How do I improve my Golf Swing?
One reason why golf can become such a difficult game is simply because there are so many different ways of playing it correctly; and the one secret, for any golfer striving to improve, is to decide first which is his or her own correct way.
(John Jacobs).
This series of pages will give you free advice and tips on how to relax and develop a golf swing and short game that will withstand the pressure of competition.
Each part of the game needs separate skills that not everyone has as a natural asset. Many of the skills are not easily understood, and take time and a lot of practice to develop and hone.
There are many other aspects that can be easily understood, and where the smallest of changes in your approach to the game, can bring immediate developments.
The advice you will find in this series of pages is not meant to be difficult and doesn't require you to look at a lot of complex diagrams. Most of it is extremely simple and sometimes fairly obvious so if you think it is trying to 'teach granny to suck eggs' then we apologise. What we want to do is provide you with some ideas that you can think about and perhaps take on board. If they work then you win; if you don't use them then you have lost nothing and finally if you try them and they don't work for you then at least you have tried to do something about your game.
