1.       Check Your Grip

Choking your club would definitely not help you in giving you more momentum in hitting the ball. Make your grip never too light or too tight. Try a drill using a toothpaste tube opened and try swinging with it. If the toothpaste comes out of the tube, you could tell that your grip is too tight. If you see the tube itself flying, tighten a little bit your grip.

2.       Observe Your Posture

Your posture affects the place in your club that hits your ball dramatically. Leaning too forward would have your club dig the green and therefore loss momentum in hitting the ball. Leaning too back would let you hit the ball only partially which would also not transfer the most momentum to the ball.

3.       Adjust Your Stance

Make sure you are pointing to the right direction as you may be performing the correct swing but aiming for the wrong thing. Make sure both of your feet are levelled with each other. Please also do make sure that both your feet are pointing to your intended target. Sometimes, these little refinements do count in your game.

4.       Hit the Ball, As Naturally as Possible

Remove the outside noise you are hearing by focusing on the ball. Forget analyzing your back swing while you perform it, instead, analyze your swing after you have performed it. You will always find mistakes at your swing so, swing as naturally as possible as your current swing would most likely yield you the best accuracy and range you could get as of that moment.

Playing good golf is easier said than done. The right habits and the right attitude would set you ahead of the others. Follow these four steps and see your game improve in no time.
