Golf Tips

Two months of social distancing may have affected the psychology and playing skills of golfers to some extent. The tips below will help golfers regain their original form.

Don't try to hit the ball straight.

After a long time of not being on the course and having little practice, hitting the ball straight will be very difficult. Control your draws and fades well to form a reasonable playing style and strategy, and have more options on the golf course. This happens even with professional golfers, who will flexibly hit the ball depending on their position on the course. Therefore, to regain confidence, golfers should not ignore this.

Aim at the center of the green.

In the center of the green, golfers will have many opportunities to putt the ball into the hole with just two consecutive shots, or worse, if they cannot score on the first putt, the ball will still be pushed to a favorable position to be able to achieve a standard par score. Aim at the center of the green to minimize mistakes when trying to hit the ball close to the flag but on the edge of the green. This position is very difficult without regular practice and on the course.

Swing slower

Swing slower and let the ball hit the center of the clubface. This will make the ball contact better with the club, the shot will stabilize accordingly and gradually make the mind confident. and should also replace the usual iron with another club if our swing lacks stability.

Avoid hitting the ball too high

Save the most clubs by hitting the ball with a low trajectory. This will help golfers achieve maximum scores and regain confidence, rather than risking chipping shots to the green when their shots are lacking consistency.

Keep your emotions stable

Staying calm, focused and relaxed while waiting for your turn is a way to keep your emotions stable. This will help a lot when your mood is affected by bad shots after a long time away from the course. Remember the perfect shots and gradually regain your form for better fun.

Record the necessary parameters of perfect swings

During practice, if the golfer feels that a swing he makes brings good results in a specific situation, he should record the necessary parameters and details. This habit will help a lot when the player encounters difficulties, can refer to and gradually get the feeling of the swing. It also supports golfers in rounds when they are not in a good mood when facing challenges, a notebook recording good swings will help the player stabilize their mind and limit mistakes.

Choose the safe option

When it has been too long since they picked up a club, even if they are in good form, they should choose the safe option. If the golfer can only achieve a maximum score of bogey, then continue to do so, and should not try to risk par. If mistakes are made at this time, the golfer's mentality will be dragged down, leading to many bad results.
