Golf Tips – Free Online Golf Tips & Lessons

I decided to start this series of free online golf tips and instructions with the lessons and methods my grandfather taught me. My grandfather was a professional golfer for almost 50 years and competed in many tournaments. Highlights of his career include qualifying for two US Open and being invited to play at the British Open. Although my grandfather was an accomplished golfer, he felt most rewarded when he taught others how to play and enjoy the game. Although golf instruction has come a long way since my grandfather’s day, these golf lessons still include very important fundamentals to learn and remember. Sometimes the best golf lessons come in the simplest form and are made easier to understand and execute. The following instructions are taken from my grandfather’s notes titled “Improve Your Golf”, and I am very happy to share them with anyone who wants to learn how to play golf or revisit the basics of the game.

Improve Your Golf – Introduction

Golf is a sport that is played throughout life. It is played in the field and is sometimes called a “cow grazing pond”, but what other game can you do outdoors and in the sun enjoying the beauty of nature?

Golf is fun, competitive and highlights the character of the human being. Anyone can learn to play golf with a little patience and practice.

Golfers have more excuses than Carters liver pills for not playing, so here’s the easiest and simplest formula for good golf and lower scores.

The basics of the golf swing, i.e. grip, posture, ball position, distance you stand from the ball in the direction, setting on the ball, swing (back and forth below) and follow-up are the most important to understand and develop if you want a sound game and shoot a good game.

Improve your golf: grip

There are three grips; Vardon superimposed, interlaced and finger grip.

Vardon’s Overlay Grip is:

The left hand is the same for any grip, that is, with the heel of the left hand being above the grip on the axis with firm pressure on the little finger. This will help keep your left arm steady. The right hand is lightly grasped with the stick resting on the fingers and the thumb favoring the left side with a “V” between the thumb and forefinger pointing towards the right ear. Both hands should work as one that has more pressure and control with the left hand. A little back and forth swing of the club will help develop pre-swing feel.

The interlocking grip:

This is the same as the overlap grip, except that it interlocks the little finger of the right hand with the index finger of the left hand. This grip is good for short fingers.

The finger grip:

It is done with all fingers wrapped around the grip with no overlap or interlocking. This grip is not recommended unless you have trouble with Vardon and interlocking grips.

Note: Gripping and swinging can always be practiced at home and this will help you get an idea of ​​how to grip the club correctly.
