Turn Your Amateurish Golf Swing into a Pro Shot

By Josh Stewart


Inside this article I will focus on passing on a few extremely good golf swing tips to enhance your swing.

Get more distance by passing the pole

You should use an appropriate weight shif if you really want maximum consistency and distance. There is a pole planted into the ground and the ball is resting on it at its address. Now you have to place your left shoulder just behind the ball without even a slight sway of the hips.

Once you're in a position like this, it is believed to be good for starting the downswing. When you do the follow through, the right shoulder of yours has to shift past the imaginary pole and the golf ball. If you are able to do all these properly, you can perform weight shifts and good turns equally well.

You must remember the practice area

Do you realize the importance of the practice area? Any pro golfer who wishes to win the tournament will check out the practice area before moving on to the first tee. Surely, I don't need to repeat that you too should do the same if you have an iota of seriousness in you. Now you do not begin worrying about how you make contact with the ball within the practice area.

Instead make use of the practice area to loosen up your muscles and for warming up your body. Then when you become ready to hit, you have to start off with a wedge. Then slowly you have to work your way down till you reach the driver. Again, when you finish off, you have to use a few wedges again.

You might feel all these are not needed but do you realize, these promote a great feel and tempo, they can prevent you from getting injured and you can strike the ball with perfection as well?

How to get hold of an improved swing stance?

As soon as you begin to widen your stance more and more as a lot of other amateur golf players do, it increases stability on the one hand and on the other hand generates a lateral movement which can result in an involuntary swing. You can acquire an improved swing stance by doing the barrel drill.

You need to commence with a proper stance that should be shoulder width apart. Then you have to swing the club in such a manner that if there were two poles planted on each side of you just beside your shoes, you would never touch the poles. For this you need to do a full turn. Then you should envision yourself swinging within a barrel and this will definitely ensure lower scores.
