Dave's Golf Tips For Left Handed Golfers

Finding golf tips for left handed golfers can feel like digging for a needle in a haystack

. There are thousands of articles and web pages devoted to right handed golfers, but lefties often seem to be left out of the loop.

So for left handed golfers here is a summary of simple but important left handed golf tips just for you.

Which ever side you swing from the mechanics of a golf swing are basically the same and the fundamentals of golf need to be mastered first before tackling the more advanced aspects.

The most important tip for a new left handed golfer is to keep their head down. Many new players lift their head to see where the ball is going.

The next most common mistake is not allowing both hips and body to fully rotate as they come through the ball and into the follow through. To power your swing, as a left handed golfer you need to fully rotate to the right as far as possible, your right hip leading and your hands following.

You should also lead your swing with your right hand, but finish with your left. The power of your dominant hand and the power of your dominant side then combine to drive through the ball at contact.

One of the most important golf tips for left handed golfers is to attempt to finish your swing with a complete follow through that finishes with you on the balls of your feet. You do not want to finish your swing flat-footed. If you finish your swing on the balls of your feet, then you know that your hips made the full rotation required for maximum power.

No article on golf tips for left handed golfers would be complete without a few words on course management. As you play more courses, you may begin to notice that most have holes that veer left to right. These are known as dog leg holes. To play them effectively, a draw shot is required. This shot makes the ball curve, under control, to the right (it curves to the left for right handed players).

Make sure you reverse any instructions on golf shots given on websites and in articles that have been written for right handed players and take the time to practice them. This is one shot that will serve you well for years to come.

Last but not least, a good set of golf clubs especially designed for left handed players, will help you play to your full potential. Left handed Golf clubs can be found in good golf shops and online golf sites.
