Why do I Suck at golf?
One of the likely reasons you suck at golf is simply because you don’t practice enough – and when you do, it’s not quality practice.
Why is my golf swing failing Me?
Of course, there are plenty of technical reasons why your golf swing is failing you – whether it’s a poor takeaway, incorrect hip turn, terrible clubface control or that your putting grip isn’t reliable when you finally get the ball onto the green.
Are You using poor techniques in your golf game?
We know that most golfers are using poor techniques, this is obvious. While there is more to the game than purely technique (strategy, game management etc.), improving how you move the club is a big help – and staying within safe zones regarding impact parameters is paramount to success.
Why do we use cues in golf?
Yet, the golf industry uses overwhelmingly internal cues (move your body like X). External cues have been shown to help the nervous system coordinate all of the complex moving parts into a workable solution – meaning we help our body work harmoniously together.
1. Practice more often, and with intent
One of the likely reasons you suck at golf is simply because you don’t practice enough – and when you do, it’s not quality practice.
2. Get regular lessons with a golf instructor
As I’ve explained in another article, regular golf lessons are certainly worth it if you’re serious about improving – however, it’s important to partner with an instructor who is a good fit for you.
3. Play with people who are better than you
While there are times when it’s great to golf alone, one of the best ways to rapidly improve is to play with people who are better than you.
4. Play competitively
We all know it can be fun to sink some beers on the course and play barefoot every now and then, but if your mission is to become a better player, you have to compete against others.
5. Do more on-course practice
How many times have you had the best pre-round range session ever, only to step onto the first tee and blaze your drives 50 yards off target? I’ve lost count myself.
6. Hit more fairways
It seems like an obvious tip, but unless you possess Tiger Woods’ recovery game, in order to score well (and stop sucking at golf) you need to hit fairways.
7. Improve your ball-striking
One of the biggest things separating average and elite golfers isn’t chipping or putting, but ball-striking.
Why is golf so tough?
Golf is tough – deal with it. It’s tough because we. Have a whole host of moving parts. If you return the club with a fraction of an error (a few degrees or quarter of an inch here or there) the shot can be a disaster. Each shot/club is different and requires a different movement to some level.
Can you hit a blade of grass in a 10 ft putt?
the golf balls are not perfectly balanced, or. you may hit a blade of grass early on in a 10 ft putt which knocks it offline. the wind may suddenly gust or drop off the moment you hit your shot. you may get a harder or softer bounce on the green than you predicted.
