Where To Find Comprehensive 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.
To see what works for you, just try out the different techniques until you feel comfortable. The golf swing is a fairly complex movement and there are several styles; from the newer stack and tilt golf swing to the traditional swing. Some online golf tips instruct you to grip the club firmly, tightly, or even loosely. These terms are quite subjective as they don't really tell you the amount of pressure to use - so just experiment until you find the right grip - I prefer a firm grip.When finding golf tips online, remember that there is more to golf than just the golf swing. Search for websites that show you the most all-inclusive golf tips. Probably one of the most important aspects of golf is the mental game of golf; which is often ignored. Here is a free golf tip - learn the inner game of golf techniques.
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.
Like I said before, look for golf tips online that covers every area of the golf game. Some of the things you need to learn are the grip; setup and stance; backswing, transition, and downswing; driving, fairway shots, chipping, bunker shots, and putting; course management; how to fix problems like the slice, hook, and pull / push shots; and the different trouble shots you will encounter - playing into the wind, deep rough, hill lies, and more.You could of course pay a professional golf instructor to learn all these things, but you will end up paying a lot of money for 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 one-on-one golf lessons and then visit the driving range to practice what you have learned. Finally, get out on the golf course and play a round of golf - and remember, to master the game of golf, you need to practice - happy golfing!
