Learning To Play Golf - Working On Your Swings

By Candace C. Satter


If you are intending to take up golf, then you have two ways of going about learning how to play the game. Like most people you can opt for a training course or engage a professional trainer for a fee or you can also learn the game on your own. There are many who are adventurous enough to read up and understand the rules of the game and start of practicing on their own. They are quick to observe and learn from others and pick up the game by trial and error method.

But then some kind of lessons and theoretical understanding of the game is necessary for it is quite a tough game to master.

If you observe the other players moves very critically you will understand a lot about swings. You will understand as to why they practice their swing several times before taking a shot. You will also observe the way their swing and the movements involved thereof. There is the twisting of the body and secondly the swinging of the arms in co-ordination.

For an effective swing the body has to turn properly. The body turn should be at a near to horizontal plane and should be at right angles to the spine and parallel to the line of the shoulders.

Arms Swinging involves swinging as nearly as possible with force aimed at the ball. The arms are free to swing when the body turns to make swinging of arms possible. The shoulders remain

While you might think that it is quite easy to master the swing while watching others either on TV or on the ground, you will be surprised when it comes to practice that it takes a while to get the entire coordination in place. There are in fact two other aspects of swing that one needs to concentrate upon which is to do with the backswing as well as the downswing.

The swing has two distinctive parts to the entire technique. The first part involves a backswing where in the player lifts the club back and upwards to the right side of his body if he is a right handed golfer and pickups the required distance and speed. The second part is to swing it down and hit the ball in the required direction with the right amount of force.

Once again the turning of the upper part of the body is important to achieve a perfect swinging action. A swinging action is carried out in a circular motion which is made possible by turning the body in fluid movement.
