Proper Golf Swing

There are many aspects of a proper golf swing that need to be addressed in order to make you a well rounded golfer.

There's a saying in golf that goes: "You drive for show, and putt for dough!" There is definite value in that statement, because on the scorecard, a two inch putt counts the same as a 300 yard drive. However, a proper golf swing extends beyond just the drive and putt.

You need to learn how to chip, pitch, draw, fade, and hit shots out of various lies. That is where this page comes in!

On my Golf Swing Tips page, I explained to you all of the key aspects of an effective golf swing from the takeaway to the follow through. Here, we focus on some of the other important aspects of golf that every golfer needs to be able to do in order to lower scores.

No matter how good of a golfer that you are, you are going to encounter trouble at some point on the course. Hopefully, this page will either provide a refresher for some, or will help beginners take their game to the next level.

How To Hit A Draw

One of the most important shots that you can add to your game is a draw. This is where your shot bends slightly from right to left. The difference between this and a hook is that a draw is intended, and most importantly, on target. A draw shot can become very important whenever you are facing an obstacle such as a tree or body of water. Every great golfer knows how to pull this shot off and so should you!

How To Hit A Fade

How To Chip Effectively

Once you are around the green, learning how to chip will allow you to hit it close to the pin and reduce the number of putts that you need to finish. The key to chipping lies in the setup because you want to take a downward swing on the ball. Once you become comfortable with the proper golf swing needed for chipping, you can experiment with different clubs depending on the distance and layout of the green.
