If you are a beginner, researching in preparation for hitting the course is helpful, but ultimately practice truly makes perfect. While everyone has their own unique experience on the course, there are a few classic mistakes that every beginner makes that can be easily corrected. Check out some of the most common mistakes that golfers experience so that you can improve your game:

Not Warming Up

Warming up is absolutely crucial to having a successful game. During your warmup, it is important to get your heart rate up, practice your swings, and incorporate some putting. To complement your warm-up routine, especially in cooler conditions, read our Tips on How to Enjoy Golf in Chillier Weather.

Having poor grip

When you first start off playing golf, you may find that your grip is too soft or that it is too tight. If you do not have a good grip on the club, this can impact your swing in several different ways. Gripping too soft will not allow you to have complete control of your swing and gripping too hard will give off too much power.

Swinging too hard

This is a very common movement that can negatively impact anyone’s game. Make sure that you are swinging at a happy medium, but of course, this will depend a lot on the course you are on. Over time, it will become easier for you to navigate this.

Forgetting about golf etiquette

There is a specific etiquette required for the game of golf, and it is important to make sure that you are keeping this in mind throughout your game. For example, you should make sure that you are not raising your voice too loud, and that your phone is turned on vibrate or silent. Understanding the proper etiquette is crucial, and for more detailed guidance on playing the game right, consider our insights on Golf Etiquette. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
