http://www.golfarticles.net/Category/Golf-Instruction/55 Golf Instruction articles from Golf Articles Rss Follow Up Fri, 30 Jul 2010 15:23:00 -0500 The contribution of the body to the golf swing has been over emphasized for years. I guess one reason for this fact is that body positions were easy to point out in a golf magazine. Problem is, the over use of the body or excess body motion continues to be the killer of the golf swing for many a golfer, holding them back from their true potential. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Swing-Like-A-Pirate--Use-Your-ARRRRRMS-/672 Mon, 15 May 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Swing-Like-A-Pirate--Use-Your-ARRRRRMS-/672 Over the winter is an excellent time to make lasting changes in your swing movement. Why? Because it takes slow deliberate repetitions to teach your body to change motions or patterns which you probably would not be willing to do during the season because you want to play. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-To-Lower-Your-Handicap-Over-The-Winter/669 Mon, 08 May 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-To-Lower-Your-Handicap-Over-The-Winter/669 Transferring your perfect consistent driving range warm up swing to the golf course is a typical dilemma and a frustration of many a golfer. Youre killing it on the range, everything seems perfect. Youre convinced that you will have your best round ever and then right on the first tee you yank it out of bounds! http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Taking-Your-Swing-From-the-Driving-Range-to-the-Course/666 Mon, 08 May 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Taking-Your-Swing-From-the-Driving-Range-to-the-Course/666 Keep in mind that when someone slices the ball, their body is moving faster than their arms and club. A person who hooks the ball too much is doing the opposite. Their hands, arms and club are moving faster than their body. Since most people slice the ball, it is easy to see that it is almost impossible to swing your arms too fast. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-To-Reach-The-Proper-Impact-Position---It-s-All-That-Counts-/665 Tue, 25 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-To-Reach-The-Proper-Impact-Position---It-s-All-That-Counts-/665 The transition from loading to unloading should be smooth and rhythmic. The tempo may vary form person to person but it is important not to make the transition too jerky. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Starting-Your-Down-Swing-For-Power/664 Tue, 25 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Starting-Your-Down-Swing-For-Power/664 The question may seem too simple. Alignment deals with the shoulders, hips, knees and feet. We want these four body parts all in alignment so they are all pointing in the same direction. Pointing them in the same direction is aiming. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/What-does--Alignment--mean-and-how-is-it-different-from--Aim--/615 Tue, 11 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/What-does--Alignment--mean-and-how-is-it-different-from--Aim--/615 Here are the greatest lies in golf.

Some students improve more than others, even if some golfers don't realize it at first. However the break down is in maintaining the improvement. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Why-Golf-Lessons-Don-t-Seem-To-Help-As-Much-As-They-Should/609 Sat, 08 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Why-Golf-Lessons-Don-t-Seem-To-Help-As-Much-As-They-Should/609 Remember if you are off on your amount of break by a foot or two it probably wont cause you to three putt. Its that putt you leave seven feet short or twelve feet past the hole that will cause you to three putt. Get the pace first, then the line. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-To-Read-Golf-Greens-for-Speed-and-Break/603 Thu, 06 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-To-Read-Golf-Greens-for-Speed-and-Break/603 One huge example of the difference between the golfer that makes it in tournament play and the one that doesnt is his/her pre-shot routine. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/If-You-Are-Going-to-Play-Tournament-Golf--You-Better-Get-Good-at-Pre-shot-Routine-/602 Thu, 06 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/If-You-Are-Going-to-Play-Tournament-Golf--You-Better-Get-Good-at-Pre-shot-Routine-/602 Your initial golf shot is your most important golf shot in my estimation. It's sort of like first down in football. If you're second down and twenty every time you get the ball you're going to have a long afternoon. I'm used to it, being a Dolphin fan. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/-How-To-Hit-Your-Golf-Driver-/599 Thu, 06 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/-How-To-Hit-Your-Golf-Driver-/599 Golfers can now take advantage of the same technology available to touring pros by video analysis over the internet. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Over-the-Net-Golf-Lessons-with-Video-Analysis-and-Touring-Pro-Comparisons/596 Thu, 06 Apr 2006 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Over-the-Net-Golf-Lessons-with-Video-Analysis-and-Touring-Pro-Comparisons/596 Do you want to get more distance from your drives?

If you do not keep your balance during the entire swing, it is not possible to have a good stroke. It sounds simple to keep your balance, doesn't it? Unfortunately, it is impossible to have good balance when you are so tense that you are "white knuckling" the club, your entire body is stiff, and you are trying to hit the ball too hard. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/The-Key-to-Better-Golfing/534 Fri, 24 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/The-Key-to-Better-Golfing/534 Whether you are just starting to learn golf, or you have been golfing for many years and you're just looking to refine your game, this will provide a good direction of focus for this season. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-Better-Course-Management-Can-Lower-Your-Overall-Golf-Score/497 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/How-Better-Course-Management-Can-Lower-Your-Overall-Golf-Score/497 Golfers will do anything they can in hopes to play better golf and hit the LONG ball. Am I right? Are you in this category? If so, Im quite confident to say youve taken a golf lesson or two. Golf lessons can be very effective in getting you back on track, if your swing has gone south. But, not always. http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Taking-A-Golf-Lesson-Isn-t-Always-The-Answer/460 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 00:00:00 -0600 http://www.golfarticles.net/Article/Taking-A-Golf-Lesson-Isn-t-Always-The-Answer/460 Youve come home from work dead tired.
