The 5 Best Tips for Beginner Golfers

[@jarydlara7633]

After watching this video a few times and taking notes, I went to the range for just the second time in my life (after a completely miserable and discouraging first-time experience) and implemented these tips. I was absolutely astonished by the results and could not believe the difference after just a few shots. I actually found myself swinging with accuracy and even hit the pin I was aiming for about 80 yards out with my 9 iron! Thank you so much for this video!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Jaryd Lara awesome! 👏 This made our day....thanks for watching, sharing your story and posting.. 👊

Looking forward to getting on thr range with these tips. Been away from the game for abt 12yrs and the rust is heavy.

[@1UpTimpossible]

9 iron? I hit my 58° wedge 75-80 yards. Rainbow flight pattern and it sticks the green. Keep it up and you'll gain yardage in no time. I grew up on a golf course, so its not really fair.

[@andypowlesland599]

I must admit your style of teaching, content and useful applicable lessons have to be some of the best I have seen! Keep it up sir and I’m sure your going to alter so many peoples score cards for the better!

[@Huskercentral]

As a life long baseball player, I have been loading up and swaying back to my back foot. I had no idea you were suppose to have most of you weight on your front foot and rotate your hips. That's a huge tip for me, thank you!

[@shawnagunn9054]

Logan Merrick i had to cut a tennis ball in half and put under heel of my lead foot. That helps to make sure all weight is even on both feet. Not on toes or heels. And that helped me learn to shift my weight and get more power in my down swing.

[@collinlambrecht4118]

Same here guy

[@extrememetaldrummer1]

Dude, same here! Life-long baseball player who could have made it pro. I never realized that swaying and loading to the back foot were detrimental. Constant topping! One day, I just planted my feet, kept my head still, rotated my hips and learned how to distribute weight to the front. Boom! Got it nailed! The game is so much more enjoyable now. Played 9 holes the other day and did not top 1 ball and hit my irons pure and not far from the pin.

[@BrenDinner]

It’s rough going from a baseball swing to a golf swing. Played probably 80 games and season with club and trying to change that muscle memory is so difficult. Once I was able to make the adjustment, I could finally compete with my friends and not lose 10 balls a round. The struggle was real but I appreciate the craft more now!

[@daveoxlade6878]

I consistently either push out to the right or have a wild slice to the right, I've just finished my 2nd session at the range using your 5 tips with a nice slow tempo and hit the straightest shots I've ever managed. Thank you!

[@kjmassey911]

That’s what I’m aiming for...no pun intended. I am getting better but have a tendency to hit to the right like off the toe I guess. I’ve only been playing a year but getting better from the tips Todd gives.

[@lakerfan7324]

Sounds like your swing path could be out to in

[@susanthomas8700]

I watch this video almost every time I golf. These 5 tips changed my game. Thank you!

[@paulschieber865]

My 14 yr old son got a set of golf clubs given to him- we watch the your video several times practiced twice and from the practice drill of standing on lead foot with back foot off to the side I can use my 8 iron and hit the ball straight for about 200 yards- phenomenal

On the range, particularly with my irons, I am relaxed and hit very few bad shots. When on the course, where it counts, I seem to tense up and hit a lot of bad shots. How best to "carry from the range to the course?"

Sandra Fudge awesome! Made our day...thanks for sharing. Hope you subscribed 👊

[@NonnyStrikes]

If you're reading this in 2019 .. best thing to work on is your grip at first. I can't explain how much this helped me understand the swing. Also, do "full swings". So that you can see the club head with your peripheral vision (left eye for right hand golfers). This will help you start to understand what the club feels like when it hinges in your hands. If you continually focus on practicing this.. I PROMISE... you will become better at golf. I sucked for 4 years until I finally told myself enough is enough. I went and pitched/putted on the practice green for 3-4 hours a day, developing a full swing while maintaining correct power for the shot I was taking. Like a great man once said "It's all in the hips".

[@gobrowns2163]

Great video! How to do place your right hand on the club if the middle of your left index finger is wrap around the club. I do the interlock method between the my left index finger and my right pinky? Cant wait to try these 5 tips.

[@richardhagen1296]

Todd, I have been playing golf for 25 years and I am a 6 handicap. Why? Because I watch this video before I go play to BRING ME BACK TO BASICS every round. It is mastery of the basics that will allow us to play good golf. I go to the range about twice a week and watch this video on my phone before I start while I am stretching. My playing partners think I am obsessed with these basics...as they hand me their money! Thanks. PS. I also use game improvement irons, Because they improved my game!

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Post of the week right here Richard! Let them roll their eyes as you are taking their 💵. 💪

[@andrewwolf4963]

i’ve found that doing the drill off the trail foot is better because it promotes your body to turn more , if you do it on your lead foot you can often promote a swing that becomes all arms

Hello Todd, (hey Nick), I'm 63, just retired and from California and had this crazy idea that I would to return to this game after 20 years of life/work keeping me off the golf course. Went to the range a few weeks ago for the first time and remembered how frustrating golf was and wondered what the hell was I thinking deciding to play golf again...then I found your videos and your book The Bad Lie, and everything changed for the better at the range and not a frustrated, each visit gets a little better and better. Looking forward to playing my first round this week with more confidence and not discouragement. Thank you, for your videos and your book...you definitely have taken the "stupid" out of the golf swing for us experienced golfers. I watched one of your videos with you in the real world on a course from tee to green, very informative...any chance of seeing more of that?

