- There are a lot of tips out there to learn how to golf, so we put together the 5 Best Tips for Beginner Golfers to help you in the right direction.
So you’ve decided to take the plunge and you’re going to learn how to play golf.
Let me be the first to congratulate you on your decision.
Whatever your reason for learning to play, golf is the greatest sport there is. Built on honor, integrity and sportsmanship (embodied by The First Tee); golf is a window into a person’s soul. You can learn a lot about someone just by how they conduct themselves on the golf course. Being outdoors in the fresh air and getting some good cardio exercise also isn’t a bad way to spend 4 hours either. You may also want to keep a psychiatrist on speed dial, too. Golf can be frustrating and drive you to the brink of insanity if you let it, but let’s not get into that right now. The game is magical.
There’s no need to buy a book called “Golf Tips for Beginners” or anything like that, because I’m going to hook you up with some free tips. You’re welcome.
1. THE PROPER GOLF GRIP
Golf is like any sport in the fact it takes practice and repetition to become good. Before you can make a golf swing with a golf club you need to know how to grip it.
The first golf tip for beginners is the most basic and the most important. You can’t swing a club properly with the wrong grip. To start gripping the club, hold it in front of you at eye level with your right hand (assuming you’re right-handed). Now take your left hand and put the pad of your hand on the top of the club and close your fingers around the club. Got that? Great. If you want to do a test to see if you have it right, let your arm fall by your side and push the top of the club down, if the bottom of the club comes up, you’ve done it properly.
Once you have gotten the grip down, let's move into the actual golf swing.
The Golf Takeaway
Your technique on the takeaway can make or break your shot. If you get the club moving away from the ball correctly, you set yourself up for a solid golf swing. However, if you compromise your form on the takeaway into the back swing, you’ll the see consequences in your ball flight. Before you even transition into the downswing, you are in a bad position and have a lot of fixing to do to hit a quality golf shot.

After watching this video a few times and taking notes, I went to the range for just the second time in my life (after a completely miserable and discouraging first-time experience) and implemented these tips. I was absolutely astonished by the results and could not believe the difference after just a few shots. I actually found myself swinging with accuracy and even hit the pin I was aiming for about 80 yards out with my 9 iron! Thank you so much for this video!
Jaryd Lara awesome! 👏 This made our day....thanks for watching, sharing your story and posting.. 👊
Jaryd, a 9 iron? My pitching wedge goes like 160 lol.... I'm just being silly. Awesome stuff! It all just comes to you one day. I LOVE Golf!
@@extrememetaldrummer1 WA
Looking forward to getting on thr range with these tips. Been away from the game for abt 12yrs and the rust is heavy.
9 iron? I hit my 58° wedge 75-80 yards. Rainbow flight pattern and it sticks the green. Keep it up and you'll gain yardage in no time. I grew up on a golf course, so its not really fair.
As a life long baseball player, I have been loading up and swaying back to my back foot. I had no idea you were suppose to have most of you weight on your front foot and rotate your hips. That's a huge tip for me, thank you!
Logan Merrick i had to cut a tennis ball in half and put under heel of my lead foot. That helps to make sure all weight is even on both feet. Not on toes or heels. And that helped me learn to shift my weight and get more power in my down swing.
Same here guy
Dude, same here! Life-long baseball player who could have made it pro. I never realized that swaying and loading to the back foot were detrimental. Constant topping! One day, I just planted my feet, kept my head still, rotated my hips and learned how to distribute weight to the front. Boom! Got it nailed! The game is so much more enjoyable now. Played 9 holes the other day and did not top 1 ball and hit my irons pure and not far from the pin.
It’s rough going from a baseball swing to a golf swing. Played probably 80 games and season with club and trying to change that muscle memory is so difficult. Once I was able to make the adjustment, I could finally compete with my friends and not lose 10 balls a round. The struggle was real but I appreciate the craft more now!
On the range, particularly with my irons, I am relaxed and hit very few bad shots. When on the course, where it counts, I seem to tense up and hit a lot of bad shots. How best to "carry from the range to the course?"
I must admit your style of teaching, content and useful applicable lessons have to be some of the best I have seen! Keep it up sir and I’m sure your going to alter so many peoples score cards for the better!
