Where could you find the 2008 USGA Golf Rule Book. Could you find it at a book store like Borders or Barnes and Noble. Or do you have to go to a sports store like Dick's. After speaking to others on the web, I found the answer.
Trying to improve the swing of your driver but you're not 100% where to start? You need to learn a few basic drills and exercises to develop the right skills to take your driver golf swing to the next level. While practice is not as fun as playing a round of golf, but it is the where you need to put your time in to play a good game and shave strokes off of your handicap.
What are golf drills?
A golf drill is simply a series of exercises that are isolated to develop one particular attribute to your game. While a drill might feel awkward or out of place it is only a drill, it is not how you would play the game, but it is required to perfect particular parts of your technique, and your driver golf swing is a good place to start to improve.
The Easy Driver Drill
This is probably the most enjoyable driver drill. Head out to the driving range, grab a bucket of balls and start swinging with the intention of hitting the 150 yard flag. This drill will help you improve in a short period of time, remember that your driver is about accuracy and quality, although you might be able to drive a ball 200 yards but it slices would not you be better off with 150 yard drive with 10-20 yards of roll but be in play?
The Hip Turn Drill
This is one drill that more people really should pay attention to. The drill is designed to work on developing hip alignment and body movement through the swing.
Stand above the ball with your body square and swing your driver but with only one hand/arm. This will force you to develop hip rotation and bring more power and weight transfer into your swing which is where the power and distance will come from.
Give no Quarter Drill
The last drill we'll mention is one that many people think will be simple. It is goal is to develop balance in the golfer, simply place a quarter on your golf shoe and go trough your swing technique. The goal is to not have the quarter fall off your shoe, if it does you're experiencing to much foot movement. This is a symptom of bad balance through your driver golf swing if you have trouble keeping the quarter balanced.
For some it will be easier if you already have good balance. If you do have difficult stop and practice this drill until you develop the balance to be able to swing and not have the quarter fall off.
Drills aren't the same as the game itself but they are a must to drop your handicap and improve your score each round. If you invest the time in drills and practice you'll be repaid multiple times over as you watch your score drop round after round.
The golf swing, which from start to finish, takes less than .5 of a second, is very difficult to observe closely without the use of golf instruction DVD or tape to slow down or stop the swing for analysis.
Your problems with your swing may only really be one glaring fundamental error which throws your entire swing out of kilter with disastrous knock on consequences.
But the ability of the teacher to slow down and stop a swing sequence and point out the mistake that a pupil is making is invaluable. And the added benefit is that the instructor can show the student in graphic detail precisely where he is going wrong.
Many amateur golfers can have a lot of good things going on in their swing and on many occasions it is only necessary to pinpoint the one area, whether takeaway or top of backswing etc., that needs to be addressed.
Without the golf instruction DVD you can spend an awful long time correcting what you may feel to be a problem area when in fact you are addressing the wrong area.
It is this ability to pinpoint precisely which area of the swing needs correcting that is the great benefit of golf DVD analysis.
And an added feature is that some teachers now have the ability to superimpose your swing on a DVD or video of a tour professionals swing.
This can be very instructive if you are an overweight 55 year old who plays once a week when you see your swing superimposed on the images of Tiger Woods!
