			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the main mistakes that some left handed golfers make is also actually one of the more obvious ones, they attempt to play right-handed.  Honestly, why they do this is not hard or difficult to understand, unless you have the money to buy a new set of clubs the very first time that you play <b >golf</b> then the chances are that you will end up borrowing some clubs just to see if you like the game and of course the clubs you borrow are very likely to be right handed.</p>
<p>Many left handed golfers do actually go on to buy their own clubs that are the correct style for them but some still carry on with the right handed clubs based on the fact that they have been playing too long with them and do not want to learn how to play <b >golf</b> all over again with left handed clubs.  Naturally, this does mean that they will not ever be quite as good a golfer as they could become with the right (in this case left handed) clubs.  When people search for left handed <b >golf</b> <b >tips</b> they have already embraced the most important tip for a left handed golfer and that is to play the game of <b >golf</b> using their natural <b >swing</b> with left handed <b >golf</b> clubs.</p>
<p>One of the best left-handed <b >golf</b> <b >tips</b> for beginners is to be careful when choosing your clubs. When you are left handed there is a much more limited choice available to you, especially if you are shopping at a small local <b >golf</b> shop or club.  But rather than taking a set of <b >golf</b> clubs that you are not happy with, you would be better off waiting for a while until you have the opportunity to travel to a larger shop with a more comprehensive selection of clubs and <b >golf</b> equipment to choose from.  The other option if you are nowhere near a <b >golf</b> equipment or sporting goods store with a good selection of clubs is to buy them by mail order.</p>
<p>There are two ways of doing this, you can either get a catalog and order your clubs that way or you could go to one of the online <b >golf</b> stores that have a good selection of equipment and everything that the left handed golfer could want or need I order to successfully play the game of <b >golf</b>.  Of course, one of the best ways for a left handed golfer to learn how to correctly play and also receive some quality left handed <b >golf</b> <b >tips</b> is by taking lessons from a left handed <b >golf</b> pro. Some right-handed pros have a tough time when trying to teach left handed players and if you can <b >swing</b> it taking lessons from another left handed golfer is a much better idea and will significantly improve your golfing skills and game.  With the right (left handed) clubs and good tuition there is every chance that your game will steadily get better and you will enjoy it even more.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Much like any other game or sport, beginner golfers look to the experts to learn the fundamentals, rules and other <b >golf</b> <b >tips</b> in order to increase the quality and enjoyment of their games. These <b >golf</b> <b >tips</b> can vary from how to prepare to play, how to effectively play throughout the game, and how to practice.</p>
<p>One particular <b >golf</b> technique teaches golfers the proper grip. This grip will reduce many beginners&#8217; tendency to slice. A good grip keeps the club head square when hitting the ball and also keeping the shaft from turning in the golfer&#8217;s hands. By holding the club in a relaxed, comfortable feel, the golfers&#8217; game success can be more assured.</p>
<p>Yet another <b >golf</b> streategy involved with preparing to tee off is concerned with setup. It is imperative that a golfer stands square &#8212; with their feet placed parallel to the target line. A closed stance will create a swing path that is inside to outside, driving a ball out of the intended path. This stance allows the athlete for more freedom for a golfer&#8217;s arms and shoulders.</p>
<p>When preparing a <b >golf</b> stance, another effective <b >golf</b> tip is involved with a swing path. An inside to square swing generally results in a straight shot because it encourages a hook from the club to the ball. The target line is an imaginary line that extends from the ball to the intended target. A golfer&#8217;s goal is an inside-outside swing path that ultimately moves slightly outside after impact.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many golfers have worked for years and years trying to perfect their swing and improve their game.  However, problems do arise.  They come about mostly because golfers tend to forget the basic mechanics of the game and start playing sloppy.</p>
<p>A Slice is a specific left-to-right trajectory shape for a golf ball created by a significant tilt of the spin-axis of the golf ball to the right, or a clockwise spin. This is opposite for lefties. A slice usually ends up right of the target line, and the term is often used when the curve in the trajectory is extreme and unintentional. The less extreme version of a slice is called a &#8220;fade&#8221;.</p>
<p>In understanding the basics of the golf swing, in order to hit the ball squarely and straight every time, you must return to the original spot at impact. A slice is caused by the club face being slightly open at the point of impact, thus causing the ball to spin in a clockwise motion, (opposite for lefties). In most cases the swing path is correct, but the golf ball is not being hit squarely at the point of impact, commonly caused by what is known as a &#8220;weak grip&#8221;. <span id="more-365"></span></p>
<p>A second factor that causes a golf slice may be swing speed and shaft stiffness. If you use a stiff shaft driver try a regular flex or mid flex shaft and that may correct your problem.</p>
<p>The simplest fix for a slice is in the grip. By having a &#8220;weak grip&#8221;, a grip that is turned more counter-clockwise, (opposite for lefties), can cause the club face to open at the time of impact. </p>
<p>You should start by turning your grip slightly to the right, (left for lefties), thus giving you a &#8220;stronger grip&#8221;, not holding the club more tightly. Remember the basics and only hold the club tight enough to keep control. You should not have any tension on your wrist and forearms. </p>
<p>You may want to try increasing your swing speed by pulling the club farther back before swinging to fix your golf slice. When you increase your swing speed you can gain yardage and will hit the fairways more often.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Again, many golfers have trouble with their putting.  I know of one experienced golfer who can consistently drive the ball 250 to 300 yards only to get on the green and three putt.  Nothing frustrates him more, but putting is an important part of your golf game – possibly THE most important part. </p>
<p>Stroking the ball is only one part of putting.  To putt effectively, you first need to know how to read a green.  That means looking at the trajectory your ball will travel and compensate for any dips, hills, or anything else that could cause your ball to move a specific way.  </p>
<p>Good green reading comes with experience. After hitting enough putts over enough different types of terrain and grass, you develop a sixth sense of how the ball will roll. As you walk onto a green, whether you realize it or not, you take in all sorts of subtle information.<span id="more-363"></span></p>
<p>If the green appears light, you know you&#8217;re putting against the grain; if it&#8217;s dark you&#8217;re down grain. If the green is set on a high area of the course and you feel a breeze as you step onto it, you sense that the putt will be fast. Even if you don&#8217;t look closely at the surrounding terrain, you are aware of any major slope in the land.</p>
<p>Without having to tell yourself, you know which the low side of the green is and which the high is. If the putting surface is hard and crusty under foot, you receive one message; if it&#8217;s soft and spongy you get another. Experience with many, many putts allows you to run this data through your computer before you even mark your ball.</p>
<p>The most elusive aspect of green reading has to do with the grain. Grain refers to the direction in which the blades of grass grow. The light/dark appearance is one way to read it. </p>
<p>Another method you can use is to take your putter blade and scrape it across a patch of fringe. If the blades of grass brush up, you&#8217;re scraping against the grain. If they mat down, you&#8217;re scraping with it. (Incidentally, be sure to do this scraping on the fringe. On the greens, it&#8217;s against Rule 35-1f.)</p>
<p>A third method is to take a look at the cup. Often, the blades of grass will grow over the edge of the cup in the direction in which the grain moves. Incidentally, grain usually grows toward water, especially toward the ocean, and in the East it&#8217;s apt to lean toward the mountains. If you&#8217;re not near any such topography, figure on the grain growing in the direction of the setting sun.</p>