Andy Powlesland wow!! Thank you for the kind words. We certainly do our best to provide good solid information that can help our fellow golfers. I have to admit it is a team effort on our part with our video crew, content team and leadership. More good stuff to come!! 👊
If you're reading this in 2019 .. best thing to work on is your grip at first. I can't explain how much this helped me understand the swing. Also, do "full swings". So that you can see the club head with your peripheral vision (left eye for right hand golfers). This will help you start to understand what the club feels like when it hinges in your hands. If you continually focus on practicing this.. I PROMISE... you will become better at golf. I sucked for 4 years until I finally told myself enough is enough. I went and pitched/putted on the practice green for 3-4 hours a day, developing a full swing while maintaining correct power for the shot I was taking. Like a great man once said "It's all in the hips".
I consistently either push out to the right or have a wild slice to the right, I've just finished my 2nd session at the range using your 5 tips with a nice slow tempo and hit the straightest shots I've ever managed. Thank you!
That’s what I’m aiming for...no pun intended. I am getting better but have a tendency to hit to the right like off the toe I guess. I’ve only been playing a year but getting better from the tips Todd gives.
Sounds like your swing path could be out to in
Just starting out golfing again after trying years ago and giving up. This will help me try and slow things down from the tee
My 14 yr old son got a set of golf clubs given to him- we watch the your video several times practiced twice and from the practice drill of standing on lead foot with back foot off to the side I can use my 8 iron and hit the ball straight for about 200 yards- phenomenal
This is the post of the day! Thank you for sharing this story. We work hard to provide good solid information for our fellow golfers. Appreciate you watching and taking time to comment. Hope you subscribed 👊
Really helpful tutorial also like how you don’t pretend you know everything or that there is only one way multiple times it was stated you were open to hear others ideas on technique and that’s a huge part of being a master at something always being open minded🙏🏼
Kevin Burns you bet! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment...lots of ways to play this game and we can all learn...👊
i’ve found that doing the drill off the trail foot is better because it promotes your body to turn more , if you do it on your lead foot you can often promote a swing that becomes all arms
Thanks for the tips, after sucking in a tournament, I looked for something simple to get me back on track, watched this and hit 50 practice shots for 5 straight days, the only thing I added was concentrating on the ball and slowing down my backswing so I didn't pull my eyes off the ball my key was making sure I saw the club strike the ball, have a lot more short chips and putts... I am now scoring in the mid 80's and actually made a couple of dollars in a tournament,
Fantastic tips. I am an amateur golfer and used these tips tonight and took 8 strokes off my game. Thabks
Sandra Fudge awesome! Made our day...thanks for sharing. Hope you subscribed 👊
Todd, I have been playing golf for 25 years and I am a 6 handicap. Why? Because I watch this video before I go play to BRING ME BACK TO BASICS every round. It is mastery of the basics that will allow us to play good golf. I go to the range about twice a week and watch this video on my phone before I start while I am stretching. My playing partners think I am obsessed with these basics...as they hand me their money! Thanks. PS. I also use game improvement irons, Because they improved my game!
Post of the week right here Richard! Let them roll their eyes as you are taking their 💵. 💪
This is great! I first played 23 years ago twice, and have since joined up with some friends and found I love Golf. I have watched a number of other golf tip videos on RUclips but something about your teaching sticks with me most. I will be implementing these tips on my next ‘super beginner’ round of golf. Thanks again
Bash 3010 awesome! Thank you for the kind words...what idea was most helpful?
I've taken note and I hope to be able to hit a nice clean shot with these 5 tips. Thank you
Cute
Hello Todd, (hey Nick), I'm 63, just retired and from California and had this crazy idea that I would to return to this game after 20 years of life/work keeping me off the golf course. Went to the range a few weeks ago for the first time and remembered how frustrating golf was and wondered what the hell was I thinking deciding to play golf again...then I found your videos and your book The Bad Lie, and everything changed for the better at the range and not a frustrated, each visit gets a little better and better. Looking forward to playing my first round this week with more confidence and not discouragement.
