Golf Swing Secrets

The biggest factor is improving your golf spring is the ability to practice on a regular basis. If you do not have the time necessary to go to a driving range or practice facility on a regular basis or use your golf rounds as your practice time you will want to practice your golf swing at home. Practicing at home does not mean that you just go out in the back yard and start taking divots out of the yard. First of all, your wife will want to kill you for keeping the yard like the course from the movie CaddyShack.

You will want to buy some practice balls (waffle golf balls) for less than five dollars a dozen and make a practice schedule for the clubs you want to practice your swing with. The issue at hand is creating an environment at home that is conducive to not being interrupted and so you can spend an hour working on all aspects of your game to practice your swing at home.

First of all, prepare for practice at home like you would for heading out to play a round at your local golf club. You will need to wear the same type of clothes, get your golf glove and put your golf spikes on and carry your clubs out back. If you need to take a beer with you to make it seem like you are on the course than by all means crack open a cold one.

Once you are set up with all of your equipment set aside the clubs you want to work on your swing with. Here are some tips to keep in mind when practicing your swing at home. Most golfers have a tendency to let their left knee collapse during the swing which brings your shoulder down, your hips to move sideways and you will over turn. To stop this from happening take a basketball and keep it between your knees while swinging. At first it will be uncomfortable but you will begin to see results in just a few swings.

Do you ever wonder where your hands are during your swing? Where they are at all points is crucial to whether you strike the ball squarely or not. On your backswing your right hand should have the thumb pointing up as though you were hitch hiking when your hands are waist high. Another great tip to remember to keep your swing from getting too fast is to consciously pause at the top of your backswing before starting your down swing.
