I really want to learn how to golf. My dad is an amazing golfer but doesn’t have the time to show me how. I don’t know how to do anything really. I really want to learn so in the summer I can go golfing at the country club with my dad and friends plus I just love golf.
Does anybody have any good tips about anything,
holding the club, how to swing, following through, my form, anything?
videos are helpful too:D

I played golf for the second time in a year and was curious as to what I can do with my hands and body to keep the head straight to avoid slicing and hooking? Also, Is it true that as you go from driver down the irons (ie driver, 2I, 3I, 4I…) your stance should draw inside a little closer? General advice on swinging properly or tips in general? I need all the help I can get. I didn’t do too bad but I wasn’t very consistent. One last question, is it worth working with those swing trainers…the ones where the shaft is supposed to show you how to adjust your swing to be better?

Hello.

I have been playing golf for six months now. My best handicap for a 9-hole is 7 over Par. I consider that quite decent. Although I do believe that I require some more training. I would love to know of a website/links wherein I can pick up some extra points. Hopefully, the website will include good illustrations of the swing, stance & short game tips.

Kindly let me know.

Thank you.

i just started working out today, and this is my third time. the first two tries only lasted a couple months because i got busy and thought it wasn’t important. but now i really wanna stick with it. i just need tips on how to motivate myself to get in shape (so i can tone up for the upcoming summer and help with my golf swing). and i also sometimes feel self conscious doing all the exercises in front of other ppl, especially my peers. i’m not overweight or unsightly or anything, im just not super strong yet lol.
any help would be appreciated

Mizer asked:


Played my first round of the golf season a few days ago. For some reason, I’m coming over the top on my downswing which resulted in me hitting accross the ball. The predictable result was sidespin & a weak slice.

Can anyone suggest some good drills or tips to help stop from coming over the top?

bob asked:


my golf game is fairly good. i shoot in the low to mid 40’s and everyone i play with just blows the ball way past mine off the tee. i hit the fairway 70% of the time but i only hit it about 220 to 230. i want to at least hit it 250. i have before but on very rare accations. i dont make solid contact with the ball. are there any tips to solve my distance and accuracy problem. i have had lessons where they tell me to swing at the ball picturing a clock. but i dont no what hours to swing at like …. 6 and 3 something like that. those tips really help me. if you can get me to drive straight and far …you’d be awesome. help please.

Ok like im a new golfer i just played my second round today so im still learning. my question is what clubs should i use for certain yard shots? (example Use the 3hybrid for 140 yard shots ect (im not expecting the yardage to be right on that but if i was right then SWEET!)) Also if you have any other tips or any thing that would help me that would be great. (i have my grip/stance/swing down pretty good, im shooting 2-4 over par, and its only my second game so i dont think thats too bad. could use tips on putting or any other tips that you might have that could help my game….)
how far do the woods usually hit? and what exactly is a hybrid for? my set came with one and the only thing i can tell is that its got more of an angle and is a bit smaller than my 3 wood.)

I’m having some trouble in my golfing. I am hitting the ball pretty hard for a kid, but it simply isn’t getting high into the air like on TV. I need some good tips on how to swing a firm, hard, high shot in golf, please.

I guess I have 2 parts to my question.
1. I have just started playing golf for the first time. I am 26 years old. I have been taking tips from my friends who have been playing since they where kids. I after about a week or so, my left forearm, wrist and back started to get sore (I’m right-handed). There is actually a light sharp pain in my left elbow joint when I try to fully extend my left arm. Does this mean my swing form is incorrect?
2. I can officially admit that I love this game and I am addicted to it. I just played my first 9 holes and I love the game even more. However, after about 4 weeks of playing my left forearm and wrist remains sore. I know I should stop and let it heal, but I always hear practicing everyday will improve your game. I should mention that I am not hitting over 100 balls everytime I visit the driving range. The most I would do is about 50. Is it good to practice your swing when your sore?
