What is the %%%proper way to swing a golf club%%%? It all starts with having the correct golf swing fundamentals in place, and if your not sure then continue learning and practicing on your own golf swing until you feel comfortable enough to move onto more advanced techniques. The golf swing is a combination of balance, strength and fluidity, and they must be in that combined mix for your golf swing mechanics to produce the kinds of golf shots that are on target.
One of the most frequent errors to a golf swing is the consistent over-swinging of the golf clubs. Relax as much as you can during your golf swing. You do have some power, however accuracy is the name of any golf game. Set your goals to expend very little effort when swinging the golf club. Hitting the golf ball the right way will feel easy and smooth.
Swinging hard will only reduce your power. Distance can only come from being fluid and accurate, and not from the amount of extra strength that you can put into it. Keep the idea of strength out of your head. You want to just use the amount of power that you will be able to control and manage. The purpose of the golf game is accuracy, not power. You want to have the ability to manage each part of your golf swing so that you just hit the ball cleanly and it goes wherever you need it to travel to your intended target.

When playing do you have trouble gauging how far a certain obstacle is, or how far away from the green you need to get to on your next golf shot? Are you that type of person with an uncanny ability to estimate how far you need to hit your next shot? For most people it’s a guessing game but, it so much more important when it comes to scoring.
It can make a huge difference between shooting a great score or being left to frustration and wanting to break every club in your bag.
When I was caddying professionally my job 30 years ago was to make sure I walked the golf course before my partner even showed up. You knew the distances of every golf club your pro swung at. It was your job to walk the fairways marking down every rock, sand traps, trees, water or any other permanent obstacle that you could gauge from the tees or any other spots from the fairways to the greens.
The Proper Way To Swing A Golf Club Starts With Having Good Tempo!
April 6, 2010 by Parshooters · 1 Comment
Last weekend was great for me! I got to do what I love best, and that is playing a round of golf with my friends. Being for most of us in our foursome it was the first time playing after the winter break. Most of us weren’t very good. We hit a lot of bad errant shots mixed in with some good ones. We kept score but, we were all higher than our normal scores.
What I noticed the most however, because the golf course was playing long due to standing water and some wind. That we were all overcompensating by swinging harder than normal to make up for the extra yardage, and because of it bad swing flaws were quite evident. Instead of swinging natural and with good rhythm.
Instead we were all rushing our golf swings, and the timing or tempo of our golf swings were totally out of sync. The erratic tempo we were exhibiting was due to hitting solely with our arms and trying to blast every shot as hard as you possibly can.
