For some golf trainers, the very 1st lesson they will teach their students is how to grip the golf club correctly. Why? Because if you don’t grip the golf club correctly, it could cause you to slice the golfball almost everytime.

Driving mats come in different sizes and are nice for practicing while you are home or even at work in your lunch break. They are made from a turf-like fabric which means you can practice and not have to worry about ruining your gear.

Regardless of which way you grip your golf club, never grip the club too tightly. This is one of the biggest causes of slicing the ball. You want to hold the club firm, but not “choke hold” it, meaning, you want a firm hold while not tensing up your hands or forearms, this makes you feel more relaxed and focused as well as giving you better control.

Another thing that may affect the way you grip your golf club is the size of the handle. When you buy a new club, you may want to go to a pro shop and get your grip measured. If you buy from a normal sports store or even from a yard sale or whatever, you are getting club handles that may be either too big or too small for you personally

When at the practice range,hit 10-20 balls each session.Then take a break so you can avoid mental and physical exhaustion.You can use this time to go over what you’ve learned.

Many amateur golfers have shaved 3 or 4 strokes off their games just by practicing 5 or 10 minutes while waiting for dinner or supper to be served. Putting is something you can easily practice at home.

Remain honest with yourself and take notes when you play golf. Where do you always have problems? Get more practice in these problem spots. If you are not able to solve the problems yourself, then pay your local pro to help you.

You may find that you have trouble using the Vardon grip, you might want to try the baseball grip, also called the ten finger grip. You basically hold the club just like you would a baseball bat, both hands side by side. Usually, this is the easiest way to grip a golf club, and if you have joint pain or small and weak hands or even arthritis, this is more than likely the best grip for you.
