Golfing 101: Golf tips for every beginner

Every professional in any sport was once a beginner. From the starting point, it takes hours and hours of dedicating their lives to the sport for them to get better and improve on their skills. Golf is no different when it comes to this idea. Beginners will most probably miss hitting the ball the same way a newbie basketball player will miss shots. Thankfully, there are tips you can follow to make golfing easier. Here are some golfing tips beginners should follow.

Take lessons You’d be surprised to know that a lot of people just go into driving ranges or golf courses not knowing what to do. They’re either accompanied by someone who knows how to play but doesn’t know how to properly teach. If you think golf is a sport you can master on your own, think again. Get an instructor to teach you the basics of the sport, assess your movement, and correct your posture.

Secure the club with a firm grip Much like baseball, the chances of a golf club flying into the air is pretty high if a beginner doesn’t know how to properly grip the club while swinging. It takes months to get used to a grip you are comfortable with but it’s all for the best as your grip is one of the foundations of your swing.

Don’t get rusty Golf skills tend to deteriorate if you don’t practice often. If you don’t have the time to complete a course, just go to the nearest driving range and spend an hour hitting balls. This lets you work on your grip, composure, accuracy, and will eventually help you build strength.

Stay Healthy By Playing Golf

Image source: amarillomagonline.com Golf may not seem like a sport that builds muscles and raises endurance and stamina. It may not improve a person’s physique the same way boxing does, or even football or basketball. It may not be as physically demanding as Greco-Roman wrestling or going through a triathlon. But there are definite health benefits to be reaped from the beautiful sport, though they may not be obvious at the get go. Take for instance your respiratory health. All that fresh air that occupies the greens can only be good for your breathing. Your lungs will be more than grateful for a few hours in the open. Couple this with the serene surroundings and you have a place that’s perpetually stress-relieving. That in itself is worth the price of admission if you ask me.
