4 Breakthrough Tips to Boost Your Golf Game This Season

Golf is a game of strategy, sportsmanship, and athleticism, which is typically what makes it such an enjoyable activity for millions of people worldwide. However, those who treat it more than simply a fun afternoon once in a blue moon will be constantly looking for ways to improve their game and ultimately lower their handicap. We will investigate four tips that can help those players who want to get better not only for the bragging rights against their mates but also for their own sense of self-satisfaction.

Save Your Energy And Invest In A Cart

Golf is actually a far more involved game than most people give it credit for, and even if you have been playing for years, one of the best ways to get an instant boost is to preserve your energy for where it matters. If you have never entertained the idea of purchasing a golf cart, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much it can improve your game simply by virtue of not being exhausted by the time you reach the final few holes.

If you aren’t entirely convinced of this point, your best bet is to rent one from your local club first and see how you get on. Once you have been converted, you can pop down to your local golf cart dealership and repair service shop to discuss with the sales guys what your requirements are and then put pen to paper. Just remember that a golf cart isn’t a set-and-forget vehicle and will require regular servicing to ensure it remains at peak operating efficiency.

Put More Effort Into Your Short Game

As most intermediate golfers understand, it’s the short game that wins games and that will lower your handicap to truly remarkable numbers. The more effort you put into this aspect of the game, the better you will become.

Unfortunately, most beginners are only interested in smashing the ball as far as possible in hopes of getting it onto the green in as few strokes as possible. While you do need to focus on this to a certain extent, it will ultimately be your putting ability that gets you that albatross or possibly even the elusive Condo that you so desire.

Master Your Grip For Better Control

Your stance is a great way to see who knows what they’re doing and who is just at the start of their golfing journey. However, while getting your stance correct is absolutely vital, your grip is just as important and often overlooked in favor of your overall stance. If you’ve been playing for some time and developed a few bad habits, you will need to do your best to regain a proper grip, either by forcing yourself to think about it every time you play or hiring a coach to instill it in you.

Practice, Practice, Practice

Ok, so this tip might not exactly be what you might call a “breakthrough” tip, but it is the very thing that any player seeking continual improvement ought to be doing. The more time you put into improving your game, the more you will see yourself develop over time. You don’t always need to head down to the course either, and you can use a virtual golf facility if one exists near where you live.

There are lots of things you can do to get better at golf, from hiring a coach to practicing more. However, the fours mentioned in this post should start you off properly and be ready to move up the tables at your local club.
