sternum. While I prefer a regular putter to a long one. I encourage players who take my golf lessons to use whichever putter works for them. I also encourage them to learn the proper technique using a long putter, which I described in my golf tips.

Three broad categories of putters exist: regular, long, and extra long. Regular (or the standard length) putters measure 33 to 36 inches long. Long putters (or mid-length) putters measure 38 to 45 inches. And extra-long putters measure from 46 to 52 inches or so. most long putters have split grips. try several types before choosing one.

Once you’ve selected a putter, you need to learn how to hit it. below are some golf tips on hitting long and extra-long putters.

The extra long putter takes wrist action almost completely out of play, replacing it with a fixed center (sternum) around which your putterhead moves. with the extra long putter you need to think pendulum. The sweeping pendulum-like stroke needed with an extra long putter is more consistent than the stroke required for a regular length putter. Plus, the club is easier on the back than a regular length putter. however, the extra long putter does have a weakness–lack of distance control.

To use the long putter, place your top hand at the top of the putter’s grip and place the grip against your sternum. You can grip the club with the other hand as you normally would. or, you can try another grip. Some players hold the shaft like a pencil. Others hold the shaft between the curled index finger and middle fingers of the right hand. either way works as long as the top of the shaft ends at about the height of the logo on your shirt when you’re in a slightly upright putting stance and the putter’s sole is resting on the ground.

You have two ways to applying force with a long putter–bending and straightening of the right arm or rocking motion your shoulders. Some players prefer to bend and straighten their right arms (for right-handers). Others prefer to rock their shoulders back and forth. whichever method you choose, it’s essential keep the upper body still so it can act as the fulcrum around which the pendulum- like swing moves.

Mid-length putters are 10 to 12 inches longer than a regular putter and have either an extended grip or a split one. with this type of putter having the right length club is critical. The putter should extend to about three inches beyond your belly button when you’re standing in the upright position. Your height and body shape will determine the exact length for you.

Using a mid-length putter is a lot like using a regular putter except, of course, for anchoring the putter to your mid-section–which provides the foundation for your swing. The anchored shaft stabilizes the club around the hinge point, taking the wrist out of play. You’re options for putting the ball are the same as with the long putter. User either your right arm to pull and push the club or your shoulders to provide a smooth, rhythmic swing.

Both the long putter and the extra-long putter are viable alternatives to a regular length putter. Both minimize wrist action when hit properly and both need a stable anchor point to be effective. Both they also require you to learn a new a putting technique to hit them properly. but learning a new putting technique is only the first step in using these putters. You still need to practice with them every chance you get, if you want to lower your golf handicap.

Golf Lessons – A FAQ For Beginners Learning Golf For the First Time

Golf lessons for beginners don’t come cheap. You need to squeeze as much as you can out of your golf trainer in the short time you spend with him. Here are some common tips, questions and answers which can help you wring the maximum benefit from your golf lessons.

1. How do I find the best golf trainers or golf lessons for beginners?

The best way is to ask for a recommendation from a friend whose opinion you trust. if you can’t do this, try asking at your local golf club or golf shop. worst comes to worst, you can look in the Yellow Pages or buy a DVD course from Amazon (Remember to read the customer reviews before you buy).

2. How much does a golf lesson cost?

Rates run around $40-$50 an hour. some locations are more expensive, e.g. Chicago pros charge around $100 an hour. this varies from pro to pro. if price really matters to you, you may be better off buying a DVD course or online course.

3. Should I get my clubs custom fitted before going for my golf lessons?

Opinions here are divided. My answer: if you don’t even know how to play golf, the answer is “No”. Custom fitting only benefits you once you develop a repeatable and consistent swing. However, pick up the phone and ask your golf trainer – if he has a different opinion then you should go with his advice.

Regardless, you should get your clubs re-gripped, especially if you are using hand-me-downs or second-hand clubs. Having the correct sized grips helps you to hold the club firmly. more than one player has found his persistent slice or hook mysteriously cured once he fixed his grip.

4. Do I need to tip my golf trainer?

That depends – how much did you get out of your golf lessons? One thing to remember is that most pros only take home 50% to 70% of what you pay them. The rest goes to the golf course or school. In a sense, they are very much like taxi drivers and waiters.

5. Should I get golf swing instructions A) from a pro; or B) from a certified golf instructor?

Theoretically, the certified golf instructor is trained to teach golf swing lessons, while the pro is someone who showed he knows how to play well. However, see the answer to question #1 – in practice, who cares whether your golf trainer is certified or not as long as he can teach you well!

6. I’m left-handed. Should I look for a left-handed instructor?

Not necessarily. Note that many left-handed golfers actually play right-handed. Courses are normally set up for right-handed play, and left-handed clubs are often more expensive.

7. How many golf lessons do I need?

That really depends on how quickly you learn. more importantly, if you have the choice, try to space out your lessons – once per month should give you enough time to practice on your own.

After you complete your beginner’s lessons, you should strongly consider scheduling follow-up lessons with your golf trainer. There are two main reasons for this:

Many week-end golfers tend to pick up bad golf habits over time. their golf swing techniques slowly become develop mistakes and they play worse and worse. Follow-up lessons will help you to arrest the slide in your game.
For those of you who actually manage to get a lot of practice in, you’ll find your skill hitting a plateau. Follow-up lessons will allow your golf instructor to teach you additional skills, for example how to hit a fade or draw, and how to control the spin of your ball. All of these will give you better accuracy in your swing.

The preceding frequently asked questions on golf lessons should help most beginners get more bang for the buck.

Golf Lessons – A FAQ For Beginners Learning Golf For the First Time

Online Golf Lessons – Consistency!

Online golf lessons are key to mastering this game without spending a fortune on coaches. what, however, can you learn from these sorts of lessons? Well, everything form how to hit massive drives to an intelligent short game, to longer putts that actually make it into the hole and don’t dramatically raise your score. although online golf lessons are definitely key, consistency is what you’re after.

If you’re 70 or so yards from the hole and you know you can hit that distance with a certain iron, you want to be able to actually hit that distance when you pick up that iron. you don’t want your 6 or 7 iron to hit the ball sometimes 20 yards farther and sometimes 20 yards closer. Actually knowing and understanding how far each club hits for you is one of the big keys to using golf lessons (or any training for that matter) to help lower your score and better your game.

As far as these golf lessons, let’s look at a few easy tips that will allow you to consistently crush the ball and also to consistently drive the same distances with your irons.

Online Golf Lessons: Consistency Tips

1. it all starts with posture. you must learn to stand in an easy stance of knees bent, back slightly bent, feet perpendicular to the direction of the flight of the ball, and most of your weight on your heels. You’ll need to practice this stance. Online golf lessons can tell you what to do, they just can’t do it for you.

2. As you rotate your hips and swing the club, your body does not change overall position. you don’t swing your hips, nor do you straighten your back except at the end of the shot.

3. what makes the ball go the farthest is the rotation of your hips times with the swing. One of the most important aspects of these online golf lessons is learning to clear the front of your body out of the way, as you rotate through the swing. Do this right and you’ll deliver an enormous amount of power to the swing.

4. Make sure you don’t take your eyes off the ball! even after it’s hit, keep looking at the grass where the ball was.

5. Don’t try to crush the ball. Implement these online golf lessons and let skill carry your ball, not brute strength.

6. Learn your clubs. Don’t just read these online lessons and go to the course. The driving range is your friend. there you can really learn your clubs.

7. Stretch prior to playing golf. and during your game. Look for good stretches that we recommend for online golf lessons. use these and increase your range of motion.

How should I organize my golf bag?

I have a new set of clubs, and I am new to the game.

The set is complete, but I have no idea how they should be organized in my golf bag.

Can anyone offer any tips on the best way to store them, grouped so they won't damage eachother?

Many thanks.

When the bag is laid on the ground with the strap on top of the bag the top compartment is for your woods. the middle section will most likely have a separator making 2 compartments. Put your hybrids or 4,5,6 irons in one and the 7,8 and 9 irons in the other. the lowest third of the bag also has a separator where you will place the PW and SW on one side and the short wedge and putter in the other. make sure you have no more than 14 clubs in total.

Actually, whatever works for you is fine. are you planning on carrying your bag while you walk? do you plan on using a pull cart? will you be riding in a power cart? if you're carrying, place your longer clubs (driver/fairway woods) so that they're closestto the ground when the bag is on your back. if you're using a pull cart, it depends on the design of the cart. You might want the longer clubs placed so that they're closest to the cart or you might want them the other way around with the longer clubs furthest from the frame of the cart. if you plan on mainly using a power cart put your longer clubs to one side or the other, (left or right side) and your shorter irons and putter on the other side.

A lot has to do with what type of bag you have (how many dividers it has) you can purchase these plastic tube you insert in the bag so that when you put the clubs in the bag they don't get all tangled up.
What i did was buy a golf bag that has a divider for every club, but make sure that the divider goes all the way down to the bottom of the bag so that the shafts don't hit each other.

Use Samsonite Golf Trunk Organizer to help you.
