Step 1
Grip your golf club in one of three ways. The overlapping grip calls for the pinkie finger of one hand to overlap the index finger of the other hand. The interlocking grip requires the pinkie and index fingers to interlock, and the baseball grip has the fingers meeting each other.
-
Step 2
Keep your fingers relaxed when gripping your golf club. Any tension in your hands will transfer to the rest of your body and negatively affect your golf swing.
-
Step 3
Maintain a good sense of balance and an even rhythm when swinging your golf club. Rushing your swing will cause you to lose your balance and result in unpredictable contact with the ball and reduced ball flight.
-
Step 4
Visit driving ranges where you can practice your swing. Focus on completing your swing in such a way that your body is facing your target when you follow through. Your hands should end high up and behind your head.
-
Step 5
Complete your follow through and transfer of weight by having your right foot up and able to tap the ground.
-
Step 6
Focus on swinging through the "hitting" area and finishing your swing. Your shots will improve considerably as a result.
-
Step 7
Strive to have a slower speed with your back swing than your forward swing.
-
Step 8
Take free online golf swing courses or purchase instructional videos or DVDs available at websites, such as Bigger Drives or Peace River Drives (see link in Resources).
