Things You'll Need:
- driving range
-
Step 1
The first step is getting used to the swing and weight or feel of a golf club. The shortest club being the wedge and the longest being the 1 Iron, the idea is to start going to the driving range and focus on just hitting the light, short weight irons. Understand the motion and the club design to get a complete feel for why the swing is that important. The wedge for instance is cut at approximately 50 degree angle, or whatever it is, just take a look at it. It is going to go higher than distance-wise. Practice your swing so that you gain confidence in lofting one or two balls - feet are parallel, grip the club left over right, keep everything straight, take two practice swings.. loft it
-
Step 2
Practice the swing without the ball. Swing to keep your head down, the swing parallel to the direction you are swinging and picture the loft up and over half way to the hole and dropping the same distance 25 yards. If your elbow and wrists are locked you can start with a slow motion swing and recall hey flex that wrist such that as you pull back and twist your hips shoulders turn and boom your parallel cocked and let the swing happen, don't kill it. Follow through and remember its the contact you focus on not the drive-
-
Step 3
Start practicing those swings with the ball and a longer stick; pull out the 8 iron; practice for an hour at a time; at first you may hit 30% of your balls but once you remember hitting more consistently it'll be forethought. Practice without the ball again just swing for five or ten times, practice with the club head at a forty five degree angle in front of you and flex your wrists left to write to get comfortable with the weight atop you not behind you; then your swings will start feeling better!