Thank you, for your videos and your book...you definitely have taken the "stupid" out of the golf swing for us experienced golfers. I watched one of your videos with you in the real world on a course from tee to green, very informative...any chance of seeing more of that?
Wow, post of the month here! Thank you for the kind words. Nick, myself and the rest of our team are committed to making this game fun and more simple. Far too often the industry has overcomplicated the game, it can be simple yet challenging. Great to see your passion for the game and looking to improve.
Weight into the right heel and not right foot or arch is MAGICAL for my swing. Thanks sooo much. Cheers R
This video helped me, as a beginner, so much! I played much better yesterday. I think I will watch this again today and look forward to the next video!
Marcy Chatham thank you for the post and kind words! It always makes us feel good when we can help our fellow golfers improve...more great content to come! Be sure to subscribe
Lovely video content! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you considered - Paneevelyn Swinging Clubsman (do a google search)? It is an awesome exclusive product for revealing an effortless golf swing technique minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend finally got excellent results with it.
I was the player from the fifth tip. Thank you been trying to figure out why I kept opening the club for quite some time
Justin Horber awesome! Yes there are certain tips that hit home with different golfers...glad that one rang home with you...stay tuned for more great content to come.
You hit it right on. I haven't been able to get my hips into it enough to give me the strength I need to get the ball down the fairway. I tried you tip on keeping most of my weight on my left leg and wow, what a difference it made. All were wonderful tips. Thank you.
I watch this video almost every time I golf. These 5 tips changed my game. Thank you!
That weight balance is so key. So easy to move the weight to the back foot and your dead. After battling many of the ills in his video, I can really vouch for the principles here. These principles all help to keep you centered on the ball and improve consistency.
Ok new here . Took gold backup after about two years of not playing . I am 65. first day out I remembered why I quit and why I missed playing . Notice when I drive decent the rest of the hole is more fun and my irons are better . My putting never inmproves . LOL .Liked this , took notes and will try at the range and course. Thanks .
Mick Sheldon awesome! Welcome back..👊 Did the information help?
Can’t wait to go out today and try these tips. Your video on “thumbs down” has already changed my chipping and putting and shaved strokes off my game. I love how you explain things.
Awesome! Glad to hear we are helping your game. What other topics would you like to see us cover?
Great tips! I went out today and started feeling the weight on my balls of feet, in stance. Realize if I started with my lead foot I would naturally put weight back rather than trying and straining when reaching that “sweet” spot on my back swing. The way you explain it is how I’m going to explain to my other beginner friends. Thanks again
You got it! Appreciate you watching and sharing your thoughts. Hope you subscribed! 👊
Thanks for the info on taking off. It's been 10 years since I've played competitively, and I cannot remember how to take off from the ball. In short, I've been taking off low and shifting my waist which is very inconsistent. Also, good point on the grip. I believe the grip is one of the most important techniques. If your grip is off, it's hard to feel comfortable with every shot.
Watched your video and took the tips to the range. It’s 100% helped me I’m hitting so much better, the balls going straighter and I feel better on the ball. Thanks great clear video and very well explained
J Wilkinson made our day! 👊 Thanks for sharing your story...
Im twelve and I used to be super good at golf when I was younger and got a ton of coaching. I had quit and started pursuing soccer. I regained interest and went to the course after a few years. Im now started back at square one and I’m looking forward to using these tips at my next session. 👍
Thanks for sharing. Great to see you back in the game...
I did the 60/40 weight with my left foot for years and I was told that it was wrong in what I was doing as sometimes my hips got too far ahead on the downswing resulting in straight shots going well left! Good to view a lesson which differs from other coaches! Many thanks - I will get back to this set up!
alan carlyon you bet! Thanks for posting and watching...try the 60-40 and be sure let us know how it goes
I'm a 69 year old guy who has golfed maybe 20 times in my life. Your tip on the grip, and the hinge, seems to have worked. I am finally hitting the ball straight (most of the time). More practice and watching more of your tips should improve my game alot.
Congrats, fun to hear of your success. Are you a subscriber?
