5 Simple & Proven Ways To Improve Your Golf On The Course

Author: Eddy Kong WW

Article:
When you go out to play a game of golf you're hoping for a good
round. Do you? I bet you would especially amateur golfers out
there.

I know many golfers do, and I have some question for you:-

Question 1 : How often does your outcome match what you hoped
for? Not as what you have expected for, right?

Question 2: Do you usually shoot the scores you had envisioned
before you teeing off? Again not what you want, right?

Question 3: If not, do you ever study where and how you could
have saved strokes and avoided those blow up holes, without
losing very badly.

I've got 5 easy and proven tips for you to implement immediately
that will shave 4-6 or even more strokes off your score the next
time you play. Give them a try and see what happens, but now I
am only to include the first two:-

Here they are:

1) First off you've got to put the proper fuel in your body
before you leave home. I mean eat something not too heavy that
gives you enough energy. Most golfers don't give it a second
thought.

They either don't eat at all before they leave home or they eat
something that is not going to give them the long-term energy
they're hoping for.

So whether it's lunch or breakfast before you leave you need to
consume a complex carbohydrate and a good protein source.

This combination will warrant the best use of your energy for
the long haul.

An example for breakfast would be a bowl of oatmeal and a couple
of eggs with a piece of fruit or a juice.

For lunch you could have a turkey sandwich on whole wheat with a
piece of fruit. Lot's of lettuce on the sandwich and try to
avoid mayonnaise or butter.

2) The second tip is to properly warm up your body before you
even hit your first ball. I see so many golfers show up 5
minutes before tee time, hack a few balls and head to the first
tee.

I mean doing some simple stretching exercise before injure your
hamstring.

Those golfers are headed for a double bogey right off the bat -
but hey they're just getting "warmed up" right?

A better approach is to give yourself at least 30 minutes before
your tee time.

First do some dynamic (movement oriented) stretches to prepare
your body to perform.

Things like arm circles, partial squats, toe touches, etc. Then
take some half swings with a 7-pound iron club.

Now after that you're ready to hit some wedges. You'll find with
this approach your hits on the range will be much better, which
will build your confidence.

3) Drink lots of water even before you leave your house. Try to
consume up to a gallon of water before you get to the course.

This will help you absorb and digest your pre-game meal and
hydrate your muscles for optimal performance. This is important
and should not be overlook, otherwise the consequences is
adverse.

Don't take this lightly. Dehydration causes energy loss, lack of
focus and concentration and fatigue later in the round.

And remember, that's before you even come to the course. Once
you get there, you should be drinking water every hole. Don't
forget about it.

4) Don't wait till you get tight to stretch on the course. You
should be constantly moving your body and stretching your joints
while you play.

I see and hear too many golfers complaining of tight lower backs
or shoulders during the round.

What amazes me is that with all that complaining they do nothing
about it. Why? Think of your body as a machine.

If the machine starts to break down - fix it. I mean stretch
those areas while you're playing. You'll see a big difference in
your swing mechanics late in the round.

5) Snack while you play. No I don't mean the full meal but
having mini snacks bar that most people taking before heading
for the gym.

When you supply your body with the proper nutrients your energy
levels stay balanced and you will avoid those mental lapses late
in the round.

How many times have you had a good score only to blow up late in
the round? I'll bet more than a couple of times. I know I have.
Treat your body like a Ferrari not a Ford Pinto. You only 1 body
if you want to win.

I hope you enjoy this series. Stay tuned for more golf ideas and
tips.
