As they say, golf is not the type of sport you master, but a type of adventure which you have to go through. Thus, it will bring you to your highest highs and your lowest lows. Today might be the best day or maybe tomorrow. Who knows? In golf, you simply cannot tell everything.
So for any golf beginner players feeling frustration, it is easy to wonder when your swing will turn around, or when your game will improve. Some of you have yet to hit the ball in the air, never mind trying to keep par. So what is the secret to winning golf?
Given this, for new players with the feeling of frustration, it is easy to speculate when your swing will turn around, or when your game will be improving. With all these mysteries behind success in golf, what is really the key towards success?
The Secret: Constant Practice of Short Game and Consistency
Golfers who been playing this game for quite some time have already accepted golf as it is- a journey. You are left with no other choice but to just enjoy the ride. Avoid making things more complicated. You will just be amazed each and every day that you go to the course and have the game played.
Try to take away from your mind the latest golf trick you’ve heard from a friend or have read in a magazine and make them come to life on the course. More often than not, the lessons which will significantly create an impact to you are those that are learned the hard way- through constant practice.
A famous businees saying states “repetition leads to success”. This does not hold true for business alone. It is real when it comes to things you do in life, especially when golf is being talked about. Golfers who remain consistent in their golf game usually end up successful. There is nothing worse than trying to swing a club and have no idea of where it is going to end up.
Short game is indeed a very complicated world. Precision is everything and technique will lead you to where you should probably be. The good thing is that with short games, you can observe major improvements right away.
What are the Most Excellent Ways to Approach a Short Game?
Luckily, there are endless arrays of tips, lessons, and many other which are related to golf in which anyone can easily get access to, which will eventually result to fast improvement on the course.
To sum up everything in a nutshell;
1.) Study the various types of short game shots. Playing the game from the point of view of a genuine athlete means that you should practice your pitch shots, chip shots, bunker shots, flop shots, and eventually putting shots.
2.) Always prioritize your time for practice. As a novice in golf, you should try to spend most of your times on the practice greens rather than on the real golf course. You should not forget to put down the driver too. Trying to hit the balls the fastest and the hardest way won’t do you any good in the long run.
3.) Try to create a correct mind setting. As stated earlier, golf is a journey and not an end. Thus, you have to keep your positive spirit all throughout. Things might not go your way at all times. What is essential is the fact that you continue learning and you see this sport as something which you can do for fun!
Take It Only From The Expert-

Among the best golf ball strikers is Ernie Els. When playing, he has a seemingly effortless rhythmic swing of great impact to the golf ball being hit upon.
This is generally one of the reasons for the existence of his far and great shots!
With Ernie’s techniques done, there are lots of them which beginner golfers can learn from. One of which is the manner by which he fully extends his arms while doing the swing through the ball post impact. This technique allows him to carry a wonderful speed into the ball and make possible the very essential descending blow.
When you want to follow his footsteps through impact, the first thing that you have to do as a golf beginner is to visualize your right arm extending at its maximum to the direction of the target and the clubhead making its way low to the ground after the ball. By doing this, you will have the confidence to swing freely through the ball and do the same manner by which Ernie extends his arm. When you attain such state, you will surely feel a lot better with your performance.
-The right arm must be bent at impact.
-Post impact is the only time during the swing when the arms are allowed to be straight.
-Create an impact bag. This can be a duffel bag consisting pillows or towels inside. Place this bag just ahead of your impact position and practice. When practicing, try swinging into the bag feeling the left wrist flat (for right handers) the right wrist bowed and the hips open 35-45 degrees at impact. This will allow you to definitely feel the impact and do things the same way that Ernie Els do.

How To Play Golf- Guide For Golf Beginners When Learning The Basics
21. September 2010 by Tee It Up Pro Shop.
While watching golf in TV, you might have observed several things. Players come in different sizes and shapes. They even have their own looks which are all very unique. From Jim Furyk, Tiger Woods, and some others, they are all totally different. However, there is one thing common to all these- basics!
All these contain the basics with only few changes that can be observed.
Aim
All things in golf is anchored upon your target and how you aim is very crucial. A perfect swing aligned the wrong way will send the ball at a wrong direction. Most elite players keep an effort to aim the feet, knees, hips and shoulders parallel left of the ball to target line that the club is on. In order to get rid of the development of a swing based on alignment compensation, it is highly advisable to align feet, knees, hips and shoulders parallel left of the target line.
Stance
The stance is the platform for the swing. This requires a mixture of mobility and stability to create an effective swing. For short irons, it is highly recommended to have a stance width of hip width. This is actually measured from the outside hips towards the instep. With longer clubs including the driver, it is recommended to have a shoulder width stance. This time measure from the outside of the shoulder going down to the instep. Stance actually ensures stability in base with accurate movement to accelerate the lower portion of the body during the downswing.
Ball position
This means, where the ball located in the stance depending to the feet. For a driver the ball should be located 1 ball width inside of the left heel with the stance shoulder width separately. For a wedge, the ball should be placed in the middle of a hip width stance. The irons increasingly work down from a long iron being 2 balls inside the left heel and each iron more and more stirring back until such time that the wedge is positioned in the middle of the stance.
