by A Golf Pro answered the best questions that players are too embarrassed to ask.
Dan Brown, an American golf ambassador and tour professional, shared his ideas to help beginners and experienced players to improve their game.
He said: “Beginning something new can be a little intimidating, especially with a sport like golf, which feels technical and full of unwritten rules.
“Even if you like a relaxed round with friends but you want to improve, it can be embarrassing to ask these basic questions – whether for a coach or a companion.
“The beauty of golf is that it is a sport where you always learn.
“By nailing the basics from the start, you will see a great improvement in your game and start beat your friends in no time.”
“How can I start playing golf?”
Brown suggests group lessons as a great way to learn the basics without feeling outdated.
He also recommends heading to a practice with a friend, borrowing certain clubs and focusing on the profit of experience.
“Do I need a special golf club if I’m left-wing?”
Brown confirms that left -handed golfers will need clubs designed specifically for them.
He advises to try the clubs on the left and on the right to see what feels most comfortable.
“How to keep a golf club?”
Brown explains that the handle is the “foundation” of the swing.
He advises right -handed golfers to start by placing their left hand on the club, ensuring that the handle rests in the fingers, not on the palm.
The right hand must then cover the left, the thumb flowing along the handle with the left hand.
For left -handed golfers, this process should be reversed.
“How long does it take to play 9 golf laps?”
Brown believes that it generally takes about two hours, but advises not to rush, because golf is as much to enjoy the experience as for improvement.
He said, “Take the time to practice your swing, improve your short game and focus on strategy rather than speed.
“With experience, you will then find yourself playing a little faster.”
“How can I take a divot in golf?”
Brown explains that taking a divot does not consist in breaking the ground, but hitting the ball proper first, just before reaching the lowest point of the swing.
He said, “Think about it as if you slightly rub the grass, making sure you hit the ball and not just the lawn.
“In this way, you will have more control and a smoother blow.”
“How to break 100 in golf?”
Brown advises to focus on consistency rather than trying to hit the stronger ball.
He underlines the importance of the short game, which suggests that the practice of scales, implementation and corner shots can lead to “major improvements” of the overall score.
