Tips For Golf – Its All About Alignment

If you stand over the ball on the first tee with your head full of swing mechanics you are almost certainly going to fail, so what should you be thinking about?

Here is a valuable Tip For Golf  I remember reading somewhere, its a story told by the members of The Los Angeles Country Club about the great Ben Hogan. He was playing an exhibition round on there north course. Hogan stood on the 5th tee a par 5 476 yard hole. If you know this hole the green is not visible from the tee so Hogan asked his caddie for a target, the caddie replied aim for the palm trees Mr Hogan, Hogan replied which palm tree?

This story is sometimes told to reflect Hogan’s perfection, but I think it shows Hogan’s knowledge of one of the most fundamental Tips For Golf. You must have a small and specific target to aim at before playing any shot in golf.

This probably sounds obvious to most of you golfers but I am amazed at the amount of golfers I have played with do not do this. After hitting the ball into the next county I sometimes ask what they were aiming at and there normal reply is something like, the middle of the fairway or the left side, some even say I don’t what I just didn’t want to miss right.

Now that’s just not good enough, that’s like deciding to fly to America and not even picking an airport to land at.

To get the best results from our brain and nervous system you need to focus on the smallest target possible to stand any chance of having a proper golf swing. This probably comes from our ancestors , the most successful hunter were those who focused on the beasts heart or other vital organ rather than just hurling there spear in the beasts general direction.

This Tips For Golf helps you in one obvious way. You will align yourself towards a small specific target and you will clear your mind of other distractions like swing mechanics and totally focus on the target.

Next time you are out for a round of golf spend some time focusing on that small target and you’ll be amazed at the difference that one small Tips For Golf can make.
