Tips for a left-hander golfing right handed? (Plus any golfing tips/info for a newbie would be appreciated)?

mar00n asked:


Tomorrow at noon i have a golfing lesson that my grandpa is taking me to. The only problem is that they have no left handed drivers and i swing left handed. I’m taking the lesson anyway but, obviously, i’ll have to swing right handed. Anyway, does anybody have any tips for me? Or really just any golfing tips or info at all so i don’t look like a complete moron tomorrow?

By the way, I’m not experienced golfing left handed at all whatsoever either, just some putting, and i only know i’m left handed because i’m a big baseball player and from the little putting (and mini golf back home haha).

P.S. I’m pretty ambidextrious which i’m hoping will help a little. I write and throw right handed as my right hand is my dominant hand.

Thank you!

How do I use legs in golf swing, can anyone help me?

K Shinn asked:


I am an above average golfer in my opinion and have a 10.4 handicap with an average drive of 240 yards with a draw, and I am always attempting to improve my golf swing whether it is through magazines, reading on-line, or watching television. The main thing I notice is that golfers are always talking about generating power through legs and hips. Whenever I attempt to use more legs and hips I either move forward and hit off the heel, or get a major slice. My current swing I just keep a large majority of weight on my back foot for as long as I possibly can. I know that this can result in duck hooks, but I only get about one of these at most a round. Please offer any advise or drills so I can figure out how to use more hips and legs.

How can I determine what length golf club I should use?

charliew77 asked:


I’m a tall guy (6′2″), and I’ve recently taken up golf. I borrow a friend’s set, but he’s shorter than I am, and I have to crouch pretty low in order to make contact with the ball when I swing. Needless to say, that’s not comfortable, and I’ll never improve my game if I keep playing that way.

I want to buy my own set, but first I need to know what to look for in order to get a set that “fits”. Any tips?
All of the clubs are too short.

Anybody have some golfing tips?

Brandon asked:


Well, I tried golf out for my first or second time in my life. It was catastrophic. I hit the ball too high every time. It would roll on the ground for about 50 yards and that’s how I get my distance… How do I swing a bit lower? What are some things to improve my accuracy? I fail at hitting the ball with every club possible. Driver, 4-9 Irons, Pitching Wedge.

Golf Ball does to high and no distance?

Ozzie asked:


I’m a beginner golfer and really don’t want to take lessons at this time but would like some tips. I have been practicing golf swing with medicus and it seems to have really helped with my tempo and swing plane. I’m making good contact but now I face an odd problem. When I hit the call it usually goes to high and not have any distance. I’m hitting a 5i about 115 yards. It’s nice and straight but extermly high, the thing looks pretty but it’s a 5i, I should be hitting that far with a pw. The same thing happens with my woods, if I hit a 5 wood it may go 100 yards and extermly high. How do I lower my trajectory some and get little more distance. If I could find a way to add about 20 yards to each club I think I would be happy. Could wrist hinge be the problem? I tried different ball positions and tend to make better contact with the ball back in the stance. Oh and also same thing happens weather it’s off the tee or if I just hit off the ground.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

Where exactly am I supposed to get distance from my golf swing?

Showstoppa asked:


I know that it’s not power from my arms. I know it has to do with swing speed. Where is the speed supposed to be coming from? I am 5′8″ 147 lbs. My friend is 5′10″ 120 lbs. and drives the ball 280 yards or so. I can’t get it passed 170. Please help. Where is the distance supposed to come from at the point of impact with the ball?
And I will be taking lessons soon, I just wanted to try to get this down pat. Thanks.
