If you, just like many other golfers before you, are looking for ways to improve your game as well as to lower your score, then you probably know that the best way that you can possibly improve your golf game is to find the keys to improving your golf swings, which will allow you to open the door separating you from the next level of your golf game. So do you want to know what keys are out there and how you can use them to your greatest possible level of advantage? Keep reading, as we are going to touch on three keys that will improve your golf swing right now.

- * One of the simplest and most straight forward golf swing techniques that you should try out is simply to film yourself swinging so that you can analyze the motions that you make and take. This is a truly effective method of analyzing what you are doing, and it can give you an incredible advantage over players. If you need help, ask a friend to do the filming for you. If you sit down and actually analyze your golfing abilities the way a trainer would, then this can pay off significantly in a small amount of time by allowing you to identify your own weak points, rather than having to pay an expensive trainer to tell you what your weak points are.

- * Although this should go without saying, you absolutely need to be able to concentrate yourself while you are taking a swing. Mental fitness is one of the most important keys to success. You need to train your brain to take the swing correctly and you will be able to achieve the quick results that you are looking for. You need a good golf fitness guide that is going to improve not only your physical fitness but also your mental fitness as well. If you have the right tools, then your needs will be met and your golf game will surely be improved.

- * Finally, you need to take the time to improve your stance. Making improvements in your stance can really go a long way when it comes to improving your golf swing and making sure that you do not slice the ball. If your stance is solid and sturdy, then you will not slice the ball nearly as often. You should put your shoulders up, and you should be taking care to stay ahead of the ball. Your stance should actually be about as wide as your shoulders, and your right foot should be straight to the ball with the left foot pointed slightly in the direction of the left. Film yourself if you are unsure about whether or not you are maintaining the right stance, and analyze yourself so that you can improve your game.

Your short game is the key to a good score in golf. No matter how well you can drive, if you can’t chip or wedge your ball onto the right spot on the green, you’ll never be able to improve your score. Many golfers make the mistake of focusing on putting and driving, missing out on some key lessons that will actually make both easier over the long term. Whether you are having issues with your short game, or you are looking to shave a few points off your score, this book is an essential read.

The author did a great job of making the book readable by any golfer, regardless of their skill level. If you’re a rank beginner or an old pro, you’ll be able to understand absolutely everything discussed in this book. That’s no small feat given that the game can be full of confusing terminology and euphemisms. We found the author’s style to be very enjoyable and overall, this is a quick read that contains some hard hitting advice.

The first few chapters break down how golf is scored and the five different “games” that you’ll be playing. Since most golfers look at it as three games, ie: putting, driving and chipping, these chapters deserve more than just a once over. You’ll be learning just how much your short game can impact your entire score and the way that you play golf as a whole.

Next up are chapters that discuss bump and runs, the art of pitching properly and how to handle a wedge. We loved these chapters and found them to be incredibly informative and helpful. You never really realize how much you need a good short game until you break it down like this. The tips are incredibly worthwhile and should be suitable for everyone.

The author also covers how using the right club is vital for handling each situation that comes up. The chapter on equipment was eye-opening and explained quite a lot to us. We also loved the tips and tricks section and can’t wait to give each one a try the next time we are out on the course. By far, this is one of the best books we have ever read on the short game, and it deserves a high place of honor on any golfer’s book shelf.

We highly recommend this book to anyone that needs to improve their short game. It’s a quick read, but we still managed to pick up some vital tips that we could put right to you use on the course. By far, this is one of the best books on the subject and as we mentioned earlier, it’s perfect for any golfer, regardless of their skill level. If you have golfing buddies with a birthday coming up, this would make a great gift. We also recommend it for beginners so that they get the right foundation for the rest of their game.

The Better by Saturday series of golf books is incredibly popular and thousands of golfers treat them like their bibles. While you may not actually be able to improve your game by next Saturday, you should be able to get quite a few tips that can help you become a better golfer over time. For this review, we focused on the Driving book, since this is an issue that plagues the vast majority of golfers. No matter what course you are playing on, driving accuracy is vital to a good score. So, let’s take a look at this book and see what it has to offer.

The part that we liked best about this book is that it does not rely on only one teacher. Instead, you’ll find experts that are commonly seen throughout the pages of Golf Magazine, weighing in with vital tips to help you with your drive. This provides access to some of the world’s best (and most expensive) teachers for the simple price of the book, and that right there makes the book well worth the purchase. We liked the fact that we could get many points of view on the subject and that each teacher had a slightly different method and approach to learning.

The first chapter deals with what you need to focus on before you even pick up a club. This is a great resource if you find yourself getting psyched out before you even start. You’ll be learning the essentials of grip, how to swing the right way and how to handle each hole you come across. Next up, the book moves right along to power, another vital component in any drive. You’ll be learning how to dramatically increase the power of your shot and when to scale it back.

