Prepare your body
Many believe that to play golf you only need to buy the club and have a good “swing”. But the issue is not that simple, because you also need to have a good physical condition, strength and flexibility to hit hard and go all the field. If you’re not well prepared physically, you may tire quickly or even badly hurt with a given movement.
Before reaching the tee output (starting point), consider the following:

Heats . As with any sport, you need to warm up your muscles before you start. Every time you swing to hit a ball, you’re moving the muscles of your hands, wrists, arms, back, shoulders, waist, abdomen and legs … almost all your body! Start with a bit of cardio (walking or jogging) and then do stretches to keep your muscles hurt and you have more flexibility in your swing.

Exercise. Exercise regularly to keep your body in good condition and stamina to go 18 holes without breaking down. Aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, swimming, skating or bicycling, are ideal.

Strengthen your muscles. Have you seen the golfer’s arms? The stronger your muscles are, the faster and stronger you can be your coup. In addition, the less likely you are to hurt them. Do strengthening exercises continuously, even in seasons that do not play, to keep your muscles strong and prepared throughout the year. Read the rest of this entry »

Firmness in the coup : If you can not hit the ball firmly try to get the habit of putting his right shoulder under his chin before looking where the ball is going. This does not mean keeping your head down for good. Let your head move, but brings his shoulder up after contact with the ball.

Power swing: For a powerful swing, you must use the large muscles of the legs and trunk. The common instinct of many amateurs is to hit the ball with only the arms and wrists. Occasionally you can connect, but for consistency and real power, uses the whole body, not just part of it.

Accuracy in defining near the hole : the great advice that can change the definition of history and closing a hole is centered on the putt and how to grab the stick. We must bear in mind that putt hits the wrist should not move at all, simply leave free the movement of arms and any small movement of the wrists cause a deviation in the trajectory of the ball and it can hurt us score on the hole.

The strength indicates the strength not to exit a bunker : When we fall into a sand trap, for example, is very common that the coup is out of it exceeds the force that we apply. To solve this problem we must fix the idea that what marks the distance the ball must travel is the “finish” the way it ended or close our coup. If the ball has to travel a great distance we will finish near blows over and we will make a short finish.

Another great tip is followed by some professionals, having completed the hole, repeating those hits that have caused big headache to make “clean slate”. If you look at this issue you will see how you get better predisposed to start your next hole and relax mentally to perform at your best in your next shot.

One of the major flaws in the game of any golfer can be a tendency to hit a big fat piece. Many of the golf tips you will see are designed to help players correct common swing flaws, but if your biggest problem is a cut, you probably need a little more specific guidance. If you ever stood over the ball and setting up your thought was perfect, but then followed it up with a slice big and ugly, you know exactly how frustrating it can be sliced ​​to hit. The good news is that you can correct your golf swing with golf tips on the right. When your golf swing has corrected its chops will soon disappear. When you are trying to fix your golf swing, look at your swing plane first.

The swing plane is the way while his club is hitting the ball. It starts at the beginning of your swing and carried out in an arc until you finish your swing. If your swing plane is off center probably hit a piece. We must remember that you have different clubs for a reason, and you should not use the same swing plane with every club in your bag. When you’re hitting your driver, your swing plane should not be as vertical. If you want to improve your golf swing to eliminate slicing, take a look at your grip. The way you have your golf club will strongly affect the flight of the ball to reach. If the attachment is very loose club head is turned on you, causing the ball to slice. If the grip is too tight, also end with a twist, because you pull the club over his shoulder. Find and use a grip that’s just right – allowing you to hit the ball in front and does not allow the clubhead to deviate from the center.

Here’s another golf tips that will be cut out of his game: remember to look at the balance in your golf swing. Think about your swing and how and where to end. Many players know that they can judge the quality of your golf swing so well that ends. Ask yourself if you finish your swing with confidence or to lose your balance? Do you use or have the energy swing too hard? You will learn that while you are practicing, there are several reasons to freeze its position at the end of its stroke. This allows you to be able to judge if your weight is balanced and how you feel at the end of its stroke.

Take time to check their alignment. Do not forget that your whole body is involved in your golf swing. Too many amateur golfers spend too much time working with the upper body. While this is important, you also find that you need to think about how your legs and stand. Take a look down and make sure your body is aligned with the place you want your ball to go. Golf tips to help you improve your golf swing are easy to find, and indeed at times seem to be everywhere . If you cut the ball, look for golf tips to help you get rid of that annoying banana ball!

The review of the decision on annulment 33-7/4.5 of disqualification for errors in the score card only affects very specific circumstances related to the technological advances in the treatment of images on television.

Last Thursday came into effect immediately, the review of the decision to annul 33-7/4.5 the disqualification penalty when a player delivers a wrong result. Do you suppose the review of the decision 33-7/4.5 a substantial modification of the Rules of Golf?
The review of the decision 33-7/4.5 implies a change in the interpretation of the Rules of Golf, as long as the rules take into account aspects related to technological advances in the treatment of the images on television, that is, example, the technology of High Definition (HD) cameras and Super-Slow-Motion.

However, in everyday life, does not imply any change. Indeed, the decision says that “generally, the disqualification prescribed by Rule 6-6d should not be rescinded or modified.”

