How to be good at golf
Golf is a sport and can be learned. Practice makes perfect. The higher the level of play one achieves, the more practice of fundamentals has to occur. Golf is no exception to this rule. So, if you are serious, practice, practice, practice.
Swings should be practiced regularly. Some clubs will hit better for you than others. If you have a nice size yard, you can set up practice areas. Doing this in private allows you to get the fundamentals down before hitting the green. Follow Danny and Monty. You can watch people on the green or on television. You can hire a pro (but this will reduce the size of your wallet), you can take a class, or subscribe to a golfing magazine.
Watching professional golfers play the game helps also. Take note of how pros swing their clubs and what techniques they practice. This is a good way for you to start building skills as well as absorbing more game lore.
Having fun will help drive your game improvement. The more fun you have, the better motivated you will be to practice all aspects of the game. A small commitment to fitness will also help improve your game. Many people have trouble in the last few holes due to the fact that their stamina runs out. Doing a short, minimal fitness plan can help you avoid this common pitfall.
Regular discipline when training also translates into better discipline when playing golf. When you take the time to improve your fitness this helps your commitment to improve your golf game.
There are certain specific exercises that can improve your swing. Anything that improves grip strength, shoulder strength, and core strength (stomach and lower back) can improve your swing. Be aware though, doing too much at first can lead to discouragement.
In order to improve you overall body strength you will find that a little running, some stretches, and some lifting will do wonders for your stamina on the greens.
When you are looking for equipment to exercise with two basics to start with are a medicine ball and an exercise ball. These two items can help you improve strength and flexibility.
If you want to go whole hog, you can always buy an inexpensive set of weights. When you begin your work out (with your doctors permission) you will notice a difference in your game. Start slow with small weights and build up over time. Remember, ligaments and tendons gain strength much slower than muscle, so be aware that going up in weight too much too quick can create injuries that take a long time to heal.
