The Proper Way To Swing A Golf Club Is By Using Fujikura Golf Shafts!

Have you ever noticed that the harder you swing the golf club the less farther it will go? How many times have you played golf with someone who thinks he can rip the cover off the golf ball like he was trying to make it explode on impact? The main reason why most golfers will try to overswing is because of lack of confidence in their golf clubs. The proper way to swing a golf club isn’t trying to swing at it as hard as you can. When you do this your golf ball is only going to go all over the golf course, because of lack of control. If your goal is to simply relieve a lot of tension, then that method will work for you, but if you’re serious about playing better golf you’ll want to try a different approach.
The proper way to swing a golf club is with less aggression towards the golf ball. By swinging smoother it not only will have you hitting the ball more consistently, but also a lot farther. Playing better golf requires better accuracy, control and consistency. Relax and don’t try to overswing by tensing up and trying to muscle the golf ball out there 300 yards. Focus on a smoother easier golf swing, and concentrate on making solid contact every time with the golf ball. Your goal is accuracy and not power right now. When you swing slower you have more control, which leads to better accuracy.

Are You Aware That You Need To Change Your Golf Swing Mechanics As You Get Older?

The hot weather has hit our area in New York, and yesterday I found myself having trouble hitting a quality golf shot from about the 14′th hole on. At one point I started feeling light headed, and in need of water. What should you carry in your golf bag to help compensate for the heat? You should carry a bottle of water, a light sandwich, peanut butter crackers or candy bar. Anything that can give you a quick burst of sugar energy. You should stay away from drinking beer or any type of alcohol, because this will dehydrate you faster.
For the first ten holes, I was hitting solid golf shots and my golf swing mechanics was where they should be. However, as the golf round continued on, I noticed there was a loss of power in my golf swing. Which meant the golf course started playing longer, and my golf scores were getting worse by at least a stroke or two per hole. So, what causes this to happen?
Golf is a mindset game vs. being physical. Your golfing mind needs to be sharpened periodically. It’s very easy to lose focus when your golfing round isn’t going the way you believe it should. That’s why you start feeling drained mentally, because your self-confidence is shakened. At the end of 18 holes, you feel like you just played 36 holes instead. That’s how I felt yesterday.
Are You Aware Of Your Golf Swing Mechanics When Chipping Or Putting?

The hardest part about golf swing mechanics is learning to finesse the golf ball around the greens. This is the least amount of time spent in practicing the chipping, pitching, putting and sand play before playing a round of golf. For most amateurs we don’t allow for enough time to practice before hitting the golf links. As soon as we get to the golf course we jump out of our cars, and go directly into the pro shop to take care of business first. Then we go get our golf clubs and shoes, and maybe get a few quick practice putts in, along with swinging the driver, an expect to be all warmed up.
What happens next, most of the time it becomes a rocky picture horror show. With our expectations now reduced down to trying how to figure out what to do next in order to survive. For the majority of amateurs or weekend golfers this happens a lot for the first few holes before we’re adequately warmed up. The only way to combat high scores is being able to have an adequate short game to make up for the mistakes being made from tee to green. Most of the amateurs I play with hit the ball well enough from tee to green, but when they get within 50 yards of the green they seem to struggle. They’ll tell me, “I don’t have time to practice these shots, I’m not a pro, and they do have all the time in the world to stand and work on these shots, so they do develop the consistency in their feel.”
The goal when chipping or pitching in golf is to get the ball to travel the least amount of distance in the air and have it roll along the green. The problem with most golfers they’ll anticipate their chip shots, and will have the habit of looking up too soon to see where the ball is going. One major problem with this is that golfers will forget about their golf swing mechanics. What typically ends up happening as a result is that by looking up, the leading hand wrist bends, causing the golfers hands to flick through the chip shot. The end result is that the club head is picked up too steeply, and a blade type shot occurs which sends the ball on more of a line drive trajectory. The reason is that the wrists bend or break before contact is made with the golf ball or ground in an attempt to delicately place the ball onto the green. The solution is to make sure your wrists don’t break, especially the leading wrist, and that your follow through continues just like a normal golf shot.
Do You Have The Correct Golf Mindset When Putting? Part I

If you fear making big mistakes in playing then your not alone. Tiger Woods and other great superstars who stand to win big paychecks from making or losing on short putts have this same fear as a weekend golfer. Taking the safe route has its own costs to bear. Even the best golfers will miss the opportunity to make birdies by taking the safer shot to put themselves in best position to not make bogeys. This is done out of fear, because the agony of having to lose a stroke to par outweighs the thrill of a birdie.
Researchers who keeps statistics calculates this type of decision making can cost the average professional golfer about one stroke during a 72 hole tournament. For the top 20 golfers this can be as much as $1.2 million in prize money lost for the year. The analysis shows that all golfers will avoid the possibility of loss by playing conservatively when they have the opportunity to score big by taking the gamble or risk.
Jack Nicklaus was the best when making short putts when the pressure is on. For myself, I had just made a great third shot to within 3ft of the hole on the 15′th hole, on my home golf course. I made the no brainer putt to put me two under par for the round. It dawned on me waiting on the 16′th tee that I must be leading the club championship and I had the greatest opportunity of my lifetime to break 70 which I’ve never done before. It was a realization moment that woke me up out of my dream state that I was in.
Golf Instructions For The Short Game.

Learn Your Short Game Mechanics For Improved Play!
Most of us golfers will struggle mightily with trying to lower our golf scores, and our handicaps to the point of frustration. What most golfers don’t stop to realize is that your short game is at least 50% of your golf scores. Without a good short game which includes anything within 100 yards of the pin placement on the green, chipping, pitching and putting, your ability to score well will diminish significantly. For most average to high handicappers the ability to scramble is paramount to what you do on each and every golf hole. You can expect to miss the green during a golf round more than two-thirds of the time.
We will spend endless hours on the driving range hitting drivers, to the point of exhaustion. We’ll work diligently on our golf game to prove to ourselves that those new hybrids really are much easier to hit than our long irons. We hit golf ball after balls trying to gain some much needed confidence in our fairway metals, and we are quick to buy that new set of irons that is guaranteed to be much more forgiving and deadly accurate.
I have been fortunate over the years to watch, learn and implement the same golf instructions and tips from some of the best short game artist on the tour and amateurs alike. I’ve played on my home golf course where the greens were very narrow width wise and had a lot of different kinds of mounds around them. In order to score you had to learn how to chip, and putting played a huge part in the scrambling of getting up and down. Hitting a long ball off the tee and in the fairway does make playing the golf hole a lot easier. No Question! However, in order to improve your golf scores it’s a lot more than just being able to hit good quality golf shots.
Compare Review Golf Range Finders!

The Callaway LR 550 Laser Rangefinder provides quick and accurate distance measurement up to 550 yards. It features first target technology which displays the range to the nearest target among multiple results obtained with a single measurement. Best used when measuring the distance to a pin on a green with woods in the back ground. It has a 6x magnification at distances greater than 100 yards accuracy, and is accurate to within 5 yards.
Technically speaking, it is the budget model of the Callaway line of golf range finders. It doesn’t appear to lack much in terms of features. In fact, despite being scaled back in some functions, its low price tag has been found by the Callaway Rangefinder LR550 Review to address the constant complaints that the LR1200 model was too pricey to be worthwhile. There is $200 difference between the two models.

I’ve had the yellow LR550 for two full seasons now and I have never failed to get an accurate yardage reading, from bunkers, water edges, trees, even grass or hills behind pins. It seem to track perfectly, and I have had no problems with cloudy weather conditions, however it doesn’t work well when there is fog.