Under the decision, so you can consider the cancellation of the disqualification penalty for giving a wrong result, the Committee must be “satisfied that the competitor could not reasonably have known or newly discovered facts that led to its violation of Rules “.

It is true that it is not necessary that a competition is being televised for a player to commit an infraction of the rules which made it unable to meet. However, if the player and those around him are unable to observe these events when they occur, the only way that would normally be to meet them after the events had been filmed in high-resolution video, so that a replay later showed the facts with accuracy superior to that available to the player and his fellow-competitors at the time of the offense.

The Rules of Golf of the Royal and Ancient, that little booklet that looks like a cumbersome program of instructions for the most sophisticated electronic devices that run the house, closer to the fan base in its 2008 edition.
New rules, new decisions and all explained in a simple way is new ahead for next year. Paul Chavez, Chairman of the Rules of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation appreciates the changes.

Will a change in rules R & A will be for all the world?
Yes The USGA, the body that controls the United States and Mexico, and the Royal and Ancient, which controls the world, agree every four years to update or modify the Rules of Golf, and every two years for the Book Decisions. This year has hit double work. When will enter into force? Our intention is to take effect from 1 January. We have one last meeting at the Club Las Pinaillas, Albacete, and we will not leave there until we finish all the work. In simple terms, what have been fundamental changes? The main basis of the rules has changed in two respects: first, the better application of existing rules, and secondly, to adjust the penalties.

Two substantial variations that affect almost all the rules. It has also been tried in a language easy and affordable to all. And the big news of the rulebook this year is that within it, in the first pages, there is a compendium of the most basic rules and a fast and effective consultation. What rules change and we can affect the players amateurs? I am going to list it easy for everyone to understand. – Identify the ball: the ball must be identified in a hazard. From now you can make, play, lifting the ball and identify it and put it back into place (you could not before). This concept affects primarily Rule 15. – Rule 19. A ball moving, stopped or deflected by the caddy or any of your computer (typically the case that the obstacle to take a ball hits you yourself, or misplaced bag or caddy, etc.), used to have a two-stroke penalty is now reduced to one. – punches not accumulate (eg Rule 20). You do not earn penalties for playing a ball that should not be. Read the rest of this entry »

The first basic rule is not to speak or make noises or gestures that may distract the opponent while hitting the ball.
When a player is going to hit the ball, you must make sure the hole is open or the group that precedes it is a safe distance so as not to hit them. You must also ensure that no person is in the path of the ball. In the event that someone is there to shout to warn and apologize personally for the event.

The player with the ball from the hole has the right to strike first.
If a player loses his ball group in a forest, bushes, etc.. the other players, courtesy, should help to find her.
Should a player hit the ball touch him from a bunker, you should rake the impact site after the coup to smooth the sand (along with rakes bunkers should be: it is an obligation of the club).

In the greens have to be very careful with small shafts or holes left to drop the balls normally. When this happens, you have to fix smoothing the green. Also be careful with the imaginary lines that exist on the green between the ball and the hole, as if along this line there are footprints, they can cause a change in the trajectory of the ball.
Near the lake there are areas that serve to re-dropped when the ball falls into one: the player must release the ball replacement to shoulder height to keep playing the hole.

It is essential to be honest counting penalty points to be added to get the ball out of bounds or falling into a lake.
In addition to these general rules, golf clubs usually have their own rules.

It is the most important golf shot. If you want to get an edge over others is precisely the point where you have to putt. No matter how skilled you are with other clubs, about 40% of strokes in a running back with the putter.

There is an old saying in golf: “The drive gets the glory, the victory putt.” And it has much truth. If you look at the statistics of the players in the various tours, the first of the lists of profits are not the longest hitters, are best putts are average.

And is that the putt is the most important golf shot. If you want to get an edge over others is precisely the putt (Beat that gives the ball to be above the green to hole in the pit) where to aim the darts. No matter how skilled you are with other clubs, about 40% of strokes in a running back with the putter.

There are big players in green, that without an excellent set of irons and woods, fought for years and went on to win many times due to their short game, and Corey Pavin, Curtis Strange and Lee Janzen. Pavin and Strange are both quite short hitters, his average drive does not exceed 270 yards, but the green are real beasts. A putt from 3 feet or less for 95% of the time going inside.

Reviewing tournaments on weekends, I see many people fail given putts, I even students who fail putts of 30 centimeters. Think that the last few inches have exactly the same as a big drive of 230 meters is very painful. I personally think it just makes me sick!

Every putt failed less than a meter, should be considered stroke penalty. If you start to see it that way we could begin to practice some more. Everyone exits practice, since in each vueta a blow to be trees or water. If we missed short putts as a punishment, I guarantee you probably have more penalty strokes with the putter than the driver.

To solve this problem, we need only review the form of heating. Instead of putting the emphasis on swing, let’s focus on kick before the turn. I encourage you to work on putts from 1 to 2 meters during heating. the aim should be to make 20 putts in a row one meter and at least ten consecutive 2 meters. This will allow you to get more conviction about the putt, and has more feelings about the speed of the greens.

Even if you can not achieve the objectives the first time you try, keep practicing. After all, if you can not achieve these objectives, you may need extra work.
