Well golfers, summer is on its way, and most weekend "golf" warriors are hitting the links. There are ways to enjoy this wonderful game, which entail golf strategies for recreation or progress. I myself have always struggled with wanting to pound out a 400 yard drive, being that I'm a big guy, but let's face it- Tiger Woods and the boys on the tour even hook or slice at times.

It all starts with timing. Good timing brings accuracy from the tee, and this is where one must begin to improve their golf swing. Shorten your back swing by stopping your shoulder turn when your arms start going back naturally. If you don't you will get in trouble at the top if you keep going. Stay parallel, and eliminate over turning by keeping your hands away from your head, as far as possible. When you keep your feet planted, you will also find that this holds your lower half and stops you from swaying.

When striking the golf ball your arms and body must move as one. Meaning the arms and chest have to move together while in your down swing. Focus on this while remembering to maintain the "triangle" formed by the chest and arms into impact. It should be the only time in your golf swing when your arms are perfectly straight and your swinging at top speed. Also be mindful not to move your hips too quick.

To generate a powerful golf swing. You need to increase club head speed and shift your weight properly. Your right foot should rise slightly off the ground while the left leg, should straighten in your down swing. The arms should straighten also as you approach impact. Next, your belly button should go past your shoulders as you start to rotate your body. DO NOT engage your hands until right before impact. Keep your head BEHIND the golf ball at impact. These are some golf tips for you to implement in your golf game if you are having problems with your golf swing.

To hit the golf ball with consistent accuracy always do your best to control your breathing. I would suggest even before you address the golf ball that you breath deeply. In and out, at least three times. This will relax you to the point of becoming centered and focused on exactly what you need to do. Execute your golf swing!
