Golf Instruction

Bad or difficult weather can make any shot more difficult. When the wind is blowing, it is important to keep your feet closer together. It is natural to think that you just need to hit the ball harder, but the wind makes it even more important to hit the ball correctly.

If the wind is coming at you, you want your shots to be lower. Of course, if it’s behind you and you need a long shot, put it up in the air and let the wind carry it.

Cross winds will present the most difficult situation. The way you hit the ball will depend a great deal on whether you normally hit a straight shot, a hook or a slice. You need to try to use the wind to your advantage and hit your shot more to the right or the left, depending on your shots tendency.

Then you hope you don’t hit a hook when you are playing the wind for a slice. That’s why golf is a fun sport.

Listen, Tiger Woods never stops learning. Why would the average golfer? You know the saying “It’s insanity to continue to do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.”

If you look around this site, you will find a lot of golf instruction, some free, some you need to buy. If you’re serious about improving your game, at least leave yourself open to trying new techniques. Many golfers swear by some of these products and, I can tell you, you won’t find anything here I haven’t tried and use myself.

You might also consider paying for a few sessions with a golf pro. They can look at your swing and tell you what you might be doing wrong and make suggestions as to how you can fix it. Invaluable.

Golf is a lot more enjoyable when you play it well. I guarantee it!
