The swing, the slice and ultimately the golfing experience is one that can be as enjoyable as you want it to be. But it takes much more than a trendy tee shirt, expensive golf clubs and a stylish stance to have a good golf game. And the novice golfer needs to go through as many golf tips as possible in order to improve his game. Of course, one can nag golfing acquaintances and seniors but mastering some of these tips will go a long way in getting you the confidence you need.

Let us get started from the very basics. A strong foundation can make way for good golf!

The club and your grip: the long stick that you hit the ball with, yes, that golf club can make or break a game. When you get into golf, a golf club is the first thing you come across. Mastering your grip is an important thing. The right pressure can enhance your control over the club and improve your swing. Hold the club more with the fingers than within the palm. The forefinger and the thumb create a ‘V’ so that a golfer standing opposite to you will only see the 1st 2 knuckles of your hand. The little finger meets the forefinger under the grip. This is the standard neutral style and is good to master. You can have one, two and 3 knuckle grip for different swing styles.

Relax: don’t be too rigid. Relax your muscles. It helps, seriously. Golf is so much about getting the right balance and you will not get that by trying to stand like a still board. You must be able to hold the golf club easily for a shot at the ball. Do not try any awkward movements for the sake of keeping still. But yes, you must try to have your head still as you need to focus on the ball. All this adds to a good stance, good balance and hopefully, a good shot!

Stance for the slice: make sure your shoulders face your goal. Ideally, your feet need to be as apart as your shoulders. Make sure your elbows are positioned correctly. At your feet, even the golf club must face the goal you have.

Style your swing: there is the backswing and there is the downswing. Make sure you get the basics right. Follow the progress of the ball and check out what stance helps you the most. This is helpful for your golf slice. Swing styling can help with distance shots as well.

Decide the slice: push, pull and straight, have you heard of these 3 different kinds of slice? If you haven’t, make note. Incorrect angle can ruin the swing. The ideal angle of shaft would be 45 degree. A little here and there and your ball might roll just past the path!
