Finding Complete Golf Tips Online

By Mick Euan Tait

Golfers have been fascinated with dominating the often frustrating game of golf ever since the game was invented in Scotland back in the 15th century. Since 1750, the modern game of golf evolved into what we know it as today. Mastering the game of golf is still as difficult as ever, even though golf equipment technology and teaching techniques have improved.

Thankfully, today we have the Internet and access to many golf tips online. Although I have played golf for over 30 years, I struggled to master the game until recently. With the many golf resources you can find online, it is now easier to discover the little "secrets" that can make a big difference with your game.

You can also buy many outstanding products, like golf swing training aids, golf instructional videos, and even several golf e-books that can help you master the game. But, it is also a good idea to start looking for some valuable free golf tips online. Take into account that you will find many different techniques - especially as regards to the transition from back-swing to downswing and the golf grip.

You have to just try out a few different techniques and see what works for you. The golf swing is a relatively complex movement and there are various styles - from the traditional to the newer stack and tilt golf swing. Some online golf tips you will find, will tell you to grip the club tightly, firmly or even loosely. These terms are quite subjective as to the amount of pressure to use, so just experiment until you find the right grip.

When looking for golf tips online, take into account that there is more to golf than just learning the golf swing. Look for resources that show you the most comprehensive golf tips online. One of the most important areas of golf, that is often ignored, is the mental game of golf. You want free golf tips? First, learn to dominate your inner game of golf.

Also, it is important to know what the right golf equipment (golf clubs and balls) is for your type of game. If you are starting out, look for clubs that are suited for the beginner golfer as they are more forgiving. Buy a driver and fairway woods with a graphite shaft, large titanium head, and perimeter weighting. For irons, choose iron shafts for accuracy, more sole weighting, and wider soles. For beginners or high handicap golfers, play a two-piece, mid spin, firm feel golf ball.

Look for golf tips online that cover the whole aspect of golf. Things you need to learn include the grip; setup and stance; backswing, transition, and downswing; driving, fairway shots, chipping, putting, and bunker shots; course management; how to fix problems like the slice, hook, and pull shot; and the different trouble shots you will face - deep rough, hill lies, playing into the wind, etc.

One option is to pay a professional golf coach to learn all these things, but you will end up paying a lot of money for so many lessons. My recommendation would be to start out to learn as much as possible with free online golf tips. You could then take a few personal golf lessons and then visit the driving range to practice what you have been taught. Finally, get out on the golf course and play a round of golf - at least twice a week. Remember, to master the game of golf, you need to practice, practice, practice. - 16887
