Improve Your Golf Game With These Simple Golf Tips

by Golf Buddy

After playing tons of rounds with so many people, I noticed what the good golfers do that others don't.

Buying equipment seems to be the most popular because it's probably the easiest and the laziest method. New equipment is nice, but it's expensive and it may not be the most effective!

Committed people start looking into lessons. They are great, but takes a lot of time and effort. They need to practice, practice and practice.

Did you know that the pros can take your long game, combine it with their short game and still shoot in the 80s? Everyone knows that the short game is where it's at but if you are one of those people that practice, you better be really committed because it is going to take a LONG time.

All these are good but there's actually something even easier. Check these tips out for a guaranteed few strokes off!

1. Glove - Changing your gloves as much as you can afford to is essential for a good game. Once it starts slipping, then bye bye good ball striking.

2. Spikes - This is so easy to do but once you change it, you won't be slipping all over the place. It's hard enough to play the game but if you are not balanced, it's just frustrating.

3. Tees - When I hit my tee shots, I want the ball to hit the sweet spot of the club face every time. Having the same tee height is the only way I can do this (apart from having a repeatable swing).

4. Hydration - I never used to drink and would only play a good few holes before I tail off. Now I drink 2-3 bottles of water a round and I play great all 18 holes!

5. Warm up - I still don't spend enough time on warm up but I noticed that sometimes it takes me 1-2 holes just to get relaxed and able to swing freely. This is all due to not having enough warm up. Warming up also helps relaxes your mind and enables you to make adjustments to compensate for the way balls are flying. More importantly, warming up reduces injuries! 1-3 strokes saved

6. Eat Light - Heavy eating is a no-no on the course. You end up losing focus after a big meal so it's hard to pick and execute the right shots. Eating something light is great for your score.
