Discover how to golf with the basics
Let’s discover together how to golf the basics. To start with how to golf the basics when others are golfing is one of the hardest things most new comers have. They will stand on/or near the tee box and practice their golf swing while their playing partners are trying to address or go with their golf swing.
Do you know how disruptive that is to hear another club whoosing through the air with what seems to be inches from your head? The natural instinct is to duck but they also realize there is a newbie on the tee so they don’t duck unless someone tells them to duck. They are prepared to duck so they are concentrating on the word duck not the process of swinging and hitting that little white pebble in front of them.
So they will not hit a very good shot and you will look up and say, I remember him saying that he played better than that. Well, you write it off to that golfer is a liar and then wait for the next moment for you to tee off and you think well I got time to practice some more so I will continue to practice my golf swing.
While I think about it, I have told you about the benefits of going through this blog for more info. Here is a great example, I have this article plus 9 videos that show you how to golf with various aspects of the game on this page alone. No where else could that be true. So finish reading this article and then view the videos.
How to golf with other issues
Here are a couple more things that you will do while learning how to golf. You stand close to the golf right to his right at the back of the tee box about six feet away.What you don’t realize is that you are in the golfers periferal vision. That golfers thinks you are too close and may hit you so it disrupts his/her concentration. Or you may move around and that golfer can see you and he cannot think of anything else but you.
Or maybe you are nervous and begin talking to your friend that is standing next to you. That is disruptive to all sports participants in every sport. You have to stand still, do not practice your swing while others are getting ready to hit the ball or move around or stand to close or talk while a player is trying to prepare themselves to hit the golf ball.
While a golfer is on the tee and has his/her ball teed up then it is their time not yours.You are to leave them alone is shut up and not move around and stand still about 10 to 15 feet away. That is the most basic rule you can follow when you are golfing whether on the tee box or out on the course or on the green. Oh and one other rule in how to golf is there is no horse play on the golf course as it disrupts the entire golf course watching you goofing off.
How to golf with the basics
The start is the how to golf grip. For the right handed golf. Just reverse for the lefty. You can use a glove or not it is up to you. For newbies it may be better as you will have a tendency to hold the club too tight. But you grip is this, open the palm of your left hand. Take the club and place the golf club grip on the diagonal across your palm from the first crease on you left index finger to the first crease on your palm kind of on a diagonal.
Close your fingers on the grip and place your thumb at the one o’clock position. Your grip pressure should be a 2.5 on a scale of one to 10 with one being the neck of a beer bottle or a plastic glass and 10 being the neck of your mother-in-law.
Now comes the right hand. There is talk about the three grips. One is the baseball grip where all ten fingers are on the golf club grip. The other is the over lap where the baby finger on your right hand is nestled between the index and second finger on your left hand. The third is the interlock. This is where you slide your baby finger on the right hand under the index finger and in between the index and second finger on your left hand. I don’t use the interlock as it hurts. I use the overlap little finger as it just feels more comfortable in the realm of how to golf using the proper grip and I don’t use a golf glove unless it is raining, then I need the grip.
How to golf your finger positions
This is how to golf with your thumb. It should go on the golf club grip at the eleven o’clock position. By doing that you now have a neutral grip. The thumbs are at 11 and one. Your grip with the left hand is about 2.5 and the grip with your right hand is 1 or less. The right hand is only for guidance. You will use your right hand to guide the club while going forward on the forward swing when using the how to golf method.
How to golf with this little know secret
Now this is a little how to golf secret that no one tells you. So when people ask tell them you heard it here first. Even the people at about.com will not have this secret. If the golf club grip has been installed properly there will be a mark at the bottom of the grip that will show you where to place your thumb so that the club face is square to the ball.
Now remember you have your thumbs at 1 and 11 o’clock so just momentarily, place one thumb at 12 o’clock and line up the grip with that mark. There may be only one mark or a series of marks but you are to use the one that puts the club face square to the ball. Then when it is aligned, place your thumb back where it belongs. I usually use my left thumb to do this as my right hand is too loose.
This is using your hands on the golf grip to learn how to golf. This is just the beginning but I need to end it as it is taking too long. I will continue this article on the next post. So look for how to golf part 2.
By the way, if you are new to this blog, I have over 1,100 posts on golf ball, golf equipment and golf tips. Most are videos but some are articles. But most are quite good and you will spend months here looking at all of the info. So book mark this blog and come back often. I made this blog for informational purposes about how to golf.
