A golfer has a tendency to hang back on the swing and try to help the ball up but that is the wrong thing to do. And if you do this inconsistently your approach shots will never be the correct distance. If you are inconsistent hitting the golf ball on approach shots it is obvious the score will rise.
To be a good iron player and let your golf equipment do the job it was designed to do you have to hit down and through all the iron shots, even the wedges. Here is a couple good swing thoughts for you to remember. Keep everything moving forward all of the way through the shot, do not hold back.
The other thought is when you hit the golf ball the back of your left hand should be facing the target. You need to feel as if you are backhanding the ball at the time of contact. the nine iron will always go the correct distance if you hit it the same way every time, thus lowering the score count, everybody’s goal.
This is a good tip for a beginners guide to golf and a good reminder for the rest of us also. Now get out there and hit the ball, have fun.
Beginners golf tips part 5
As you play golf and practice on the golf range you may notice some of the distances of the clubs are almost the same. The 7 fairway wood hits the ball 170 yards and so does the 5 iron.This is normal and there are clubs that overlap. Use the one you prefer or have better control over.
Some golfers prefer irons and can hit them very well even the 3, 4, and 5 while others prefer to hit fairway woods or hybrid woods. It is all up to you and what makes you comfortable. Always use the best golf equipment suited to your swing and game. Your mid irons 6-7-8-9- are designed to hit the ball higher and land it softer on the green.
As you aim at the green accuracy is very important and the short irons, 9, pitching wedge, sand wedge are the clubs you need to know how to hit effectively. Always remember drive for show putt for doe. Meaning the good golf scores are made around the green on the short game.

The golf driving ranges have distance markers on them so you can get an idea how far you hit each club. That will transfer to the par 3 coarse as you are improving your golf swing while on the real course. Now comes time to hit your first tee shot on the course.
First thing is how far away is the green so you know which club to use. It could be farther than you hit your driver or not, so make sure you hit the golf club that will get you on the green, distance wise.
As you play you are on a huge learning curve so relax and enjoy the experience. Swing easy and hit the correct club for the distance. You have learned on the range that every club is for a certain distance so use that knowledge and let the club do the work, do not over swing.

Now you have worked you way up in sizes of your golf clubs and you are looking at the big driver in you bag. You have been improving your golf swing with the irons like your friend told you to do. And you feel pretty good about your golf swing so why not give the driver a try.
If you swing the driver the same speed as your irons the ball should go much farther so that should really be fun. So you give it a swing and find out it ain’t easy. The extra length and weight out so far is creating a problem. Then you remember your friend told you this would happen so you choke up and swing a little slower and you at least hit the ball instead of the ground.
Golf Club Shaft 101 part 2
The flex of the golf shaft will have an impact on what the golf ball does after impact. Either directly or indirectly the trajectory, accuracy, and the distance of the shot are all effected. So now you realize why the shaft of your golf clubs are so important.
The club head changes position or angle constantly as you swing the golf club. The face is open at the top, meaning the part of the club head that strikes the ball is facing the same way as your face. As you swing, it turns naturally to square up with the ball, hopefully.
As you swing down to strike the golf ball the shaft will flex and keep the face open longer. So if you have a high flex shaft L or A and you swing fast or jerky then you will not hit the golf ball with any accuracy. Are you starting to see the importance of having the correct shaft on your new or used golf clubs.
