By taking note of the following tips and taking time to
work them out, you will surely be enjoying tournament
successes in no time. Developing the perfect golf swing
takes time and tons of practice. It also pays to take note
of how pro golfers execute their winning swings.

1. Ask any pro golfer, and he or she will tell you that the
power it takes to get that ball flying does not come from
the arms alone. Flow and use your entire body to achieve
maximum power. If you are used to fuelling the golf club
with your arms, wrist and hands, then you might struggle at
first trying to employ the rest of your body. Practice
hitting the ball with using your torso and legs. Once you
get the hang of swinging the club with your entire body,
you will notice that you are sending that ball flying with
more consistency and accuracy.

2. Swivel your shoulders perfectly each time you do a
backswing. Your right forearm should be parallel to your
spine and your left wrist is flat. To ensure you are doing
it the right way, your elbows and arms should form a
triangle. Make sure you got this effective position pat at
the top of your swing ñ you are guaranteed a perfectly
solid hit, and a more accurate one.

3. Many players dont make a solid hit because of two
reasons. First, the right way of pivoting the wrist is done
too late during the backswing because the takeaway is
likely to be too low to the ground. Second, achieving a bad
posture by swinging the club too far during the backswing,
thinking this is the right way to gain power. However,
taking note of a few things will help eradicate these
flaws. Make sure a 45-degree angle exists between your left
arm and the shaft of the club at setup. Your hands should
remain as close to the ground as possible during the
takeaway, while moving the head of the club upwards
rapidly. Notice how your left arm is parallel to the ground
and the shaft is perpendicular to it? This is about enough
to prevent you from swinging your arms too far at the
backswing; thus, putting off bad posture and reverse pivot.

4. Golf is an outdoor game, so itís best of you are able to
practice chipping outdoors. However, one is tempted to hit
chips indoors from time to time. You can perfect your
chipping with the help of a wooden rod or a busted club
shaft. Get the hang of your chipping technique ñ just make
sure that your left wrist remains solid as the club passes
through the area of impact. The rod or shaft you are using
will hit your left side should your left wrist give way
during the impact. Chipping is mastered with practice.

5. From time to time, even pro golfers get caught red
handed losing flex in their back legs as they try for
distance. Inconsistent swings constantly take the success
out of any game of golf. Itís best if you can view your
posture in a full-length mirror when you practice your
swings from time to time. Start with the setup position,
hold it then look at the mirror. Do the backswing, hold it
and observe your posture. This will help you determine your
postural flaws during your golf swing.
