Where golfers get better – together
Golf advice is everywhere.
Friends.
YouTube.
Instructors.
Random strangers at the driving range.
Some tips stick.
Some disappear before the next bucket of balls.
And every once in a while, somebody says something that completely changes how you think about the game.
So let's hear it.
What's the best golf tip you've ever received?
Could be:
- a swing tip
- a putting tip
- a mental game lesson
- course management advice
- practice advice
- or something so simple you're surprised it worked
No wrong answers.
Sometimes the best golf tips aren't complicated at all.
Drop yours below.
Let's hear it.
One good tip can save a lot of bad golf.
For me, it was surprisingly simple.
Slow down.
That's it.
Not:
* buy new clubs
* rebuild your swing
* learn 14 new drills
* watch another 6 hours of YouTube videos
Just slow down.
At first I didn't really believe it.
I thought more effort meant more distance.
More speed meant better golf.
Turns out my golf game strongly disagreed.
The slower and more controlled I feel, the better I usually play.
The hard part isn't understanding the advice.
The hard part is remembering it when I'm standing on the tee box convinced this is finally the time I should swing harder.
Golf has a funny way of teaching the same lesson over and over until it finally sticks.
Still working on that one.
