G olf is a remarkable sport that can be played for fun or as a backdrop to mega-business deals. It can be expensive or done very cheaply. It can be world-class competitive or a casual Saturday pastime with friends. Tournaments can have millions in prizes, and games between leaders can help end wars.

Golf levels the playing field in a way that no other sport can. You dont have to be the biggest or the fastest to succeed. The game is played by the young and the old, the fit and the physically challenged. Golf has a universal appeal with a history that goes way back.

The beginnings are hard to pinpoint because people have played with balls and clubs for centuries. Sports enjoyed by ancient Romans have things in common with later Celtic games and much later, hockey. Variations of golf were played throughout Europe in the middle Ages, with evidence that it was popular in Holland. When a sport has been around this long, rules gradually set in over time, but for golf, ways of playing were different in different places. But the one thing they all had in common was hitting a ball from one place to another

In Scotland, gowf got banned on Sundays because young soldiers were playing the game instead of honing archery skills. Scotland is credited with developing the modern game. That was around the year 1744 in St. Andrews.

Over the years the sport has gained in popularity tremendously, particularly because it is so inclusive to all types of people of all ages. It is a game that can be played late into life, and all the walking is great exercise and very rarely do people get injured while playing. With major tournaments that offer massive cash prizes being broadcast on the big television channels, the sport is just increasing in popularity. The super stars of the sport, such as Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, have also done a lot to make golf even more appealing to a broad audience, bringing in even more fans than ever.

Golf is now a worldwide powerhouse sport, and with its popularity comes an intense desire by many to be able to play it well and master the game. Since golf is an extremely social game, it can get very competitive, and it can be quite enjoyable to beat your friends, colleagues, and fellow competitors. The goal of this book is to give you as much helpful advice as possible so that you can gain as much satisfaction and joy as possible from the game. So lets get started with the perfect golf swing.

T he swing is golfs Holy Grail. If everyone could swing well, then everyone would have a chance to play on pro golfing tours. Hitting a ball across the landscape seems simple enough, but in fact, golf is quite complex and requires a good amount of knowledge. Mastering the swing is the main thing needed to be good at the game. As is required for competence in any sport; golf demands patience, practice and focus.

Unlike other sports that involve striking balls, the golf ball will not be moving when you need to hit it, and just one major swing needs to be mastered. To get the perfect swing, it is vitally important to learn how to hit the ball in the center of the club.

Debate rages about which is more important, mastering putting or swinging straight and hard on the fairways. Experts say that 40 percent of a golf score is earned from putting. On the other hand, the driving distances of pro golfers are far greater than those of amateurs.

Most instructors will tell you a lot of specific things to do with your body in order to execute a proper swing. The problem is, trying to remember and carry out all the steps is nearly impossible. For most beginners, attempting to learn this way makes the swing worse. The steps involve variations of turning shoulders, hips, and shifting weight. These tips are technically correct in that the body does have to be aligned and move in certain ways to execute the best shot. The key is being able to swing in the most natural and efficient manner possible without having to memorize and focus on the proper steps. For most people, this type of mechanical instruction is just too complex and distracting.

One problem is that everyones body is different, so the perfect natural swing is slightly different for everyone. It can even be said that a persons swing reflects their personality.

A golf swing is a lot like a baseball bat swing except the ball is not at waist level. The first part of the swing is preparation, and then the actual swing. A pre-shot routine for most people involves a practice swing to one side of the ball. Then the actual swing should be a fluid, circular motion around the body.

Golf swings can vary quite a bit. There are those who play by feel and those who like to take a strict mechanical approach. Golfers who play purely by feel care little about some of the more technical aspects of a golf swing, preferring to do what just comes naturally to them. Mechanics, on the other hand, like to think of the swing as a procedure of steps that they try to follow precisely each time.

On a scale of one to ten, with one being feel-based and 10 being totally mechanical , heres how some pros fit in: Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Annika Sorenstam (the worlds top female golfer) are all around a number five on the scale, using feel and mechanics to get their perfect swing. Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia, on the other hand, consider themselves one or two on the scale, preferring to go almost totally by feel and natural instinct.
