Golf is a high-end recreational sport that is becoming increasingly popular and loved by many people. In particular, for many people who want to play golf but don’t know how to start, please listen to the sharing and advice of experts!
1.Take a golf course
You should not play golf your way without understanding this subject. If you are new to golf, you should take a basic course to receive specific instructions on the rules of the game as well as how to play and calculate scores.
Being guided by a professional golf teacher will help you quickly understand the problem and shorten the time to get used to golf. If not, you can also learn and supplement this knowledge through books, the Internet…
2.Don’t skip the golf putt
Many people become too focused on the Driving Golf area, the area where they make swings, and forget the basics: Putt. Putt is also known as putting. In case the ball is in the green area, players often use this putting technique to put the ball into the hole.
Although this is a basic and seemingly simple golf technique, it requires players to be skillful and calm. If you have perfect golf putting technique, you have a 50% chance of scoring.
3.Focus on how to hold the stick
Because the hand is the only part that comes into contact with the golf club, holding the club properly is extremely important. According to experts, there are three main ways to hold the bat handle: interlocking, Vardon’s overlap grip and holding like a baseball bat. You can ask an expert for guidance to find the most convenient grip for yourself.
To get familiar with how to hold a stick, players must practice for at least a few months. Therefore, you should create a habit of holding the club even when not hitting the ball.
4.Practice in the driving range area
The driving range area not only allows players to comfortably push the ball without having to worry about retrieving it, but is also a great area to receive lots of useful advice and instructions.
There are many golf courses that allow players to hit the ball in the driving range for free, so players can practice in this area as a place to relieve stress.
5.Use cavity-back clubs instead of traditional blade clubs
Regular iron golf clubs are divided into two types: cavity back and blade. Traditional blade clubs can cause many difficulties for new players. Because the club head and sweet spot area are small, the possibility of missing the ball is higher, the ball trajectory is short and uncontrolled.
Meanwhile, the cavity back is designed to expand the club head instead of being evenly distributed like a blade club. Therefore, when the player accidentally hits with the edge of the club face, the club head will not rotate and the ball trajectory will still fly straight and stable.
6.Understand the rules of the game
Of course, every game has its own rules and so does golf. Players need to clearly understand the rules of the game to ensure they hit the ball correctly and score points. People who are starting to learn about this sport can learn the rules of the game from experienced people, experts, and instructors.
7.Buy used balls
Beginners often miss the ball and lose many, many balls. To avoid wasting a large amount of money on buying new balls, players can buy old balls.
8.Prepare carefully for a golf match
A golf match can last up to 4 hours. Therefore, in addition to the necessary golf equipment, players can prepare other personal items such as drinks, snacks, pens to mark points…
9.Don’t be pressured
Beginners tend to get pressured when watching others play on the field. If you don’t hit the ball too slowly, don’t be pressured by others. The starting phase always takes a long time and requires players to be patient.
10.Prepare funds for the “19th hole”
The 19th hole is a slang expression referring to the clubhouse. That means, after hitting the ball on the 18th hole to end the round, players will gather to rest, eat and relax. The clubhouse is often a useful place for players to share experiences, relax and even discuss work.