I tried learning to play ten years ago I was useless I couldn’t hit the ball at all with any iron !! I recently got a set of clubs so I watched this brilliant video time and time again now I can hit the ball nice and straight I can’t believe it now I have started from the beginning again these 5 tips have made me swing the clubs correctly , I’m only going to improve also with practicing these 5 things thank you for a great video ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
john metrac you are too kind...thank you! Great to hear the information is helping your game. Be sure to subscribe as we have more game improving content to come.
Great tips! Today is my next golf lesson and i am 100% going to implement these techniques into the swing! Thankyou
Thank you thank you thank you for this video. I have recently found your teachings on RUclips and I must say, you are by far my favorite teacher. I like the way you simplify the basics and get right to the point. I have been golfing for about 20 years and have gotten into some bad habits. Today I will practice these 5 tips and the drill. Wish me luck. 😊.
Great video! How to do place your right hand on the club if the middle of your left index finger is wrap around the club. I do the interlock method between the my left index finger and my right pinky? Cant wait to try these 5 tips.
Go Browns good question! Simply rest the pinky on top of the index finger...that will help. We also have a couple great videos on our channel about the grip which can help. Be sure to subscribe and let us know how it goes. 👊
Two questions: why did you not mention anything about how the right hand goes on the club for the grip.
And are we to assume you meant on the backswing to rotate the hips so that any weight transfer goes to the “inside” of the back foot? Sorry one more question. And does that back leg straighten?
The tip on the grip was the most helpful. Made me look like a pro on my first day at the driving range. Thanks for the knowledge.
Moeletji Semenya you got it! Our pleasure, be sure to subscribe, more great content to come 👊
Great tips, Thank you. My pro tells me that I almost always start the down swing with my arms instead of my hips. I’m flexible and have a good turn on take away but I can’t seem to get those hips to move first and let the arms fall 2nd. Can you please give me tips or drill on that.
Margie, great question...here is really good drill to help you do just that ruclips.net/video/COKstLARbeA/видео.html
This is definitely true and is true and my signal when things aren’t quite right, I caught myself doing this on Sunday and makes a difference, but don’t over compensate because I turned the face a bit too much and while I got more distance, I missed more greens back left but pin high.
Last tip with right leg back really works well. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! This is a tip that has helped many many of our golfers. A simple move that improves turn and pivot. Hope you subscribed...more great content to come!
Played ever since I was young. Over the years my muscle memory has gotten worse. The left arm towards the body will save my game this year! Thanks for the great instruction
Randy Bennett awesome! Sometimes just a little reminder and tip can do wonders. 👊
I am so frustrated with my golf shots... now today i am going to try what you have shared. Praying it works
I played my first game of golf ever this week so I hope ur tips help my game
Awesome! Hope you subscribed, more great content coming
Todd,
John H. Toronto Ont. Age 74
One aspect of the VLS that I find really useful and beneficial, much more so than other techniques, is the application of Detection and Correction. By applying your video tips I have found I can D and C my own swing errors with greater accuracy and in a more timely manner.
Thank you very much.
John, post of the day here! Thank you, yes the ability to learn "our" swing we are all on our way to playing better golf....thanks for sharing.
Why do you have to place your non-dominant hand at the top? I grew up with holding other sports clubs/bats like a baseball bat. What's the big difference? Thanks, great video btw :)
These are great tips ! They have helped me to hit my fairway woods cleaner. I'm 63 and am hoping my 22 handicap will improve now.
These concepts will help all golfers...let’s keep working 👊
I had my first golf game recently after only trying driving ranges. I find I top the ball a lot and sometimes even though I line myself up to where I want to shot to go, it will fly off at a 45 degree angle in a different direction. We lost like 10 balls to the rough 😅 I would like to get better though.
Stay with it, the game is challenging at first but once you get past the first few times, it gets easier. Hope our channel is helping you improve and enjoy the game.
You talk about keeping the left thumb on top of the shaft and short. What about the right thumb. I've always used an interlocking grip but have recently been working to change to an overlapping grip. What should I be doing with my right thumb? Short, long, wrapped around the shaft? I'm almost 75 years old and am a Winter Texan playing my winter golf at Champion Lakes Golf Course in McAllen, TX. Spend the summer now in Muskogee, OK.
