1. Practice Putting drills
Do not let the fashionable golf carts or golf clubs fool you. Expensive equipment will not help you if you do not have the basics. Golf like any other game needs practice, especially your putting.
Line up facing a full length mirror, with your club close to the bottom of the mirror. Watching in the mirror, make sure that your trunk is not moving as you make a stroke, and you are maintaining the V of your arms. Then make sure your club is moving in a straight line along edge of the mirror.
Got to a putting green, and keep practicing till you can get 8 out of ten balls in the hole from six feet away.
Using some string, make a circle of about 3 feet in diameter on a practice putting green. Then from 20 feet away, putt 10 balls and try to get 8 or more in the circle.
2. Chipping and pitching
Keep practicing chipping and pitching. Do not just practice only driving when you go to the golf range. You should also practice your pitching and chipping. Practice these two golf game techniques, as they can help you get out of a lot of trouble when you actually play on a course.
3. Exercise daily
Golf requires you to exercise daily. Whenever you visit the practice range you must start with stretching exercises. Maintain your physique so as to swing the ball precisely and hit it a fairway.
4. Swinging
Before swinging with the golf club, ensure you are using a proper grip. A good grip helps the club head to come to the right position when you hit the ball. As a beginner you could start with the baseball grip, where all your finger grip the golf club. Make sure you set up position is correct, if you can get this right, then it is much easier to swing correctly.
As a beginner it is necessary for you to practice these drills like putting, chipping and pitching on a daily basis. It is better to practice for ten minutes a day than 70 minutes once a week. Practicing these drills on a daily basis will help you to improve steadily.
