Individuals who have more experience or success in performing at some discipline are often willing to share that tried and proven technique. These "tips" are often very valuable if we take note of them and put them into practice.

Golf is a shared passion in which golfers are willing to pass on tips to those who may be struggling with the same challenge. A golf tip can help improve the golfer's game as well as decrease their handicap.

Driving for distance, putting and your short game are three critical components to the sport of golfing. A golf tip addressing each of those three major areas are as follows.

Adding Distance

It makes sense that a golfer will do anything to improve their driving for distance. Being successful at this part of the game will do wonders for your golf score. One golf tip that addresses the distance of your drive has to do with your mental attitude and practicing your swing.

So often golfers approach the ball and endeavor to put all of their strength and might into the drive to "wow" their golfing partners and add distance to their drive. Unfortunately, more often than not, the drive fails to reflect the effort exerted.

In two words, a golf tip to add distance to your drive would be the advice to "chill out." To add distance to your drive, the best course of action is to attain a state of mental relaxation. Affirm in your mind that a powerful drive comes from being relaxed in mind, body and your grip on the golf club.

Putting

You have made it to the green in two shots. Now it is time to put your putting game to the test. Unfortunately, by the time you have finished playing the hole it may have taken you as many as three or four strokes to put the ball into the cup.

A golf tip offered for your putting game is to make sure that that you put enough swing into your putt to achieve the needed distance. Frequently a golfer's game fails here simply due to the lack of distance when delivering the putt. This lack of distance may cause the golfer to add unnecessary strokes to their game. Adding distance to your putt can be accomplished by practicing your putts to achieve distance.

Chip Shot

You have made that great drive and you are within feet of the green. All you have to do is simply take a chip shot to lift the ball onto the green.

A two-part golf tip to help with this part of your game is to first of all select the iron of choice to chip the ball on to the green. Then, gripping the club softly in your hands, take a very slight, but firm stroke. The stroke you take should be similar to your putting swing. This action will allow for a more controlled shot resulting in the desired effects of lifting the ball onto the green.
