Using the driving range is a great way to improve your golf game. That's kind of a no-brainer but driving ranges are not perfect. This free golf tip can help you get more bang for your buck with range time.

A lot of golf courses are adding themselves to the list that includes GPS coordinates. Simply look up the course you want to play and upload the coordinates into the unit. This gives the golfer advantages that were never available in years past. Knowing how far it is to the green from where you are on the course will take many strokes off the score card and now GPS units for golfers are inexpensive and come in small sizes that are easy to carry. Not having a GPS unit puts you at a serious disadvantage to those who do.

Herein lies the problem …

When at the driving range, you look at the marks which are typically flags or similar targets. These flags not only give you a target to aim at to judge the straightness (or not) of your practice shots but are also yardage marks. Just like the tee box at the golf course, driving ranges need to move their tee areas to allow grass to grow back after we patrons (read, duffers) plow the ground like we were planting the back forty.

I have been to the range at times and have seen the tee boxes as much as twenty yards difference as the week before.

How are you expected to know how far you are hitting each club? Well, that's a good question. Since we are always trying, and hopefully succeeding, to improve our swing, how far you hit each iron can change drastically. To successfully lower your average score you need to keep tabs on your improvement because if the new technique you have been working on causes a ten yard distance gain, you will want a different club when you are on the course and your new GPS unit says it is 163 yards to the pin.

A wise thing to do would be to purchase a range finder that can be used on the driving range as well as courses that do not yet have GPS coordinates mapped. You will no longer be in the dark as to yardage marks on the driving range once you have a quality range finder that takes all the guess work out of the equation. Knowing is half the battle because when you start guessing, you lose confidence and when you lose confidence, the score card reflects it.

Give yourself as many advantages as you can and you will enjoy, and find golf more relaxing than ever before. Buy a range finder and a GPS and you will have two powerful tools to improve your golf game.

Your friends or coworkers might be tormenting you to take the time and learn how to play golf or maybe it's just something you've always wanted to learn. No matter what the reason is, before you rush off to your local pro golf store and buy the fanciest looking clubs, you should slow down and take the time to understand the basics.

Your safety as well as that of others will be the most important thing to consider. Many people do not think of golf as a dangerous sport, since it does not appear to be a contact sports. However, there are still safety issues that must be considered at all times while playing. You must be aware of where all players are at all times. If someone steps in front of your playing space, while the ball is in motion, make sure to yell "Fore" so they are aware that the ball is coming their way way and they can quickly stepped out of arms way.

Golf can be played on both public and private golf courses. If you are planning on a public course, always be mindful of the rules that the course has laid out for players. The main concept of golf is to make your ball land in the hole with as few swings of your golf club as possible. Each person their number of swings will be recorded as they play and the player who has the few swings at the end of the game will be announced as the winner.

Before you begin playing, consider checking out a golf course and take the time to try out your new clubs, so you will have a feel for it before it. There are various different techniques available to hold your golf club properly. However, some of the most popular include the interlocking grip, the overlapping grip and the baseball grip. If one does not feel right to you, keep trying until you find one that works for you.

If you're not ready to face a real golf course yet, you might want to consider purchasing golf training software, which can offer you educational information regarding startingner basics. You will quickly begin to feel that you are started to improve. You might also want to consider software that will point out mistakes you make as you play and offer suggestions on how to correct and improve your game.

When it comes time to purchase your clubs it's a good idea to consider going to a store that specializes in sports equipment as they are usually very knowledgeable about sports, and how equipment is used.

Because you are a beginner, do not be afraid to ask other players for help and take their tips and advice to heart. There are a number of different ways how you can approach playing this game, but it is best you learn the basics first before diving into the more experience and difficult techniques.