We loved the chapter on accuracy and really felt that the tips were useful. In fact, we are able to go right out and put them to good use – and they actually worked. That right there is a big problem for many golf books, and this one passed with flying colors. Also appreciated was the chapter on strategy that deals with how to size up the entire hole from the tee and how to develop the perfect plan of attack.

The remaining chapters focus on drills that you can do anywhere to improve your driving, as well as some exercises and stretches that can benefit your entire swing. We highly recommend following them and found these to be very effective.

Overall, this is one of the best instructional golf books we’ve come across, and we were convinced to go read the rest of the series. This is an ideal book for someone who is already golfing but needs a little extra help and advice. Beginners can learn a lot, but they may not understand some of the terminology. We absolutely loved this book and feel that it would make the perfect gift for any golfer.

Although there are plenty of books running around on the mind game of golf, few that we have found are this erudite or thought provoking. The author put 25 years of research into this book and it definitely shows. If you are looking for a book that dissects why golf is so hard and how you can start breaking through the mental blocks that keep your score from being where it should be, this is a terrific read.

Too many of the books in this genre delve into pop psychology and fail to live up to their claims. We found that this book by Cranford was a refreshing break from all of that. He looks at the game and its resulting mind games in a very analytic and thoughtful way. Gone are the pop-psy terms and in their place is some advice you can really take to heart, and more importantly, put into use.

The main audience for this book is the golfer that has reached that point in their game where they just can't seem to do any better. For whatever reason, their game has plateaued and they can't seem to break through that problem and get better scores. Most of us think that it's our swing or our technique, but it actually may be all in the mind according to Cranford.

By using the techniques and advice in this book, you can approach each tee with a whole different mindset. Chances are you are going to notice some big improvements right away. Instead of dreading your time at the course you may actually start to love the game again, and whenever a book can do that, it deserves a place of high honor on any golfer's bookshelf.

We found that the advice was incredibly practical and that you didn't need a degree in psychology to understand it. By addressing each problem logically, Cranford helps you work through that issue, both on and off the course. In fact, you may want to stick a copy in your golf bag for a quick refresher on the links. It's really that good!

Although there are plenty of books with similar titles that are nothing but hype, we believe that this title was well earned. These really are breakthrough secrets that every golfer needs to know, no matter how long they have been playing or how good they are. That's probably the best part of the entire book - it's versatility. Whether you are an occasional golfer that can't get past a certain portion of your game, or you are a seasoned pro that has the occasional hang up, there is advice right here that you can put to immediate use.

We didn't have a lot of hope going into this book, given the past failures we've read, but we must say that we were pleasantly surprised. We hope that this will not be Cranford's last contribution to the golfing community - it can sure use more of him.

Even the best golfers can end up at the bottom of a sand trap every once in awhile and it pays to know how to get out of one. This is probably one of the most frustrating hazards you can run into while you’re golfing, but there are some tips that you can use that will help you keep your score intact. While it’s always best to avoid sand traps, when you do end up in one, these tips will help get you out.

1. Get the right kind of sand wedge.

There is a lot of variation in clubs, especially with different manufacturers. Ideally, you’re going to want to purchase a sand wedge that has a degree of 55 to 58 in loft. 57 or 58 is the best, but if you’re really a good player, you can get away with a 55. Simply by purchasing the right kind of sand wedge, you can conquer just about any trap. The bounce rate is also important here, and can have a big impact on where you end up on the green. Look for one that has a bounce rate on the lower end of the spectrum for greater control.

2. Correct your position.

If you are standing wrong, you’ll be putting the wedge too far underneath the ball, and the only place you’re going to go is down. It is important to open up your stance, and make sure that the club face is not closed. Work on this at home or in a practice trap until you develop the right feel. You should be able to see most of the club face when you are looking down at it from above.

3. Work on your swing.

It can be tempting to get really choppy with your swing, but this can spell disaster. Even though it is a pitch shot, you’re going to want to stay as fluid as possible. Work on bringing your club back slowly, along a straight line. The power will come when you connect with the ball, not with your backswing.

4. Learn how to snap your wrist.

We mentioned above that the point of impact is where you want to focus your power on this swing. Practice snapping your left wrist so that your hand is bent to left. Put your hands together without a club in a praying position and then snap them to the side. Add the club and make the same movement. That’s what it will feel like at the point when you are ready to hit the ball.

5. Putting it all together.

When you practice your sand trap shot, try to put all of these tips together so that it is one fluid motion. Start by working on the backswing and then add the snap at just the right moment. It can take a few tries to perfect this, but once you do you should see a big change in the way you play in the sand.

