Golf Gear is something you would find available aplenty in the marketplace. In such a scenario, you should choose a golf gear that suits your game style. This will allow you to participate in a game of golf without ever feeling your gear is a burden.

Thinking of buying a golf gear! You should ideally look at buying a golf club first. Coming to think of it, you would be offered two options in golf clubs when you decide to buy them. The first option for you is the wooden clubs. With a wooden club at your disposal, you could hit the ball long distances. On the other hand, you would also find iron clubs that are primarily used for hitting the ball short distances. In your golf bag, you can add up to 14 golf clubs. Just so you know, nowadays a lot of people have started using hybrid clubs, which have a combination of wood and iron. These golf clubs could be used as a 2-in-1 to hit the ball long as well as short distances.

Shoes are another vital cog of a golfing equipment. Remember, golf is an outdoor sport, and more often than not, you could find yourself splashing against water when it rains. For starters, you would be playing in the greens, so the probability of your feet getting stuck is more. Buy shoes that are waterproof. You could decide on buying light shoes with spikes at the sole of the shoe. This will allow you to negotiate the wet underfoot conditions.

Who would not want to play Golf under the sun? These are the ideal conditions for you to play golf. With that being said, you could easily start complaining of sun burns if you do not go in with the right kind of apparel. Wear cotton trousers and preferably a cotton shirt. Arm yourselves with a cap to protect from the harsh sun beating down on your head. On some occasions where you think the sun is really harsh, you could get yourself some UV cream. Be prepared for the rainy days, because it can get soggy and unpleasant for you. Take some umbrellas and raincoats with you to the golf course.

Golf swing basics are the key to improvement for most golfers. All amateur golfers (and even some professionals) attempt to replicate the “perfect” basic golf swing (think Tiger Woods on a good day). Doing this will improve their game dramatically – helping them to make effortless powerful golf shots. The problem is that there is no such thing as a generic perfect golf swing. Each player has their own, individual, perfect swing.

You see, each golfers’ body is different. Some are taller or shorter, more or less muscular, etc. So when it comes to golf swing basics we need to tailor the swing to the individual. Now, obviously just understanding the basics is not enough. You also need to practice your individual swing in order to achieve the results you desire.

Some golfers are fine hitting their irons, but cannot hit their driver well at all. For others it is the reverse. And for many golfers, especially those that play mainly on weekends – they have trouble hitting both irons and drivers. The most frequent result is a nasty slice or loss of power. Most of us have our standard blame list – bad weather, bad course, bad equipment.

For many people the real problem is that they have gotten away from golf swing basics. They have added complexity to their swing and thus made it much worse. By keeping the swing simple you will become more consistent and have much better results.

Just follow and practice these five basic golf swing fundamental to improve your mechanics and your overall golf game:

1. Alignment is the most important factor in hitting the ball square. The fundamental idea behind a good swing is to hit the ball dead center. This means that your setup to the ball is the most important element of the basic golf swing.
2. Be sure that your stance is comfortable and it will allow your body to rotate effortlessly. You can think of your spine as an axis around which your body will rotate. Find your center of gravity by sticking your backside out (yes it sounds strange, but really does work).
3. You must keep your eyes on the ball. This is an absolute essential to a proper golf swing, but is probably the most often ignored element. Yes, this one should be common sense. After all you need to see the ball in order to hit it. Looking up too soon in order to see where your ball went, will usually result in your ball going nowhere!
4. You need to take a different approach when it comes to your woods and irons. For your woods think “sweep”. Woods are designed to sweep the ball off the tee. However, for your irons think about “pinch”, as irons are made to pinch the ball off the ground.
5. Humming a tune can help your focus and also helps with your overall rhythm. Rhythm is an important aspect in striking the ball squarely and evenly. Personally, I like to hum Motown tunes, but anything will probably work.

So, when it comes to your golf swing basics remember the K.I.S.S. rule. The simpler your swing is the easier it is to maintain consistency and improve your swing over time.