84 in Jan. Have difficulty getting my knees together in the finish. 250 pounds is a lot to move. But your instructions are my Bible especially the chipping instructions. People are commenting. Thanks
trying out for golf this evening! I tried these tips out of some rocks since I have know golf balls. and I finally have hit my targets and feel comfortable playing. thanks so much!
Milla Bella good stuff! More great content to come...be sure to subscribe
Sir, I have said before that the "one foot" drill worked for me. Thanks to the regulars at the golf club who now have no idea why my handicap is down. I've never told them....it's our secret!! Thanks again Matt 👍
Matt Watkins fantastic! Have to hold back a few 💎’s from the competition! 😂
excellent teacher. Probably the best. But, what I am having a hard time seeing on this video is what do you mean by the golf head looks squared up. I guess i don't understand what squared up means in golf , because your club head in the video looks like it is facing .down towards the ground , not horizontally. Can you elaborate or another video that shows the club head at this position from different angles?\
jim saunders great post! Yes we can do that and will pass along to our content team! 👊 In a basic form you want the clubface at waist high to be at a 45 degree angle to the ground....make sense?
Thanks for the tips - I was once an avid golfer but turned pro recently, cheers - Keith.
I just started golfing, my first time was a couple weeks ago. So It will be interesting using this videos and going to a driving range or even just in my back yard and see how it helps me.
Thanks for watching Matthew, be sure to let us know how it goes! Hope you subscribed!
Clearly presented and useful tips. Thank you.
Just came across this video. Great video. I started playing golf last year and I can’t seem to hit consistently. Any other helpful hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
I learned to grip the good club by interlocking my thumb on my left hand with my pinky on my right. What are your thoughts on that?
CBIPandK interesting, that is a style I am not familiar with. I guess if to works and is producing the results you want then stay with it, if not, give these ideas a try. Thanks for posting!
I am 55 years old & I am finally learning to play golf & I am following your lessons.
Amber, welcome to the family! Great to have you. Our mission is to help our fellow golfers and share what we have learned over the years. Awesome to see you playing this great game. If you enjoy reading, check out my book The Bad Lie where I lay out a roadmap to learn this game. Here is the Amazon link if interested www.badliegolfbook.com/
Watched 2 of you Tip videos so far best advice for beginners going around has been a huge help for me Thanks! from Australia
Unboxing EMPEROR thank you! Australia is on my “bucket list” of places to visit...I hear it is a wonderful place. How are the golf courses?
Hardly ANY golf teacher/pro emphasizes pushing right knee forward to start downswing--which starts the hips clearing --that's why people spin or shift the hips forward--rather than letting them clear for an inside swing!! The right knee must start it!!
I think the reminder not to sway the hips and to rotate is key. I will try that tip today. As a beginner and tall man I’ve just bought oversized clubs and last night, first time out, I kept hitting the top of the ball. Direction is there, but not striking the ball clean. Should I be squatting down into it more?
Ronan McMillan yes, the rotation vs the sway is a key to great golf, be sure to let us know how it goes. 👊
Todd, Great information! I've been struggling with inconsistency my whole life, and you made me realize I'm a slider on the back swing, instead of turning into the right heal. Haven't tried it out on the course yet, but it seems to help me get through the shot a lot better and finish the downswing after the ball instead of ahead of it. Thanks! Can't wait to give this a try.
Our pleasure...we do our best to help the follow golfer...be sure to let us know how it goes!
I'm 73 years old from Thanksgiving Point golf club in Lehi, Utah. I recently changed clubs from a heavier weighted iron (Calloway Big Bertha) to a much lighter (PXG Gen 4) iron. I now have a tendency to overswing the club and roll over the top of the ball. Any suggestions on how to improve my balance?
I went to top golf today just for the experience and well I was abit nervous knowing I was either gonna miss or hit the club on the ground, but after practicing at my local golf course and watching this video I'm pleased with the results
Awesome! Welcome to the game. USGolfTV is here to help you enjoy this crazy game. If you would like to learn more, check out my book The Bad Lie where we cover the entire Vertical Line Swing System. Amazon link ruclips.net/video/dx-H4ntMcGs/видео.html
Todd, when talking about a short left thumb in the grip I have a different variation. I have the tip of my left thumb touch the tip of my left index finger and I check to see it is correct if the “v” formed between my thumb and index finger points over my right shoulder. What do you think?
