Golf Tips – The Simplest Suite Of Advice For The Golf Enthusiast Part 2

In this instalment, we’d focus on putting and golf fitness, two indispensable components of a good golf game.

Putting

Basic rudimental drills and techniques to be practicing for good putting:

- First and foremost; one should obtain a putter and find on it a conspicuous line on it which points to the target line. Use a chalk and a straight putt on the green to draw a line 6-8 feet from the middle of the hole. Ensure that the chalk line is aligned with that on the putter forming a right angle when the putter is held vertical to the ground. Putts should now be made using this perfect alignment of the chalk line and putter line. This drill would train the golfers’ eyes to position correctly; analogous to the hood on a racing horse.

- The pressure exerted by the hands during putting should be gentle, calm and consistent throughout the swing. An integral part of putting is the grip sensitivity. A tight grip will destroy “feel” and if hand pressure changes during the stroke, the putt will be degraded into a hit, jab or flinch instead of a controlled swing.

- There should be absolutely no unilateral movement in the palm of the hand. This is due to the fact that if the contact face of the putt is aligned straight as per point 1, any independent hand movement would alter the face position undoing all the good work. A quick check would be to feel the hand movement and if it is solely moving without the arms and shoulders moving, one is guilty of a bad and inefficient habit. Focus on the hands instead of the ball the next time one wants to check for movement; this is very easily exposed and observed.

There are literally innumerable bad intricacies about the putt. However, if one transforms these idiosyncrasies to habits good putting would be a distant desirable star.

Golf fitness

There are many ways to improve one’s fitness off the golf course; this would invariable translate to greater endurance, steadiness under pressure and a cool mental state on it. Full body flexibility is the most crucial in conjuring a powerful and accurate swing. Gym, spinning, swimming and consistent everyday stretching exercises would do the trick. This has an impact on general health and fitness as well. For specifics consult books or videos which are aplenty on the web.

The commonest glitches plaguing beginner and average golfers can be summed as the general inadequate composure to swing and putt due to over-stress, body stiffness and tension. In addition to the suggestions above, picking up other sports, religion, resting sufficiently before any big game and tai chi and relaxing recreational activities are all good methods to improve the golf game.
