Beginner Golf Swing

If you're looking for golf success, practice for accuracy first - and concentrate on distance only after you've got other basics like your golf swing perfected. That way, you'll master the art of control first.

Just think about it. What's the fun in hitting the ball many yards off the tee if you end up with your ball on another fairway... or maybe even in the rough? You'll waste time and effort fixing things - and end up with a higher stroke count than if you focus on perfecting that golf swing right from the start.

A drive right down the middle of the fairway, even if it's a few meters shorter, will let you get a better set of shots later on - and an overall lower round score.

By playing with a smaller, more controlled golf swing, you will gain that critical control of your shots. Your progress to more forceful strokes, getting more distance from your golf swing, is a natural sequel, and will let you build on your earlier success.

You'll learn correct golf swing technique - and this will last you well in the long term, over the course of your playing career. And by developing golf swing accuracy first, you will also be lengthening the distance of your drives and will in fact hit the ball further.

Let me give you some free golf instruction right here and now. Start with a smaller golf swing. It is easier to train your body to develop the correct actions. These actions are what's important when you progress to the longer drives.

As you master your golf swing, you can progress to a full swing knowing that you will have the control to hit the ball in the right direction. By combining a correct action with your full swing will ensure you will hit the ball further.

If you find that your drives are going crazy, fix it first. Don't make the classic beginner golf mistake. Even if you end up limiting your golf swing
until you are hitting the ball straight, that's the way to go.
