Proper Golf Swing Basics for New Golfers
Article by Sean O’Kelly
When addressing proper golf swing basics for the new golfer, the thought is to keep things uncomplicated and never try to emulate Tiger Woods or any of the pros. Their golf swing basics are so far superior to ours that it would only cause more frustration than this remarkable game of golf already has. What I would like to recommend to the new golfer is to get quite simple in their golf swing basics, and once that’s in place build from that basis.
1. Work relating to the short game first. I assume since we start a hole from the tee, people learning the game believe that’s where their training should start. I believe proper golf swing basics start with the chip shot, then moving up, ending with the driver. The object of any swing is what happens at ball contact, and the remainder of the swing is only in support of ball contact. The closer you get to the hole, the greater number of times you will use a particular golf club. Then doesn’t it stand to reason the more time you utilize a specific club throughout a round of golf, the longer you should put into working with it? It is normal for the new golfer to walk onto the driving range, pull out the driver, and strike half a bucket of golf balls with it. But how many times would you hit a driver through a round of golf? Fourteen at most, and some of those swings with the driver another club would have been the better choice.
