Golf Tips
Golf tips are nothing more than the thought you hold in your head as you swing your golf club. Whether the golf tip comes from another player or a golf pro or that really great player you met on your last Las Vegas golf vacation - what matters is how well the golf tip works.
Your mind and body operate in a stranger fashion. It seems that your body does it's best work when your mind isn't in the way. By that I mean you aren't trying to think through your action you just let it happen. The secret is learning how to make this a habit instead of a rare glimpse of greatness.
So the first golf tip is learn how to turn off your mind and allow your body to swing without conscious interference. If you've learned how to swing correctly then your body knows how.
A great way to make this happen is to think back to a time when you made a perfect swing. Remember the scene in detail. Then remember how it felt. See it play out in your minds eye and feel the way you felt then. Now swing. This simple exercise really works.
Your golf grip is vitally important to your performance on the greens. Good golf starts with a good grip.
If you watch professional golfers you will see that most of their grips are very similar.
You have to find the best hand position and grip for you. It's something that has to be learned . The most important thing is consistency. Once you find the grip that works for you stick with it.
Only when you can put your hands on the club exactly the same way every time can you really tell if your golf grip is working for you. Learn and practice gripping the golf club the same way every time.
Your second golf tip is learn to grip the club the same every time.
Always select a club that will make you ask yourself "How much do I need to back off of this swing?". Use the 75% Rule. Make a 3/4 backswing and follow through, focusing on controlling the direction and distance of the shot.
A heavier club will give you the power you need refine your control and aim. Practice with heavier clubs and you will be able to swing with more control because you won't be putting all your strength into it.
You will find yourself making consistently better contact with the 3/4 swing and probably start hitting the ball farther with your controlled swing than with the full whack.
Golf tip number three is use a heavier club and reduce your swing to 75% - you'll get better power and greater control.

Hints On Golf Swing Aid
The overall contour of the green can be assessed from 50-100 yards out. It's a fact that a ball will roll away from mountains and towards the ocean; so if there is a hill near the green the ball will roll away from it. If there is a lake near the green the ball will roll toward it.

Assuming that you have a driver with enough loft, here are four things that you can do to increase launch and decrease spin rate, thus increasing your distance off the tee:

Level Legs. The lack of traction in bunkers forces the legs to function differently than they do on full shots�they must maintain their flex during the entire swing instead of posting up through impact. This will keep you nice and level through the shot.

Assuming the texture of the sand is similar, and the ball is not plugged, the technique for hitting out of a greenside bunker remains the same for shots up to 30 yards (27m). The key to making this shot is hitting the sand about 1 to 2 inches behind the ball, throwing the sand forward with the ball. For longer shots the only thing that changes is the swing's length. Rhythm and tempo remain the same.

Wondering which golf clubs you should buy?
By: Lee MacRae
Are you looking to buy new golf clubs? Finding it difficult to determine what will work the best for you? Newcomers especially can become bewildered by the large variety of golf clubs you see when you are looking to buy.
We will go through a few basic tips to help you determine which golf clubs are right for you.
First, take note of your height. Standard golf clubs are designed for individuals bewteen five and six feet. That principle holds for both sexes. If you are taller or shorter than that, then you should seriously take a look at custom made clubs.
Cast or forged iron clubs. Which?
For most folks, the standard cast iron golf clubs are the best way to go.
And there is a reason for that. Very simply because standard cast iron clubs tend to have a larger "sweet spot". That term refers to the area in the middle of the face of the club head where the ball should be struck for maximum distance and accuracy. The bigger the sweet spot, the better chance of hitting well it every time. You can still be a little "off center" and the ball is still struck well because you have a larger margin of error. You can see why beginners are usually told to stay with cast iron clubs Until their swing plane is more developed, they will have an easier time striking the ball on a consistant basis with the cast iron club. This is the major reason why you see larger or even "oversized" clubs made, especially the oversized drivers today. These clubs allow for a larger sweet spot and make the game a lot easier for the average player
Conversely, forged iron golf clubs have a much smaller sweet spot and it is far more difficult to hit a ball well with this kind of club.
Why, you ask, are forged iron clubs even made then?
Well, because they are made of a softer steel, they offer a better "feel" on each and every shot. The more experienced golfers can use this feel to great advantage, shaping their shots, even curving them intentionally when the circumstances require it. So, in effect, they trade off the larger sweet spot for the shot shaping feel of a forged iron club.
The next thing to look at is the shaft itself. Will we get one made from steel? Or will it be a composite material?
How fast can you swing your golf club? Average speed for a golfer falls in the range of 80 to 95 mph. If you have a slower club head speed then you need to look to composite materials. The problem with lower speed is you get less distance on your shots. You need to generate more speed [and more power] or find some way to compensate until you can. And that is where the composite golf club shaft enters the picture. It gives you a lot more distance than you would get with your normal swing and a steel shaft.
On the other hand, if you already have good distance on your shots due to good swing speed, you can add some touch and feel to your game very similar to that obtained by using the forged iron clubs. You get the best of both worlds.
Visit your local golf pro shop or look for a store that offers custom work and they will help you to determine your own club head speed and which type of shaft you should use. Or you can buy one of the many swing speed radar devices on the market and clock your speed yourself.
With just these few starting hints, it is generally best if you rent a few different sets of clubs as you play and take note of how each club assists or hinders your game. You are searching to determine your personal strong points and weak points. Try out the diverse types and sorts of clubs available to you and see what works best for your own game.
Work on these tips and make sure you tee off with a positive mindset. The more you practice and implement what you learn, the more confidence you will gain in your ability to hit it straight and long. And watch your scores begin to plummet!

Most golfers set their driver on the ground at address. This results in a high percentage of driver shots being hit on the heel-side of the face, especially when we tee the ball higher. Test yourself this way: The next time you are at the range and set up to hit your driver, once in the address position stretch your arms out and move the club up to the ball's height. Notice where the ball is going to contact the face of your driver? On the heel side � or possibly the hosel � of your driver.
