PGA Professional Golf Tips For Beginners

Mark Mazzolo, Head Golf Professional

One of the most commonly requested improvements is “consistency”. You gain more consistency by striking the ball rather than scooping the ball. If you use the golf club how it was designed to be hit, your game will get more consistent.

Golfers come in different shapes, sizes, abilities, and talent levels that make every golf swing unique. For as long as I have been teaching this game I have not seen the same swing come from two different golfers but every good golfer is using the club correctly.

The golf club was designed to be hit in the most powerful position, slightly in front of the ball with forward shaft lean. If the sole of the club is lying flat on a surface the shaft of the club will always lean toward your target. With this fact in mind it is imperative that you use the golf club this way to consistently strike the golf ball.

The most effective way to accomplish the goal of using the club correctly is to combine a circular motion around your body with balance and limited extra movement making sure that your hands and body are in front of the ball when you are making contact.

There is no right or wrong way to swing a club there is just a right or wrong way to use the club!
