Improve golf in the winter
Winter is coming, are you considering to suspend your golf game? In fact, there is no better time than the off season to try and tune up your golf game. Even though your time on the course may be limited by the weather; there are a number of things you can do to insure that when you get on the course it will be a more pleasurable experience.
The first thing you should do is assess the state of your game. What areas need work and what golf equipment needs to be repaired or replaced. Are your grips too worn? Is it time to replace the spikes in your golf shoes or buy a new pair? Is your golf bag too heavy? The best sales on golf bags and clubs come during the off season.
Now that you have some time to work on your game you may want to pick up a few new golf books that promise to help you lower your score. Zen Golf – Mastering the Mental Game written by Dr. Joseph Parent is all about learning how to enjoy the game of golf. The sports psychologist offers tips on how to stay calm during your round and eliminate bad habits and mental mistakes.
Hank Haneys Essentials of the Swing is another excellent resource for the golfer looking to improve. The book from the coach of several PGA stars offers a 7 step process for building a better swing and shaping your shots. Instead of just trying to fix your hook or cure your slice; Haney takes the swing apart and rebuilds it from scratch.
If the short game is your problem another new book offers tour tested tips to get up and down. The Art of the Short Game is written by Stan Utley shows you how to execute a number of different types of shots around the green. Utley is a PGA professional who writes for Golf Digest.
If you have not read Tiger Woods, How I Play Simcountry Golf it should be required for all golfers who want to get better.
