Golf Impact Training

I believe the all time best golf training aid is the small modern digital still camera.

I’m referring to the type that not only takes pictures but also takes video clips (most of them do). I honestly believe that a small digital camera that takes video clips will help you more than any other golf training aid out there.

I use a Canon SD800 camera now and it’s a joy to use. It’s about the size of a cell phone so I can easily clip it to my belt or put it in my pocket. There are a number of other brands that make nice little cameras beside Canon (Sony, Casio, Olympus, etc.)

Many people buy their golf balls based on price alone. If your game is not up to par (no pun intended), and you think those water holes are looking a little ominous, you are moste likely to buy a box of cheaper balls knowing that the pain won’t be as great if you lose a few.

Keep in mind, though, if you are looking for peak performance, then your choice of golf ball is crucial. Golf ball selection can be as important to the success of your game as the clubs you will be carrying around the course.

Your golf balls need to be matched to your swing and your style of play.

We can’t blame the golf club manufacturers for targeting their most profitable market of right-handed golfers, but it is quite difficult for golfers who play left handed to find the selection offered to the mainstream players.

I actually throw right handed but bat left handed. However, when I was young and first took up golf, I did so right handed as I used my dad’s golf clubs. I’ve often wondered if I had just golfed lefty if I might have had even better results.

I see many golfers practicing the same shots over and over again.
That’s Ok if it is an area that needs concentrated attention, and the more you practice a shot the better you will become at it.
If you practice a shot enough you will virtually do it on autopilot when you get to the course, but you must also remember that variety will make you a better all round golfer.

Most beginners have one thing in mind, and that is to hit the ball as far as possible.
Many golfers never quite get out of this mindset and this is one of the reasons why they will never get the distance that they are capable of hitting the ball.

The wise golfer will practice for accuracy first and concentrate on the distance once they have mastered the art of control.

Here’s a simple technique to improve your putting.

Before you can expect to putt well on greens with a slope, you need to learn to putt well on the flat. This will train you to swing your putter through a straight line and hit the ball squarely on the face of the putter.

Now you need to get a putter that has a line on it that you can see clearly, as this will be the line that you will follow through to the center of the ball.

How often have you been frustratingly close to sinking a putt only to come up short?

Or maybe you have only just missed the hole to see your ball go sailing past adding too much distance for the return putt.

A lot of games have been lost on the putting green and in most instances it has been due to the wrong distance, rather than the direction of the ball.

Most beginners quickly get a feel for the direction the ball will travel, even on sloping greens.
You’ve probably seen it yourself when a newcomer to the game places the ball within inches of the hole on a sloping green time and time again.

Golf is all about balance. You need to get the right balance on your feet, in the movement of your body, in the swing of the clubs and so on.

Balance goes further than just the body however. You need a balanced approach to the game with your mind in sync with your body.

You need to only consider the one stroke that you are playing and not let other holes impact on your balance.