Excited to try this out, im so far having really bad experiences on the driving range
What a fantastic video...watched it to get tips to help my son-in-law...might help me more!
Hi, Todd. This has been an especially helpful video, and I am going to work those drills.
A helpful video if you can make would relate to neck position. I can actually turn farther than I do, but my neck is rather stiff so turning too much pulls my head around so the ball jumps out of my glasses and I miss hit. I saw your comment about head position aimed behind the ball, but if I turn it leftward then I can backswing farther before the ball jumps out of my vision.
Thanks for all you do for us. Ted of Franklin TN
Ted, thank you for taking the time to post and share your experience. We are committed to providing good, solid yet easy to understand content for our fellow golfers....more to come!
I am about to start to play golf. But I am a left handed person. Some people suggested me to learn and use right hand clubs. I tried it few times but it just feels really weird. Any suggestion on how to test out which way to go for a lefty like me? I used to play tennis and ping pong and I feel like have a strong back hand stroke.
Aiman S. Now days there is plenty of quality equipment available for left handed players. We suggest going with your natural side, left handed. Good question!
Great tips, video beautifully short and to the point, could not have made a better beginner video, thank you for this!
Thanks for the watching and the kind words...hope you subscribed!
My grandpa is a member of the pga, he taught me the fundamentals of golf but now I'm continuing to learn by myself. At the range, I can hit maybe 50 out of 70 shots with a wedge doing just a half swing - 50-100 yards and straight. But when I use a bigger iron and a full swing I struggle to make half as many shots. Any tips going from a half swing to full?
Tom Trowell good question...we have a few videos on tempo and balance on our channel...check those out for some solid ideas. 👊
Thanks for this video! The biggest take away for me was the grip to help me in my practice session yesterday at the range.
Awesome. Be sure to subscribe as we have more great content to come...
TODD, GREAT TIPS LOOK FORWARD TO APPLYING THEM ON MY NEXT GOLF TRIP, ONE THING I WONDERED ABOUT WAS THE THUMB BEING A BIT RIGHT OF THE GRIP, YOU SEEM TO HAVE IT ON TOP EVEN POINTING A BIT LEFT BEFORE COVERING WITH THE RIGHT HAND?
Good question, the top thumb should be slightly to the right of center for a right handed golfer. The bottom thumb will be slightly left if center...make sense?
Am an old guy and I am pleased to admit that I know those 5 tips, but I was teaching my brother out on the range and I told him that he should check your site out in which he did, then he got back to me to inform me that you only showed half of the proper golf grip - no position of the right hand had been shown - Just thought I would let you know as there are some not so dum out here. But great tips and tuition for all those that tune in!
alan carlyon you bet! Great post...thank you.
I tried to swing but I got my golf club stuck in my ceiling.. any tips?
Try a 5 iron instead of a 7.
@@levitorres4617 5 iron is a longer club, that'll make it worse🤣
Put a light fitting there lol.
I may have found this video late but keen to try the one foot and see how it aids my swing. On a second note, I am interested in your opinion on where the grip starts in relation to the end of the club? When you were showing the balancing it seemed quite far down and I am wondering if was to show the effect, or if that was the correct location.
Good question, there should be around 1/2 inch between the back of the lead hand and the top of the grip. Better to move the hands down than grip on the very end of the club. Hope that helps!
Very good explanation and some great tips. I am going to the course tomorrow and will be trying them out. Thanks.
barry awesome! Be sure to let us know how it goes. We will be wondering. 👊
@@USGOLFTVshow Improvement thanks to you on hands and stopping swaying.
Will take your tips for my 1st time ever Par3 golf course 👍
Let’s go! Keep us posted
Loved this video! The guy in this video is a natural teacher. I like his vibe a lot!
Thanks for the kind words...you may be a good candidate for our VLS Coaching Program. We only take a few students as it is very personalized. If interested, you can apply here www.vlsgolf.com/
I find pulling the Club straight back from the ball and kee98ng the Club a little lower pn back swing helps . Pulling Club up off of ball makes for a harder swing plane.