Hi, Todd. This has been an especially helpful video, and I am going to work those drills. A helpful video if you can make would relate to neck position. I can actually turn farther than I do, but my neck is rather stiff so turning too much pulls my head around so the ball jumps out of my glasses and I miss hit. I saw your comment about head position aimed behind the ball, but if I turn it leftward then I can backswing farther before the ball jumps out of my vision. Thanks for all you do for us.

Can you elaborate or another video that shows the club head at this position from different angles?\

Good question, the top thumb should be slightly to the right of center for a right handed golfer. The bottom thumb will be slightly left if center...make sense?

Gregg Glass our pleasure! Which one did you find the most helpful?

[@wibbers2000]

I may have found this video late but keen to try the one foot and see how it aids my swing. On a second note, I am interested in your opinion on where the grip starts in relation to the end of the club? When you were showing the balancing it seemed quite far down and I am wondering if was to show the effect, or if that was the correct location.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Good question, there should be around 1/2 inch between the back of the lead hand and the top of the grip. Better to move the hands down than grip on the very end of the club. Hope that helps!

[@juicemoua6118]

Thanks for the info on taking off. It's been 10 years since I've played competitively, and I cannot remember how to take off from the ball. In short, I've been taking off low and shifting my waist which is very inconsistent. Also, good point on the grip. I believe the grip is one of the most important techniques. If your grip is off, it's hard to feel comfortable with every shot.

Todd, Great information! I've been struggling with inconsistency my whole life, and you made me realize I'm a slider on the back swing, instead of turning into the right heal. Haven't tried it out on the course yet, but it seems to help me get through the shot a lot better and finish the downswing after the ball instead of ahead of it. Thanks! Can't wait to give this a try.

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Our pleasure...we do our best to help the follow golfer...be sure to let us know how it goes!

[@mikehuskey8954]

Todd, great information on how to keep the golf swing as simple as possible. Now if I own an Impact Snap trainer and I watch what you do at impact and what that device teaches at impact, don't you need to "flip" a little at the bottom of the swing to "release" at impact?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

There is some release of the wrists to get the clubface back to a neutral position. The real KEY is the timing of this release. Done too early, and you will struggle with contact and distance...done too late and it will be difficult to get proper loft on the ball.

[@tommeagher3129]

Todd, when talking about a short left thumb in the grip I have a different variation. I have the tip of my left thumb touch the tip of my left index finger and I check to see it is correct if the “v” formed between my thumb and index finger points over my right shoulder. What do you think?

[@CBIPandK]

I learned to grip the good club by interlocking my thumb on my left hand with my pinky on my right. What are your thoughts on that?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

CBIPandK interesting, that is a style I am not familiar with. I guess if to works and is producing the results you want then stay with it, if not, give these ideas a try. Thanks for posting!

I did the 60/40 weight with my left foot for years and I was told that it was wrong in what I was doing as sometimes my hips got too far ahead on the downswing resulting in straight shots going well left! Good to view a lesson which differs from other coaches! Many thanks - I will get back to this set up!

alan carlyon you bet! Thanks for posting and watching...try the 60-40 and be sure let us know how it goes

I find pulling the Club straight back from the ball and kee98ng the Club a little lower pn back swing helps . Pulling Club up off of ball makes for a harder swing plane.

What about putting left hand thumb to the side of the grip? Was told this lightens the grip. Thanks

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Christopher Kane interesting...it makes sense...how has it worked for you?

[@CKGolfer]

@@USGOLFTVshow it was explained to me that the thumbs are strong and can guide the club too much if "on top" . I tend to grip hard, so it has helped.

Thanks for this video! The biggest take away for me was the grip to help me in my practice session yesterday at the range.

I think the reminder not to sway the hips and to rotate is key. I will try that tip today. As a beginner and tall man I’ve just bought oversized clubs and last night, first time out, I kept hitting the top of the ball. Direction is there, but not striking the ball clean. Should I be squatting down into it more?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Ronan McMillan yes, the rotation vs the sway is a key to great golf, be sure to let us know how it goes. 👊

[@elisegray6962]

I have a gold game at work end of May, there's no doubt I will be training and apply your tips. I did one crazy golf in my life lol. Thanks for the video

[@vikkimcintosh5727]

do you want to be more on toes or flat footed ? also was a pitcher how to keep from twisted wrist or popping wrist ?

[@Superutubeking]

Fantastic golf tips, I just subscribed. Happy new year My main problem is over hitting putting too much power in my arms to make the ball go further It does go far but no consistency. I have been told it’s faster rotation from the hips and weight transfer not the arms is that correct?

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Superutubeking thanks for watching and the comment. What is the direction is the ball curving?

[@halamadrid6733]

Yesterday was my first time golfing and it was a mess, I did raise my left arm like you said, and I would always hit the ball straight and low

[@USGOLFTVshow]

Great to see you playing the game. Keep at it...👍

[@Timetraveler1111MN]
