Whether you are just beginning to play golf or you have been playing for years, shaving a few strokes off your score and lowering your handicap is always a challenge. If you are like most golfers, you just can’t afford to spend hundreds of dollars a lesson for someone to analyze your swing. Well, one Golf Swing Expert has taken his years of experience and put together a simple method that is guaranteed to help you shave strokes off your score and lower your handicap.

This system has been designed to assist golfers at all levels to improve your golf scores and lower your handicap. You will learn a revolutionary new grip, setup, and alignment technique in a simple format with clear pictures and illustrations.

This Simple Golf Swing system uses the golfers’ spine as the focal point of the swing. As your shoulders rotate on the backswing, the spine operates as an axis.

Throughout time, Golfers everywhere have looked for ways to improve their golf game. Flexibility is one of the most important aspects of a good golf swing. By doing some simple stretching exercises you can improve your flexibility and your golf game.

Many golfers believe that in order to hit the ball further, they have to swing harder. The reality is that with more flexibility your golf swing will naturally create more club head speed without swinging any harder. You will be able to hit the ball further off the tee with more accuracy by doing some very simple stretching exercises.

Having a fluid golf swing is one of the keys to consistency. Stretching exercises will give you the ability to develop that consistent fluid swing. By just taking a few minutes a day to stretch your muscles your performance on the golf course will improve.

Do you need to improve your shoulder turn? With the correct stretching exercises you will be able to improve your shoulder rotation and improve your golf swing.

Trying to play golf when you are dealing with a sore lower back is almost impossible. Doing some simple stretching exercises is a good way of reducing and in some cases eliminate lower back pain all together. Not only will this help with your golf game, it will help you in your everyday life. Nagging back pain is one of the hardest things to ignore no matter what you do.

Improving your circulation and your blood flow is an important aspect of good health. Stretching exercises that are used by professional golfers in preparation for a grueling day on tour are the same exercises that will help you improve your circulation and blood flow.

Whether you are young or old, a newbie to the game of golf or a seasoned golfer, simple stretching exercises should be a part of your daily routine. When you take the time to loosen your muscles and prepare your body for a day on the golf course, your body will be prepared and you will be more likely to play better.

I take time to do my stretching exercises before I ever swing a golf club.  I know it has helped me and I am sure it will help you. For more information on improving your golf game with simple stretching exercises, I recommend you take a look at 101 Stretches for Golf.

Have you ever considered what the source of your problems might have been when you just finished a poor round of golf?

Many people will be surprised to know that most of their problems stemmed from the way they were holding their clubs.

You probably already know the situation I am about to describe.

You hit a bad shot and then you tell yourself that the next shot has to be better to compensate and the pressure begins to grow.

Along with the increasing pressure is a tendency to grip the clubs too hard.

Tension has a tendency to make us do that.

Along with this tight grip we have on the club goes a corresponding loss of control.

The ball starts flying in all directions, and the tension builds ever more, until you look at your knuckles and they are white from the pressure.

If your clubs had to breathe you would have choked them by now.

I had a playing partner who had a simple list of instructions that he would read when his game started to fall apart and at the top of that list was ‘don’t strangle the clubs’.

It’s simple and we all know about it, but this visual reminder was all that it would take to get his game back on course and ensure that the tension wasn’t there in the rest of his game.

This technique of having written guidelines was so powerful that several other people started using it.

It was like having your own personal golf pro walking with you and giving you the necessary instructions when things started to go wrong.

Those words would allow him to focus on the next shot and release all the tension that would have otherwise crept into his game.

Try carrying your own list of ‘game savers’ around with you next time and don’t hesitate to read them at the first sign your game might be falling apart.

It is an incredibly powerful technique.
