Hey guys I'm new here so I thought I would give some tips on improving your golf swing. You have to give to receive right? :) But if you guys have any pointers then feel free to post them below :)

1. When I first started learning how to play Golf I thought that the power came from your arms (though it does) and not from your legs. So I kept dropping my shoulder because I put so much power in my arms. Ofcourse you seasoned golfers know that this makes your hips sway and cause horrible slices or hooks.  Imagine a basketball is between your knee's and you have to keep it in one place :)

2. Not taking your time. When I first started I got really antsy so I would swing too quickly and lose my rhythm. I suggest that you make a conscience effort to slightly pause at the top of your backswing :)

3. Watch your Swing. Has anybody played Virtual Golf, or Indoor Golf. It actually records your swing so you can see what you are doing wrong. But if you don't have something like that there is an iPhone app called SpeedUpTV which allows you to record your swing and then zoom up, and slow down so you can accurately see any faults that you might have.

Any other tips?

    • Have you measured? 🙂
    • I'm bad about taking pictures, but here are a few Hole 1 on Duke, looking toward the green. The elevated green with bunkers surrounding it was a theme. The other theme was pin placements that were tough - this one is pretty far left. There were basically no easy pins on this day.     Hole 3 at Pine Needles. An extremely cool hole. Hole 5 at Pine Needles. The picture doesn't do the green site justice. Green of 6 at Southern Pines. A wild green, and a really cool setting at the edge of the property: Hole  Tee shot on 5 at Tobacco Road. Flag is on the flag, the huge fairway is to the right. Hole 8 at Tobacco Road. Downhill, medium length par 3 with this pin in the front part of the green. Really cool looking shot. A look at the pin placement and cottage on Tobacco Road 14. I hit one of my best shots of the trip here, to about 15 feet. 
    • Yes, but season 2 being all of six episodes is a bit of a let-down, even if the season itself wasn't.
    • This is one of the greatest posts I've ever seen in my life on sports message boards like this!! Bravo, Sir!! 👏