Seascape Golf Club is located in Aptos, CA

Phone: 831-688-3213

Website: http://www.seascapegc.com

Course History:

Seascape Golf Club was originally known as Rio Del Mar when it was founded in 1926. The club became an instant success, but the onset of World War II meant closure. The club was turned into a victory garden to help the war effort and once the war was over, it reopened as Seascape.

Known for the natural beauty of the surrounding land, this is a popular course that is not only fun to play but challenging as well. It is well worth the trip out, and there are few courses in this area that can come close to comparing.

What You Need to Know:

You can register your tee-time by calling the number listed above, but we do recommend checking their website for specials before you do. The pro shop here is terrific and we were surprised by the selection and quality of the merchandise. One meal at the grill and its obvious why this club is rented out so often for special events.

We recommend traditional golf attire when visiting this club, as well as the use of soft spikes.

Playing Hints:

The main challenge you'll be facing with this course are the numerous bunkers. You definitely want to avoid them at all costs, but that is easier said than done. Many a player has demolished their score after ending up in any one of these tough bunkers.

Even though the course is around 6000 yards, they've designed the holes so that they are actually quite long. We highly recommend using a cart, especially if you're not in the best of shape. The fairways are on the narrow side and most are tree lined, so accuracy is truly the key to getting a par on this course.

Our favorite hole was the thirteenth. You'll have a nice clear shot to the green, but it gets more complicated from there. The green is protected by a small lake and two bunkers, so we recommend a short second shot, to give you a good chance of getting a chip lined up for more accuracy.

Fees:

Mon-Thurs / Friday / Sat, Sun, Holidays

18 Hole - $50 / $55 / $72

9 Holes first hour of daylight - $20 / $20 / $25

Twilight 2:00pm - $31 / $31 / $41

Super Twilight 3:30pm - $23 / $23 / $33

Junior - $25 / $25 / $35 after 12:00pm

Cart Fees - Any day, fees listed are per rider

18 Holes $17

9 Holes $10

Twilight $12

How to Get There:

View Larger Map

From San Jose:

Take Highway 17 south to Santa Cruz.

Upon entering Santa Cruz take the exit for Highway 1 south, Monterey/Watsonville

Once on Highway 1, turn right onto Rio Del Mar and stay to the left when the road forks.

The left fork becomes Clubhouse Drive.

Stay on Clubhouse Drive until you see the sign for Seascape Golf Club on the right hand side.

Roddy Ranch Golf Course is Located in: Antioch, CA

Phone: 925.978.4653

Website: http://www.roddyranch.com

Course History:

This course is part of the historic 2000 acre Roddy Ranch in Antioch, CA. This is a relatively new course that opened to tremendous accolades. It's already been named one of the best value courses in the bay area and with good reason. If you're looking for a challenging game of golf that won't break the bank, look no further. This course is a little off the beaten path, so we included some directions for you below.

What You Need to Know:

Don't let the prices fool you, this is a very nice course. Everything is top notch and its on the same level as many private clubs when it comes to amenities. You can register your tee time online or by phone. Their website also has a feature to let you pick your time and a special discount, so we recommend visiting before you book.

Lessons are offered every day of the week from the PGA pros on staff. These are also priced very reasonably and there is a special tee that is devoted entirely to practice. Numerous tournaments are held at the course every year and this is a great way to get a feel for the course before you actually head out.

Although the course does not specify a special dress code, we recommend traditional golf attire and soft spikes.

Playing Hints:

The holes are pretty straightforward at first glance, but look a little closer and you'll see the combination of heavily sloped greens, nasty rough, and sandtraps make for some challenging play. By far, the two hardest holes are the sixteenth hole with its blind green (approach from the right to avoid the bunkers) and the thirteenth hole that also features a blind green surrounded by bunkers. You'll be playing into the wind on this hole for an even bigger challenge.

The last two holes will give you a chance to salvage your score, especially the par 5 on 18. Just watch out for the remaining bunkers and you should do just fine.

Course Fees:

Standard Weekday $45.00

Weekday Twilight $35.00

Weekday Super Twilight $25.00

Standard Weekend $70.00

Weekend Mid-day $55.00

Weekend Twilight $45.00

Website: http://www.playvalleyoaks.com

Course History:

This is a stunning course that is incredible to play. It is actually made up of three nine hole course and you can pick your own configuration. It's almost impossible to get bored with this course and you'll find plenty of opportunities to challenge yourself. Although the course can be difficult at times, it is not too much for a novice player to handle.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number above or they do have the option to book online. The staff here are incredibly friendly and the course is very well maintained. Although they don't specifically state that there is a dress code, it is best to err on the side of caution and wear traditional golfing attire.