Yesterday was my first time golfing and it was a mess, I did raise my left arm like you said, and I would always hit the ball straight and low
Great to see you playing the game. Keep at it...👍
Thanks for all the tips. I'm looking forward to using them today when I go golfing. They made me realise what I was doing wrong.
payton granger what tip did you find the most helpful?
US GOLF TV the tip that made me realize that I was one of those people
Hi Todd, I have been golfing for awhile and some days I play fairly well, other days not so good. My problem is I have no consistently. I seen to lose my swing after the start of the downing. I get in the hitting area and then everything goes to crap. Just can't seen to get the club head on the ball solidly.. Friends I play with say you are not swing threw the ball, you are not hitting down on the ball..hitting my woods and do not get them air born. The only thing that help my game is putting and chipping I need help. thank you Leo.
Question for you I am recover from a motor vehicle accident. (I got hit off of my motorbike).
Now I have a fractured pelvis. And struggle to move my hips in the direction you have said. Do you have any recommendations on how to better my game with limited hip movement???
I have a gold game at work end of May, there's no doubt I will be training and apply your tips. I did one crazy golf in my life lol. Thanks for the video
Welcome to the game! Awesome to see you taking it up. We have weekly content that is simple and easy to implement. Hope you subscribe...
The moment I tried doing the drill at the end I noticed my swing and rotate was completely different to how I actually swing - much more consitent! Will definitely be using that one
Let's go....progress! Thanks for posting....
Ive been golfing for 15 years. There's a lot of great info in this video. Only problem is you keep the club head square upon your back swing? So when do you start rotating or opening the head of the club during the back swing?
Michael Poalillo good question....our preference is for the club face to stay square for the first few feet of the takeaway...by the time the club head reaches waist high to face will be rotating...better to have less face rotation vs too much rotation in our opinion...thanks for watching! Hope you subscribed
I triued golf 35 years ago but could never quite get the hang of hitting a wood or iron although I could putt pretty well. I am now 74 and want to do something for exercising that isn't boring so thought I would try golf again. I will try your tips if I can remember them...Thanks
William...that is great! Golf is the best game...we can play it at all ages...best of luck!
Just played my best round after taking these tips on board. Thanks!
Ben Walsh awesome!! Great to hear...thanks for sharing your story! 👊👊
I tend to move my forward foot left for me off the ground and friends say that I am dancing. are there any tips to help me keep my forward foot on the ground?
Thank you- first academy day tomorrow, will be sure to try this
Helen Mac awesome! Good for you...be sure to let us know how it goes.
I learned to tighten up my swing with this
Todd, great information on how to keep the golf swing as simple as possible. Now if I own an Impact Snap trainer and I watch what you do at impact and what that device teaches at impact, don't you need to "flip" a little at the bottom of the swing to "release" at impact?
There is some release of the wrists to get the clubface back to a neutral position. The real KEY is the timing of this release. Done too early, and you will struggle with contact and distance...done too late and it will be difficult to get proper loft on the ball.
What club hits the ball further 3I or 9I?
I love the humility in your videos. Keep up the great work!
Appreciate the kind words. We do our best to provide good solid information for all golfers. There are many ways to play this game and no one has all the answers. Doing our part 👊
I really appreciate golf tips where the instructor takes into account us left handed golfers. Forward foot, Top hand..lead hand .etc as opposed to right, left.
Tony...you bet! We have many left handed players in our academy...gotta give them some credit!...thanks for watching and the comment.
Thanks for the 5 tips and drill, I will work on these and look forward to more great clear instructions
You got it! Appreciate you watching and posting...be sure to subscribe, more great content to come. 👊
Do these tips hold true to swinging a driver or are they primarily for irons?
Good question, these are general guidelines which will work with all clubs. Thanks for watching and posting.
Thank you for your video, we will be practicing these tips later.
hua Hua awesome! Where are you from? What tip did you find the most helpful? Appreciate you watching!!
On the back swing how high should the left arm be? Above the shoulder line or below?
Just above the shoulder line. Good question 👊
I have trouble trying to get a good shot out of a fairway bunker - - particularly if it is a relatively long shot. I could use your help with this.
