These are the best golf tips for beginners

Golf is a sport that can be practised by people of all ages, regardless of their state of health, as it is a low-impact activity, so anyone who wants to take up the sport can do so without any problem.

It is a sport that requires concentration and technique, beyond competitiveness, so if you are getting into this world and want to improve quickly, here are some tips for beginners that we are sure will help you on your first visits to the course.

Golf is a sport

Despite being a leisurely activity, golf is a sport and should be treated as such. So make sure you arrive at the course a little early to warm up and do your necessary stretches before you start as you will be using different muscle groups, which could get injured.

Don't push yourself

It is logical that in your first visits to the golf clubs your shots are not perfect or that your card shows more strokes than those who have been playing for longer. Don't let anything pressure you and take your time to hit your shots.


Watch your stance

A good stance is a sign of a good swing, so to start playing it is essential to assume the correct position.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend slightly at the hips, keeping your back straight. Allow your arms to hang down, and don't allow your chin to touch your chest.

Allow your right side to be underneath your left or vice versa if you are left-handed. Keep your weight balanced between both legs and slightly to the front of both feet by bending your knees slightly.

Correct Grip

The golf club should be gripped more with the fingers than with the palm of the hand. Gripping the club with the palm may make you feel more secure, but what you are really causing is more tension, significantly reducing wrist mobility.

Familiarise yourself with the language

Golf has a very particular and extensive vocabulary, so if you've decided to play golf regularly, it's best to start familiarising yourself with it.
When you do, you'll understand the sport better and you'll pass for an expert.

Take private lessons

Learning to play golf alone or with friends is difficult, so the best way to get started in this sport is to take lessons with a professional teacher, so that with his experience he can point out all the mistakes you make and help you to solve them.

Ideally, if possible, at least for a few months you should attend private lessons, with which you will surely see significant improvements in your technique.

Watch the pros

We recommend that you keep an eye on the PGA Tour pros and watch them closely as you can learn a lot from them. As well as getting to know their technique, listen carefully to the comments of the experts, who will even teach you a bit of history.
