Do you want to start playing a better game of golf? If so take a step back and learn the golf swing basics. Most people (especially beginners) do not realize just how important the basics are. Things like your grip, stance, focus, backswing, and downswing all have an impact on your golf swing.
It is never too late to learn the basics. It is better to learn them when you are a beginner. It is easier to learn things the first time than to try to unlearn what you are already doing. If you have been playing for years and skipped the basics, learn them now. You will be grateful you did when you shave 5 points or more from your game.
Each aspect of golf is important when you bring them together as a whole. If your stance is off your grip and swing will not be to the best of your ability. Each aspect will reflect in the others or at least affect the others.
The most important thing that you don't ever want to forget or stop doing is practice. Practice makes perfect. Even if you are a great player now, there is always room for improvement. If you love the game then practice will be fun, not a chore.
Golf swing basics can make a huge impact in the way you play. If you improve your basics, you will improve your swing, which will improve your game. In the end you will also build your confidence. Keep on practicing and maintain focus and your game will show it.
