Golf Tips for Amateur Golfers
Playing with amateurs on a regular basis, I have noticed most of the advice I give boils down to one thing. Give a simple tip that gets them back on track. Following are several useful golf tips that have helped many amateur golfers over the years:
Ten Finger Grip
- Practice with a ten finger grip to improve the chipping technique.
- For golfers who come over the top on their down swing, practice hitting balls with a closed stance to improve the swing path.
- Think of the golf swing as one continuous motion. This will help to gradually accelerate club speed without any wasted motion during the downswing
- To make contact with the ball, practice using a ½ to ¾ backswing and ½ to ¾ finish. This will get the arms and body together and help to build confidence.
- Putt like there is no ball there. This takes the anticipation out of the hit of the stroke and improves speed control.
