If you’re a new golfer then you’re probably keen to know how to get the golf ball up in the air. Well, in this article I’m going to give you three golf tips to help you get some nice air on your golf shots.

Golf Air Tip # 1: To make the ball go up you must hit down.This sounds strange to new golfers, but it’s true. To make the golf ball go up you need to hit down on the golf ball. Why? Because it’s the downward motion that creates backspin and backspin is what makes the ball get up in the air. However, this is more true when you’re hitting your irons and woods. With your driver you should have more of a sweeping motion. But every other club (apart from you putter) should be swung down into the back of the ball.

You should contact the ball first and then take a divot after you hit the golf ball (with the exception of playing bunker shots, where you should hit the sand first). So don’t try to lift the ball up in the air. Instead, hit down on the ball to make it go up. A good way to practice this is to get a 7-iron and hit shots from old divots. By doing this it will force you to hit down on the back of the ball.

Golf Air Tip # 2: Use the right golf club. If you’re trying to hit a high shot from 150 yards and you are using a 4-iron then chances are that you’ll hit a low shot that will run a lot. From this distance most good golfers would use a 7-8 iron. The more loft on the golf club the higher your shots will go. So if you’re after more golf air then use higher lofted clubs.

Golf Air Tip # 3: Improve your golf swing. The best golfers in the world are always looking to improve their golf swings to make them simpler and more repeatable. You should do the same thing if you want to improve. You probably don’t have the time they have to devote to the sport, but nevertheless you should still try to improve your swing.

When you do this you should look to improve your setup first. Because your setup has a huge effect on your golf shots. For example, if you’re finding it hard to get the golf ball up in the air then you should check your ball position. If you have the ball positioned too far back in your stance then you will find it very hard to get much golf air. You should have the ball positioned off your left heel for almost every shot.

It’s simple things like this in your setup and swing that will make a big difference in your ball striking.

So there you go. That’s 3 things you should do to help you get more golf air. Try them out and I’m sure you’ll find they help you to get some more golf air.

For many years, one of the things I loved doing was watching the final day of golf tournaments on TV. As the day begins sometimes 8 or 9 players have a chance to win, but by the time they are playing the final holes this number has shrunk to 2 or 3.

The fascinating thing for me was that on this day the level of individual skill was not the most important factor – these golfers are already highly skilled – but the event would be won by the player who could combine this with mental strength, and who could maintain their focus, keep calm and allow themselves to play their natural game.

I would watch the faces of these players and at some point it would be possible to predict who would fall by the way, and who would have the inner qualities to win.

When I learned to meditate I began to experience the "zone" that top sportspeople operate from for myself. I found sporting activities much more enjoyable and I became more effective as I used my meditation techniques.

A few years ago I felt attracted to play golf, something I had not done since I was a teenager (a long time ago!), And found that it was a great opportunity to practice meditation with my eyes open.

When playing golf I found that what was going on in my head would have a huge impact on how well or badly I played. For example, I may play a bad shot (and I've had plenty of those!) And put more pressure on myself to play the next one well – my body would become tense and my mind would have told me all the things I had to do to avoid screwing up again! The result? You've guessed it – another bad shot. And so the cycle continues. (An interesting thing to note is that the lakes in most golf courses contain not only stray golf balls but the occasional club thrown in by frustrated golfers!)

So, to have an easy and effective meditation technique was a lifesaver and has helped me improve and, very importantly, enjoy my game, exactly as it is.
