When you first started to play golf, if you were like most people, you maybe stepped up to the first tee without anygolf instruction and 'had a go'. The result was almost certainly not very rewarding. Despite this, you did enjoy the experience, and so you kept playing hoping things would improve. When they didn't, you probablyregistered for a lesson with the local professional to get some golf instruction. That was also when you discovered how much they cost! But there is a problem here. Did you know that your muscles have a memory? Just think how automatically you do simple daily things like applying lipstick. The very first time you did that thing, you had to really concentrate, but as you repeated the action, it gradually became automatic. Eventually your mind could be wandering whilst the memory in your muscles achieved the objective. So where is the dilemma? Well, when you first played with no formal golf instruction, you learned bad habits that are now burnt into your muscle memory, and even if you have had some proper golf instruction, those memories are still there. Your next task now is to get rid of them and get your muscles to learn proper techniques. Now to add to your problem, some of your golfing buddies may have given you tips as golf instruction. The reason that hasn't helped you is that they may have a terrible swing themselves, so they are really teaching you bad habits. Be warned, they may appear to have a good swing because they can hit the ball long and straight, but the real story is they may have one or more major problems in their swing that they have learned over time to compensate for. Let's go back to essentials. To improve your swing, you must figure out what your faults are. Your stance, your posture, how much weight is on each foot, where the ball lies in relation to your feet, your wrist angle and grip are all absolutely vital, so carefully check that all these are right. The other prominent factor is your mental attitude, are you determined to win? Your golf swing is a major subject and a full explanation is clearly beyond the capability of this article. For more guidance on this, get a well written book on golf instruction and read it carefully. In the mean time this article has given you some thoughts to think about that will lead you to a better perception of your golf swing and how you got the deficiencies in your swing. When your swing is good, the joy with each nice hit will lead to more satisfaction in the game.
