Sand traps and bunkers can ruin the game for the best professional golfer if the way to hit

from them is unknown; every golfer hits them at some point. The act of playing out of a trap

results in large holes in the sand that cause problems for golfers playing behind you. It is

considered proper etiquette to carefully rake the sand back in place when you make your

exit. If the bunker is well-kept, it will not present as insurmountable an obstacle for golfers.

Shots that push out to the right are often the result of your body sliding to the left during your

swing. As you take your downswing, release your hands to the ball a little faster. A consistent

ability to release your hands with speed does miracles for your shot accuracy.

If it's possible for you to do, play with better players than yourself and be mindful of their

techniques. You can benefit from the experience of your fellow golfers in more ways than

one. He or she doesn't need to be a professional golfer in order for you to obtain some good

advice on the subject. Pay attention to how they play to get new ideas, and just being in their

midst might make you rise to the occasion.

If your club isn't guiding you when you swing, go for a lighter grip. This easy fix shifts the

center of gravity of the club towards the head, which helps the mental aspect of your swing

mechanics.

For beginner golfers, learning to grip the club properly is key. Most commonly, people try to

grip the club hard in hopes of hitting the ball further. Instead, the club should be held loosely

in the fingers. Hold the club with a very delicate grip, as if you were holding a baby bird or a

child.

It is important to maintain a steady pace during games. The group that is behind you may be

annoyed if you are slow. If your group is playing holes slowly because of an unskilled player,

let the group behind you go ahead of you.

There are many different things that can cause your grip to slip during the swing of your club;

many people simply assume that the glove is the problem. Take a moment to check your

grips and see if they are starting to show wear. Replacing grips is relatively inexpensive and

will improve your swing.

It is best to grip your club with moderate intensity. Don't squeeze the club too tightly; this

makes your shots go further right than you want. If you're holding the club too loosely, it

tends to veer to the left. Use the way your shots go to figure out the right grip for yourself.

If you fail to distribute your weight properly when swinging the ball, resulting in your center of

gravity being off when you hit the ball, think more like a baseball player when practicing at

the driving range. As you swing, your forward foot should be slightly lifted; once you enter

into the backswing, you should step back down. This allows you to work on shifting your

weight as you swing the club.

You've discovered a bunker. Therefore, be kind to the next poor soul that follows suit. Take

the time to rake up all marks you leave from the ball, divot, and your footprints before you

leave. It is impolite to leave your footprints and club markings on the sand trap to interfere

with the path of another player's ball. So you know that whoever comes after you is going to

have a good shot, just get your rake and smoothen things out around it.

A golf green is a great play to relax and pursue pleasure in life. Remember, Hunter S.
