How to Improve my Golf Swing

How to improve my golf swing the easy way

I just love the game of golf now (after years of frustration), and learning how to improve my golf swing greatly contributed to this love in a big way. If you read on below I will tell you some of my secrets and also show an inspirational video which played a great part in how I improved my golf swing finally.

I wasn’t always good at golf, but for some unknown reason I just took a huge liking to the game. I think I used to hit about one or two good shots a round which made me want to come back ;)

It may also be that I loved being outside, or meeting new people. Maybe it was the satisfaction of just being able to hit the ball and knowing I had good hand to eye coordination.

I wouldn’t say I had the best handicap, but I was content. I guess I was what you would call a weekend golfer. It was great to get out and enjoy the fresh air.

In time though, I noticed that my handicap was getting worse. Of course I had gotten older and I put it down to this. I tried to improve my golf swing, knowing this is a very common issue. It didn’t seem to work. I even went as far as to have a couple of lessons with the local pro in Burgess Hill, England. The instructor said I was doing fine. So as much as I didn’t want to I put my faults down to getting older. Who wants to admit they are becoming a senior golfer? mmmm thats not much fun.

Unfortunately my enjoyment of golf started to diminish. I was getting worse and it was frustrating to me, at times even embarrassing.

As luck would have it I visited my local driving range. I figured I would practice before my next and possibly last round of golf. I really wanted to learn how to improve my golf swing.

I bumped into a wonderful lady at the driving range. We started chatting and I expressed my feelings about not knowing why my golf game seemed to be going downhill. Well, she told me she was a golf pro and actually coached a lot of junior players. She offered to watch me drive a few balls.

Within minutes she stopped me. She told me that my golf swing was wrong! After all these years I was hitting the ball wrong, why hadn’t anyone told me before? Including the pro that I had seen recently? I was fuming at the instructor whom I had paid for lessons. He should have seen that my swing was wrong and shown me how to improve my golf swing. I guess it just comes down to personal preference. This lady also told me that Tiger Woods’ swing was not brilliant and that he has one of the worst fairway hit records on the PGA tour! Wow, I wasnt aware of that!

Anyway, once I had calmed down, this nice lady spent some time offering me tips on how to improve my golf swing. She gave me some drills to practice at home as well. I have to say this was the best afternoon ever. I made a great friend and learnt how to improve my golf swing and how to improve my handicap.

I made sure to practice hard and the next time I played a round of golf, my score had improved. Even my fellow golfers were surprised.

So the lesson I learnt was not to be afraid to ask for help. Research who you choose to give you lessons and above all don’t give up. If you are having trouble with some aspects of your golf game then you can learn methods to improve them.

I have seen a pretty great video describing a few of the more important tips the old lady taught me that day. Check it out below:
