Strategy The Shortest Way to the Cup - Playing Target #Golf|Golf for Beginners

Each hole can be taken into consideration an individual journey, leading the participant thru risks and idea-upsetting conditions that require both mental and bodily ability.

That being stated, why is it so difficult for golfers to get to par?

Are you simplifying your shot technique via picking a target, aiming and releasing...Or are you thinking too much?

Not having a specific target for your next shot is like roaming aimlessly through the streets of a city trying to get to your destination. Without a map or pointing yourself in the right direction, you're more than likely to take more time to get to point B and, without a plan of attack in golf, you are more than likely to rack up strokes.

So, how can we create a plan of attack at the golf course?

Tips on Playing Target Golf

Have you ever heard the saying, "How Do You Eat an Elephant? One bite at a time! Instead of thinking in terms of playing eighteen holes, try taking the process down to one hole at a time.

Not always is your driver the best club to take off the tee box - assess which club can maneuver you into the best position for your next shot. Some golf courses give you books with tips on how to play each hole including the yardages to trouble spots - read the book as you approach the hole - this can be very helpful! You don't know how many people that we have seen on-course have the book in their hands and don't look at the book ... when they do, they only look at the pictures!

Whether at the tee container or approaching the inexperienced, pick out the very smallest goal you may see that allows you to set you up for your next shot, whether or not it's a dark patch on the fairway or something that catches your eye. Aim at that concentrate on.

Pick a gap down the green which you want your ball to land.

You never want to look at, or acknowledge, trouble areas like bunkers or water hazards - you only want to focus on your target. I know, we have ALL said these words but...NEVER say before you hit your shot... "Don't go there." Your brain doesn't hear the "don't"... ah, those swing thoughts really make a difference, don't they?

Once you've got determined at the goal, visualization is prime - preserve your picture ideal shot and destination in your thoughts as you practice your swing, committing to what your thoughts's eye has simply visible and swing away without considering swing mechanics. Adjusting your swing must be accomplished on the riding variety, no longer as you are aiming and pulling the cause.
