You have probably tried everything, from following advice that worked for your friends to so called tips from experts. So what else can you really do to improve your golf swing?
Actually there is plenty you can do, as long as you are prepared to change your mindset.
Most beginners have one thing in mind, and that is to hit the ball as far as possible. Many golfers never quite get out of this mindset and this is one of the reasons why they will never get the distance that they are capable of hitting the ball. The wise golfer will practice for accuracy first and concentrate on the distance once they have mastered the art of control. It’s not much point hitting the big yards off the tee if the ball is going to end up on another fairway or in the rough.
All you will succeed in doing is make the following shots all the more difficult. A drive down the center of the fairway, albeit a few meters shorter, will set you up for a better approach shot and a lower round score.
