Golf – it’s a wonderful sport, you could hit 100 bad shots, but that one good one you strike makes everything OK. Yet despite this, so many people leave the course feeling frustrated and deflated. Most golfing mistakes are unbelievably easy to fix, it’s just simple case of reading some golf swing tips and putting them into action.

To give you an understanding on what sort of common mistakes we’re talking about, we’re going to discuss them here.

First of all, everyone goes through stages in golf. By this I mean that one round, you’ll be really good and play consistently, whereas on the next round, you’ll be topping the ball into the rough all day. It’s very frustrating – and this is where our first problem comes about.

So many golfers go about golf with the wrong mentality. The most common mistake when it comes to mentality is taking your negative vibes from one bad shot to the start of your next shot.

You should treat golf like a one shot game all the way round. Every single shot is a different shot, not connected to the last. By thinking of things like this, you’ll eliminate your negative thoughts – it’s simple.

Without these negative thoughts, you won’t psychologically flake under the pressure.

Mentality is key to a good score, so do all you can to remain calm and in control for the entire round. Just relax, and enjoy your golfing.

This brings us onto our next common mistake made by golfers out there – trying too hard.

Golfers who don’t relax themselves on the course, and who try too hard to ‘whack’ the ball as far as they can simply won’t improve their game.

If you’re guilty of trying too hard out on the course, just slow down your swing. Of course, don’t become a lazy swinger – you still need to maintain control over your club, but by slowing down your swing you will be able to make sure you’re making true contact with the ball every single time.

Ever thought, “how do the pros make it look so easy… they hardly swing the club” – well it’s because they’ve slowed their swing down and perfected their technique. Once your technique is perfect, sure, you can speed your swing up, but you probably won’t see the need to!

These, of course, are just two of the common mistakes golfers make out on the course. There are many others, including hooking the ball, slicing the ball and over-swinging the club (to name just a few).

Remember, if you find yourself falling foul to some of these common mistakes, check out a golf swing clinic and read up on the latest tips to help you straighten out your game.

Happy golfing!

After alienating himself from the world of golf to reorganize the household, Tiger Woods finally decided to return. Comeback ‘The Tyger’ will take place in April. Woods will be back swinging his golf club at the Masters Tournament which will be held in Augusta, Georgia, April 8 next.

“The Masters is where I won the first major tournament and I looked at this tournament with great respect,” Woods said as quoted by ESPN.

“After that it took long enough to get away from golf for a moment, I felt I was ready to begin this season at Augusta,” added the world number one golfer.

Woods withdrew from courses within an unspecified time since December last year. Resignation that he did because he wanted to repair his marriage to Elin Nordegren.

Nordegren Woods marriage with golfer shaken after the scandal was caught having an affair 34 years with many women. Woods affair was revealed in November after a minor accident outside his home in Florida.

The last tournament Woods attended was the Australian Open in Melbourne on 15 November in which he appears as the champion and collect his 82 professional titles. Less than two weeks later, Woods scandal was revealed.

“I’ve been in therapy for almost two months and I still continue the treatment. Although I am back competing, I still have much work to be done in a private matter,” said Woods. “When I finally decided to return to compete in golf, it seems that The Masters is the earliest,” Woods finished.
