Learn the basics of the golf swing starting from the grip, stance, and posture all the way to the transition and impact zone.

3 quick long game tips

While the pros would say the short game is more important, most golfers benefit more from improving their long game. Here are 3 quick tips to get you started.

  1. 1

    Develop a pre-shot routine

    Do the same thing before every shot. Sounds simple, but this will transform your game overnight and help under pressure.

  2. 2

    Hold your finish

    Begin with the end in mind. Knowing you are going to hold your finish helps you fully commit to your shot and strike it pure.

  3. 3

    Count to 3

    Say, "1" at the start of your swing, "2" at the top, and "3" at impact. This will help eliminate bad swing thoughts.