The pro shop is simply the best in the area and they also offer custom club fittings. If you're new to golf or need some pointers, the pros are very helpful and the lessons are very beneficial. Numerous events are held throughout the year on the course and it has become a local favorite. It is a bit tucked away however, so we included some basic instructions on how to get there below.

Playing Hints:

Each of the three layouts will play very differently. The first, the Valley Course, is a very traditional course that has incredibly narrow fairways lined with trees. You'll really need to work on your accuracy with this one. Even though the 7^th hole is the shortest, it's also the most difficult. It's a 200 yard par 3, but you'll need to avoid the bunkers on your approach. Try to be as accurate as possible since the 45 foot green can easily demolish your score.

The Oaks Course is a great place to start if you're still working on accuracy. The fairways are a bit wider on this one and you'll have more room for error. Once again, the hardest hole is the shortest. The eighth hole is a par 3 but it may take a few times around to get that score. You'll be dealing with trees to the right and a lake to the left. Once you get past these, the sloping green is surrounded by tough bunkers.

The Lakes Course is the newest addition and offers a good balance between the other two courses. The fairways and greens have a bit of a roll to them, but they aren't too much to handle with practice.

Green Fees:

Weekdays Fees

Regular (18 holes/9 holes) $24.50/16.50

Twilight $16.50

Out of all of the mistakes you can make out on the course, a slice is probably the most common. This refers to a ball that goes to the right after you hit it, usually right into a nice stand of trees or a nearby water hazard. A slice is devastating to your game, and fixing it can be a little complicated. Here are some great tips to help you get over your slicing problem and get your score back on track.

One of the first things that many golfers try to eliminate their slice is to angle their body to the left. This is a natural compensation, and logically, you would think that it would work. However, this is a huge mistake and can actually result in slicing worse than before. Your stance may need a little work, but aiming the wrong way is not going to be very helpful.

To correct this, stand in front of your golf ball, without your club. This is an exercise that will help you get aligned properly. We’ll be adding the club in a second, but first, you need to focus on your feet and your hips. Your feet should be facing perfectly forward and should be slightly apart. As a result, your hips should also be facing the same direction.

If you notice that you’re leaning a little bit, or that your hips are not perfectly in line with your feet, bring them into line. Now, put your arms into position for your shot. If your hips move, correct them. Pretend that you are swinging your club back and again, mentally check the position of your hips. Correct them if necessary.

Repeat this until your hips are no longer pulled in the wrong direction. Once you’ve got it down, add the club back into the equation and start again. Get the feel of the right body position down until it comes absolutely naturally. This is a good exercise that you can do at home, in your backyard or even in your living room. The key is finding that “sweet spot” when your posture comes together and everything just feels right.

Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s look at some common swing issues that can exacerbate a slice. The most common problem occurs when you actually hit the ball. Instead of following through, you may pull up. This force sends the ball careening in the wrong direction.

To fix this, practice your downswing and don’t stop when you get to your golf ball. Keep the club traveling in the exact same direction for a few more inches. You’ll be using that force to literally guide the ball in the proper direction. Work on this until you have your club going perfectly straight in the right direction.

With a little practice and using these tips, you can cure even the nastiest slice and make it a lot easier to get a better score during your next round of golf.

Washoe Golf Course is located in: Reno, NV

Phone: 775-828-6640

Website: http://www.washoegolf.org

Course History:

Washoe Golf Course is a public course that is extremely friendly and fun to play. No matter what your skill level is, you'll feel right at home on this great course. It has much to offer, and the prices are truly remarkable. It has a rich history that dates back to the first World War, and it is one of the oldest courses in this area. It's nickname is the "Shoe" and it has remained incredibly popular with residents and guests since the day it first opened. If you just want to play a simple round of golf in a great environment, this the perfect course.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. This course offers lessons as well as special Ladies and Mens groups that are very popular. The pro shop is surprisingly well stocked given the overall size of the course, and you'll find pretty much everything you could ever need right there.

If you don't have your own clubs, they do offer rentals at very good rates. Overall, this is one of the most economical courses in the area that still provides that great traditional golf experience. Odette's restaurant, located on site is a legend and with good reason. You won't find better food anywhere else in this area. We really can't say enough nice things about this great course.

Playing Hints:

The front nine all play very straightforward. This isn't the most challenging of courses, but it is a great place to really work on your game. Like most courses, accuracy really helps, but this one is a little more forgiving than others. The third hole is a deceptively easy Par Three, but it will take a few times of getting to know the course to par it.

One of our favorites holes on the course is the 18^th, which is a very long par five. You'll have plenty of chances to make up any slack on your score with this hole and you've got a great chance of making a birdie, even if you're a novice.
