Golf Tip (Part 1)- How To Master Shots Done On The Golf Course

September 6th, 2010 by articles

Do you really know how your clubs will work on ideal conditions? Back then, beginner golfers will just select their clubs depending on what they feel.

Later on, a golf expert named Dean Bemon came during the 1950’s. He was the first to analyze that the club to be used must be based on how many yards there were to the target.

If he was faced with a shot 125 yards to the flagstick and if his pitching wedge was the club that would cause the ball to travel that same distance, that will be the club that he is to choose! The process of choosing the right club then became a science because of Deane Bemon. Now many beginners learn to play golf this way.

After its introduction, not everyone accepted it right away. However, as time goes by, everybody accepted the idea that determining the exact distance for the ball to travel will help in deciding for the best club to be used. This is actually now an international standard.

One more popular golf player, a professional known as Jack Nicklaus, knew the same technique from Mr. Bemon and eventually became one of the greatest golf players of all-time.

Take Notes

For sure, you already know how essential it is to know your clubs, so to speak. You have to make use of the same strategy that former golfers used in order for you to hit the ball closer to the intended target as much as possible.

If you are clueless regarding the distance to which your ball goes with each hit of the club, your shots will continuously be too far or too short. Your scorecard will of course show it. Thus, you need take the time to remove the guesswork of how far your golf clubs will hit the ball. This will be essential not only for your score’s improvement, but your accuracy and concentration levels will increase as well.

Try to Learn How Far You Can Hit The Ball With Every Club

Even if clubs are designed for either long or short shots, the distance at which various players can create when hitting the ball using the same club can be totally different. This is actually the reason why many of beginner golfers don’t get the results they wanted to achieve.

The best possible way to learn in particular what you can accomplish with each golf club is to look for a huge field that is really big enough to carry the travel distance of your longest drive. Ensure that there are no windy conditions during that day, and of course be optimistic that the field is empty for security purposes. Keep reading I promise you will never read beginner golf instruction like this.

Now, take out every club and try to hit 7-10 shots with every one. After doing each shot, try to measure the distance by pacing off how far each ball traveled. In order for you to do the measurement accurately, you simply need to read the distance in terms of yards. For you to do this, try to take out a yardstick and take one step forward to cover the whole length. All you have to do now is take the same strides and walk the distance of each swing to learn exactly how many yards each your clubs will hit the ball.
