- Immediately start to hit the ball further.
- Make slices, hooks and pulls a thing of the past.
- Dramatically improve your accuracy.
- Increase your confidence in your golf swing.
- Enjoy your game more.
- And especially don't forget the part about making your slice a thing of the past. This is my most frustrating aspect of my game. Now I have it under control.

Golf Swing Tip
Do not under estimate the power of this golf tip. To make sure that your right elbow is in the correct position at the top of your backswing, imagine that you are carrying a tray with a drink on it. Your top of backswing position and the "waiters" arm position should be exactly the same.
This sets your right elbow in the correct position and also makes sure that the golf club is swinging on the right swing plane with the proper clubface angle.
This is one of those golf swing tips that you can take on the course with you and have a constant check for your backswing position.
In my travels across the Internet I came across a website that has a unique golf swing test. This golf swing test was created to see if us golfers have a single swing fault that is stopping us from hitting the ball further, straighter and more consistently.
Apparently if you have this one swing fault it could be costing us up to 50 yards in distance.

Golf Grip Advice For Longer, Straighter And More Consistent Golf Shots
First of all, get a semi permanent felt tip pin and draw circles about 1 cm above your top hand's knuckles. So for a right handed golfer you would do this on your left hand. For a left handed golfer you would do this on your right hand.
Now simply practice taking your grip and see what your grip feels like when you can see 1 knuckle, then 2 knuckles, then 3 knuckles on your top hand. Also do this exercise with your feet together. By doing this you'll always have a reference position that you can easily repeat.

Test Your Skills With a Virtual Golf Game
Video games have advanced a lot and virtual golfing is no exception. The newest technology in video gaming is available in the most remote corners of cyber space and video streaming. The good news is that this technology is available to you regardless of skill level or budget. Whether you are skilled at real time golf on the green or simply a golf novice, cyber golf is clean fun for anyone.
One ting force in golf video games is Tiger Woods PGA Tour Series. In previous years, there were other games mentioned more often as well as a wider scope of golf video games. But, just as Tiger Woods has done in the world of golf, his video tour series has become a top player in the virtual golf age.

Golf Swing Sequencing - The Secret For Effortless Distance
When you start your backswing you should do so with the big muscles e.g. your back and shoulders. You should not start your backswing with your hands e.g. picking the club up.
Now as you're starting the backswing by turning your shoulders and back you also need to shift your weight to your right foot. You need to continue to shift your weight to your right foot as you're turning your shoulders and back on the backswing. And keep doing this so that at the top of your backswing position you have about 85 - 90% of your weight on your right foot.

Why, Oh Why, Is The Golf Swing SO Hard?
Now as adults we learn differently. We have already formed opinions about how the world is and how things operate. So when we learn something new we actually test it against the rules that we have already built up in our heads as to what is right and wrong.

How To Feel The Golf Clubhead As You're Swinging
Well, I don't want to say for certain but if you have trouble feeling the clubhead as you're swinging here's a simple golf drill that will help give you the feeling of the clubhead as you're swinging. This can only help you to hit the golf ball better.
To do this golf drill simply setup to a golf ball and grip the golf club as you normally would. BUT move your grip up the club so that you have the last two fingers of your top hand off the end of the golf grip. Once you have done this then I want you to swing with this "new" golf grip.
By doing this it will force you to place a lot less emphasis on your hands and arms as your big muscles will be forced to control the golf swing. You'll also get great feedback when doing this golf drill if you swing too fast because if you do you'll lose all control of the golf club through the ball.
