For as long as anyone alive can remember the game of golf has been around and has gone through very few changes since then. One main question that many golfers ask is how that can be. The answer is easy and they know it whether they realize it or not. The reason the game of golf has had to change so little over time is because it s so simple in design and so perfect in design that the burden of change falls on the player. The game is simple, get the ball in the hole, that's it. The hard part is for the player to develop the necessary skills to adjust their power and dexterity just right in order to get the ball to do what they need it to. The player has to constantly change their skills base don the course and the conditions and that is where the challenge in the sport lies.

If you ask the best golfers on the planet what they attribute their success to the most they will point their swing. The swing is the most important part of anyone's game, not the clubs or the cart. We want to go over the parts of a good swing from a right handed golfer's perspective. When you go back for your swing be sure to stretch as far as you can. Lots of golfers do flexibility training to enhance this and still be able to keep their upper body over their right leg. The more ability you have to reach the better you will set yourself up for the rest of the swing.

The next part of the swing after learning to reach as far back as you can is making the club move as fast as you can get it go before striking the ball. The faster the club head is moving when it hits the ball the further the swing will go and that is the whole goal. As you come down push your right leg forward and do what you can to focus the momentum and energy from your shoulders and hips and arms to the club. A good pro can hit the ball at 160 miles per hours which may not be achievable for you but the small gains over time will add up and you will improve your swing drastically.

The last important part of a golf swing is the follow through. If you can get yourself to follow all the way through to the back after impacting the ball and a long and smooth club rotation then you will go far. The more that you practice the better your swing and ultimately your game will get. The whole point of going to the course is to get better and this will help you do that.
