No serious golfer will fail to be eager and maybe even desperate for a golf swing tip that actually works. This is because of the simple reason that a golf swing is the most important single aspect of a good golf game and yet for most golfers, it ends up being the most frustrating, causing many to swear never to set foot on a course again.

Many golfers suffer from back pains, which greatly affect the quality of their golf swing. For others getting a relatively consistent swing is virtually impossible.

All would greatly benefit from the following golf swing tip.

You will be delighted to know that this golf swing tip does not involve your having to spending any time away from work or your current schedule.

The golf swing tip I am talking about involves a golf stretch exercise that you can do without leaving your office or workstation.

Simple golf stretch exercises are the sort of golf swing tips that have revolutionized many a game. Some of our clients who have greatly benefited from this particular golf swing tip have even written nice comments thanking me for the extra advantage of helping ease their back pain problems.

A word of caution here is in order. There are almost as many different types of back pains as there are people suffering from them. So although these golf exercises have had very positive effect on many, this golf swing tip is no guarantee to heal any back pain.

Still there is no denying that the golf stretch exercise done from the comfort of any office has helped a great deal.

While still seated upright and erect on your chair, reach behind you with one arm. Twist as far back as you can go. Twist the other way and repeat. You can then go both ways two to three times. Each time hold for 10 seconds.

This golf swing tip in the form of a stretch exercise usually has the effect of dramatically improving the back swing and the follow through motions. The result is better club head speed and more distance.

There are a number of other golf swing tips in the form of simple exercises that you can do, but you can try this one for starters and observe what it does for you and your game.

Every golfer wants to know the secret golf tip to improve their distance. The secret, is there is NO secret. It s common sense, and treating golf like a sport. The golf swing is not for the weak and feeble anymore.

Any golf tips you hear to improve distance should somehow be directly or indirectly related to the physical side of the golf swing. I mean don t you think the swing puts a tremendous amount of pressure on your body, especially your lower back?

To alleviate this pain and quickly improve your distance takes strength and stretching, specific to your body and your golf swing.

So the quick fixes (band aides) you hear in all the magazines and on the golf channel are short-term fixes. You won t be able to consistently duplicate it until you improve your physical limitations.

So let s get to these simple, yet valuable tips.

Tip #1:

Perform a dynamic warm-up prior to the first tee. Don t ever skip it. It is more important than hitting balls before you play. How many times do you see a professional athlete go on the field and start playing? Never. That s my point.

A Simple Warm-Up could be some arm circles, toe touches, squats with your club, and standing twists holding the club out in front of you chest high.

That s it! Simple yet very effective to prepare your body for that LONG drive on the first tee.

Tip #2

Stretching on the course will keep your body nice and loose to make that FULL backswing, generating high clubhead speed and consistently LONG drives. There are just a few KEY stretches specific to your swing, that can keep your body relaxed for 18 holes.

One stretch I ll tell you is the backswing/shoulder stretch. It s a very simple stretch that will maintain a full and fluid backswing.

All you do is get in your golf posture, with your arms hanging naturally in front of you. For a right-handed golfer, you would take your right hand underneath your left, so the back of both hands are touching each other.

Now gently apply pressure from the back of your right hand against your left and pull your upper body all the way in your backswing and hold. Hold it for 15 seconds and repeat once more.

This stretch should be done on almost every hole to get the most out of it.

Tip #3

Improve your core strength and rotational speed. This one is done off the course , and can even be done in your home with minimal equipment. Now this is just one tip (exercise) of many you can do to dramatically explode your drives on the course .

Since the golf swing is a turn back and a turn through, it is rotational in nature. Then why wouldn t you do many exercises to improve your rotational strength and flexibility?

If you re serious about your game, you will now!

One simple golf exercise is the Seated Twist with a dumbbell. It s very easy and can be done with a 5 or 8 pound dumbbell.

While sitting on the ground, grab a single dumbbell with both hands and hold it out in front of you.

Now lean back putting tension on the abs. Your legs will be bent at a 90 degree angle in the knee, and together.

Start rotationg side to side, only with your upper body. Try keeping your lower body as stable as possible.

You will do 3 sets of 20 repetitions to get the full benefit of the exercise. Again, this is just ONE exercise of many that will strengthen your rotational muscles of your core.

I ve just showed you 3 quick and easy golf tips to dramatically increase your distance. Now go out and make it happen!

As an avid golfer I truly enjoy all aspects of the game but for me the most difficult time comes right before my driver smacks the golf ball. Unfortunately I suffer from a problem of wanting to hit the golf ball as hard as possible in order to send it down the fairway. What I’ve discovered is although this technique may help me relieve a little bit of stress built up throughout the week; it does absolutely nothing remotely good for my golf game or score. In fact quite the opposite is true. The harder I hit the golf ball the higher my golf score is at the end of a round and even worse I have less control on where I want my golf ball to land. I quickly come to realize that hitting a golf ball without trying to rip the cover off the ball actually improves my game.

The key to a good golf game begins with your driving skills and swinging of the club. If you want to steadily improve your game and lower your score then you need to ease off the power strokes and instead concentrate on a more natural and accurate swing. True a powerful swing does look impressive but not when you send your golf ball onto the next fairway thereby losing any chance of achieving a par on your current hole.

The best way to drive for accuracy is to avoid swinging the golf club as hard as you can. Instead concentrate on relaxing and focusing on striking the golf ball. This simple technique will allow you to reduce your power but won’t diminish the distance the ball goes once struck by your driver. One crucial thing you must avoid as you focus on hitting your golf ball is the tendency to tense up. Doing so won’t allow you to accurately drive your ball with your stroke. One thing you may want to do is try various ways of positioning your feet. This can also add or decrease to your power and allow you to control where your golf ball lands after hitting it with your golf club.

Ask anyone that golf’s on a regular basis and they will also tell you that staying put once you position your feet will help in your driving distance. Just like a boxer, your center of gravity must be stable. This keeps your body from head to toe properly aligned allowing for a better golf swing. An important tip here is to keep your weight evenly positioned and fully supported by your feet. This prevents any adverse body jerking which destroys your focus and causes your head to move thus taking your eyes off the golf ball you’re about to hit.

By following the methods mentioned above you’ll find that you golf club will travel in a relatively straight line allowing the club head to strike the golf ball with an enormous force without all of the intentional power that causes you to throw your balance out of whack.

Slicing is another problem that plagues many golfers. The key to avoiding it is to hit the golf ball directly in the center of your club head and with a low trajectory. This keeps the golf ball from going to the far right or left where it usually ends of leaving the fairway and going into what’s commonly referred to as the rough.

So what’s the moral of this article? The reality is a golf ball will travel further once hit by a correct swing from a focused golfer as opposed to a pure power swing. Simply put you should only be concerned with using the amount of power that allows you to effectively control where to send the golf ball.
