We're going to provide some of our best golf tips to score better so the next time you hit the links you'll

Golf isn't an easy sport to master, but it sure is fun and the better you get the more exciting the game gets. Those of us who love the game know that the more information you have regarding the swing, course management, putting, etc. the more chance you have of playing better. That's why we will take golf tips from almost anyone who's willing to offer.
So what kind of golf tips can we offer up in this article?
Space is limited, so we'll try to focus only on those tips that are most asked for and that we deem to be the best golf tips to score better that seems to plague most golfers.
First, if you have a bad temper, you probably shouldn't take up golf. We're just kidding, really. However, golf can be a frustrating game. I'd a laid back person and have thrown my club a time or two a good 30+ yards into the woods. I've seen folks throw their clubs in the water, beat the heck out of the ground, and down right sell their entire set by the 18th hole.
Actually, golf can be good for your mental state and golf is a mental game so if you get nothing else out of this article, understand that in order to get better scoring at golf, you'll have to work on the mental aspects of the game.
You may find that you can take out your frustration on the golf course in productive ways and perhaps you can gain better control of that temper! Hey it beats a day at work doesn't it??
Since most people have trouble with their setup, our first best golf tips to score better will deal with the setup...
**Position your body so your body is parallel with the target line
**Your feet should be shoulder width apart. Sometimes for taller players, I recommend widening that stance a bit.
**Make sure the ball is in line with the club you are using. With short irons, put the ball in the center of your stance. Drivers, woods, and long irons - the ball should be at your front heal. Trouble shots will vary and that is an article in and of itself.
**Balance your weight on the balls of your feet. The key is to be comfortable because you'll be utilizing your entire body to maneuver through the line of the swing.
**Bend your knees slightly and keep your spine straight
**Another tip is to just move in a fluent motion back and forth, back and forth, letting your body move your arms
naturally through the ball.
**Keep your head stead and eye on the ball until well after you complete your follow-through swing. If you don't do this, you will have a tendency to stand up on the ball which will cause you to top the ball. Do this with all shots.
What has always worked for me is to pick a spot on the ball and don't let go. If done right the ball will go where you want so there's no need to look prematurely.
Just note that there are a lot of little tidbits to a perfect golf swing, but if you boggle your mind with all of these, you'll be sure to hit a bad shot.
Just to walk you through a golf shot. First I visualize my shot before I ever hit it. I learned this technique from the great Tony Robbins. I have hit a great golf shot at least once and perhaps you have too.
Picture that in your mind because you will set your body up to recall that shot and act in that motion. Then visualize exactly what you want the ball to do. Why do you think the pros stand behind the ball and line things up before they approach?
Then you line your body up according to the above. Keep your body in line, get comfortable, make sure your grip is solid, relax, and do your waggle. Keep this part consistent so your body knows what is going to happen (we did say this was a mental game didn't we?)
Once you've done all that, bring you club back in "one-piece" as they say. Let your arms break naturally shifting your weight to the back. Then in one motion with your head steady, bring the club down through the ball while shifting (not turning) your weight through the ball. Follow through, let your back shoulder bring your head up, and watch the beauty of your perfect golf swing.
Some additional tips to help you improve your golf game:
When putting, the best golf tips to score better include...
**Visualize the path your ball will travel so that it will go in the hole
**Read the green and take into account any dips that may cause your ball to change its direction. Then you can compensate with your aim.
**The putting swing is a smooth, pendulum-like action with no wrist break. You will swing with your shoulders and should always keep your head down.
**Be sure you put enough speed on the ball so that you will actually make it to the hole. There's nothing worse than coming up short on a putt. These lead to three putt disasters and can be very frustrating!
Putting is where you score and can certainly knock strokes off your game in a heart beat. We've all heard the saying you drive for show and putt for dough!
Anyhow this is just a start when it comes to mastering the game of golf. These are a few of our best golf tips to score better.
