Golf Tips for Beginners

Magnetic Ion Technology If you have been following along with my posts you may have noticed my interest in magnetic ion bracelets. My wife bought me a golf glove with negative ion technology built into it and I have been wearing it when I play golf or when I am practicing, but I don't think I have had it on long enough to know if it is working yet. So I decided to buy a bracelet that had positive magnets in it. That way I could wear it all the time to see if I can feel any difference with it. Magnetic Golf Bracelet I was in Orlando and my wife and I we're shopping around at a flea market and I came across a booth that was selling magnetic and copper bracelets. The magnetic bracelets had a sign near them that claimed that they are good for athletes, such as golfers. The price was only $25 and the magnets seemed to be pretty strong, so I bought it. I like the look of it, it is silver and very well built. I figured that if the magnetic ion therapy ended up being useless at leas...

Practice, Practice, Practice If you have the proper fundamentals and, in some cases, the proper training, you will make huge improvements if you practice what you are taught. But what if you are a beginner when it comes to the game of golf, or what if you are just a recreational or weekend golfer? What if you don't have a lot of time to practice? What should you focus on? Those can be difficult questions to answer because each person is different and unique. But in my opinion, you should focus on having a golf swing that is dependable and repeatable. How do you that? Improve Your Score With Lessons I have seen a lot of self taught athletes in almost every sport. Some people are just athletic and natural when it comes to sports and they can thrive on their own. However, the majority of us are not as lucky. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just stating the facts. This is especially true when it comes to the golf swing for example. You can practice your swing all you want, but y...

Improve Your Golf Score I have been working on improving my golf game by finding out the average distances that people hit their golf clubs. For my experiment I have been using my yardage distances as well as my sons and my fathers. Improve Golf Score by Knowing Club Yardages We are definitely looking for ways to improve our golf scores and by knowing the distance we hit each club can help us to do that. It also will help us to find the perfect wood, hybrid, iron, and wedge combination that will allow us to have the perfect distance between each club. By the time we are done finding our average distances, we will be able to put the yardages into a chart that we can post and use to our benefit. I will post the chart on my other site as well as this site. The easiest way to make improvements when it comes to our golf score is by having the right golf clubs in our bags for our game and to know how far we hit each club. If we don't know how far we hit a particular club, then how ca...

Release Your Inner Diablo One definition of Diablo is: devil. Callaway has created a driver that is supposed to cause you to release the inner devil in us. Well, what makes this driver so special? From what I have read it is a 3-piece, all titanium headed driver. It utilizes either a 10-gram internal weight that allows for a neutral clubface at impact, or a 15-gram weight that promotes a draw. The shape of the head is really the talk of this golf driver. It has been shaped to direct the center of gravity to either a neutral or a draw position. Golfers Reaction to the Diablo I have not hit this driver yet, but I have seen it and it is impressive looking. One person who had a chance to hit it said that his ball flight was lower but easily gained 6 yards on his drives. It created impressive ball speed and distance. This may turn out to be a good driver for beginners and mid to high handicappers because it can help curtail, eliminate, or reduce your slice. To me, that is a good thing. Big ...

Magnet Therapy In an earlier post I talked about Magnetic ion bracelets. I mentioned that they are primarily configured to help you therapeutically and one way is by calming your nerves. For example, because golf can be a nerve-racking environment it can make you feel uptight. How many of us have stood on the first tee in front our golfing buddies and possible others, and felt absolutely nervous about hitting our first tee shot of the day? I have jitters every time I play. So I've been hoping that a bracelet with magnetic ion capabilities could help calm my nerves down. I still haven't bought a bracelet yet, but I am seriously thinking about getting one made by Sabona, Trion:Z, or Q-ray, or some other similar company. It's claimed by these companies that you can also have improved cellular regeneration, and you can revitalize your body from the stresses of normal life with a magnetic ion bracelet. I am seriously considering one that promotes negative ions. This is suppose...

Golf Swing Speed When golfers talk about swing speed they often are talking about ways to improve their speed. If you increase the speed of your golf swing you will, in effect, increase your golf driving distance. And if you're like me, there is nothing wrong with getting a little more distance. So is there any simple golf tips for beginners that will help them to increase their golf swing speed? Swing Speed Stretch Unfortunately, there is no simple tip or drill that can do this. In order to amp up your swing speed you need to work at it. It just doesn't come automatically. A tip that I can pass on involves stretching. You will find on the internet all kinds of links that will take you to sites that shows golfers different stretches to do. One stretch that I attempt to do every day is easy to do. I didn't notice any change in my golf swing speed until a few weeks later, so don't expect immediate results with trying this stretch. This actually is more like an exercise th...

Should you buy golf shoes that have a water proof warranty? How far does the average golfer hit their golf clubs? Questions like these, and others like them, are very important for beginners to the game of golf to ask. If you are new to the game do you have any questions that you have searched the internet for?
