Introduction
Golf is an amazing game and beginner golfers
choose this game for ample reasons like spending
quality time with friends and family, having fun
in the outdoors and much more. This sport can be
played for the entire life. No matter what is the
reason everyone needs to start somewhere and this
golfing guide can work as a solid foundation for
the beginners.

To get a solid start here are some tips
4
Practice

• Golf is not a sport which can be learned by
  reading the books or playing the video. You have
  to know the techniques and apply them each time.
  You definitely need someone who can guide you
  about the game. If you have a coach or mentor
  then it is much better.

The grip

• To hit the ball perfectly you should have a
  strong and proper grip. There are several
  variations when it comes to making a grip like,
  interlocking, overlapping, etc. You must
  determine which the best for your swing is. The
  pressure of the grip is equally important. The
  pressure should not be too much or too less, it
  should be like squeezing some cream from a tube
  so it can come on the top. It will take some time
  to get a perfect grip.

6
Posture

• Have you ever seen a basketball player guarding
  an opponent. Similarly, your posture should be
  like that. The knees should be bent slightly and
  torso must be slightly forward. Then bend at the
  hips keeping your back straight. Your arms should
  hang naturally. When it comes to set up your
  hips, knees and shoulders must be parallel to the
  ball line and your feet should be shoulder width
  apart. Your shoulder should be tilted slightly
  and your back shoulder should be lower than your
  front shoulder.

7
Things to focus on

• When your swing and posture feels comfortable you
  need to focus on some points. Before you take a
  shot practice a swing. The practice swing should
  replicate exactly how you want to hit the
  upcoming chip shot. Now you must aim to brush the
  grass. As you make a chip shot brush the grass
  under the golf ball. As you do this the golf ball
  will rise in the air and then move forward. Dont
  try to help the ball up in the air as this is an
  incorrect thing to do. It leads to miss hits. You
  should aim to strike slightly lower on the golf
  ball. Keep the club head lower on the ground.
  Just allow the loft on the golf club to help the
  ball rise in the air.

Driver

• There is so much additional equipment and various
  clubs that choosing a driver becomes difficult.
  Driver shafts are made in three varieties where
  steel is the most common one. It is heavy and
  leads to cover shorter distances. It is one of
  the best driver for beginners as it is resistant
  and effortless to maintain. You can also select a
  shaft made of graphite because it will make the
  ball fly as it is lightweight. However, it is not
  as the steel. Steel is the most forgiving driver
  that can help you enhance your skills further.

9
Practice pitch shots

• Short game skills are said to be imperative when
  it comes to scoring. When you begin with pitch
  shots begin with sweeping your club head back
  with your arms and then rotate your hips back to
  20 degrees. Hinge your main wrist up when you do
  a backswing. You can turn your shoulders halfway
  back because the front shoulder should be
  pointing towards the ball. Let the arms and hands
  begin with club down rotating your hips.
