Just hitting a golf ball is usually considered easy, but hitting it to land on the spot you intend it to, is difficult. This requires a great deal of concentration and skill. This skill can only be mastered by constant practice. However there are some simple methods, which if followed carefully, can be really helpful for some golfers.
The key to hitting the ball in the intended area lies in the action of stroke play by the golfer. Listed below are a few hints provided by some expert golfers
To begin with, always grip the club firmly in your right hand to make sure your complete effort goes into your stroke play. Now stretch your hand and place your club head on the ground behind the ball pointing in the direction you want the ball to go.
Next ensure sure that the club shaft held by you is perfectly perpendicular to the direction you want to hit the ball.
Subsequently open your feet to a width comparable to the width of your shoulders. At the same time, ensure that the line joining your feet and the direction in which you want to hit the ball are parallel to each other.
Now grip the club with both hands, bend your knees a bit, turn your head a few degrees to the right, and keep your left eye on the ball.
Begin with your slow back swing action and take the club head to a position convenient for you.
Finally strike the ball quickly with the head of your club in a downward direction and continue with your club.
