[Asia Economy Reporter Nowrae Noh] Golf is difficult.

Experts explain that it is because it is a sport that "brings a dead ball to life." This is why beginner golfers find it even more challenging. However, giving up easily is not an option. Recently, Golf.com in the United States analyzed the practice methods of world-renowned instructors, professional golf tour players, and social media stars, and introduced fantastic tips for beginning players. First, let's learn how to prevent the 'biggest enemy,' the slice.

It is the 'Anti-Slice Grip.' When addressing the ball, hold each hand separately. The right hand is below, and the left hand is above. It is similar to a baseball swing. This allows the clubface to be square and naturally prevents the clubhead from opening in the hitting zone. There is a three-step routine for the perfect posture. Stand straight with your feet shoulder-width apart. Slightly bend your knees and focus on maintaining a 45-degree spine angle.

Above all, it is important to keep the clubface perpendicular just before the shot. If it closes or opens, a good shot cannot be expected. At the practice range, place an alignment stick above the ball. Make the club form a 90-degree angle with the target line and pull it toward the side where the ball is. Amateur golfers mostly lose their scores on the green. Here is how to correct the putting stroke path. Set up facing a wall and take the stroke. The putter should not touch the wall.

Long drives start with the takeaway. Pull the club back low and long. To achieve maximum speed, ample space is necessary. Direction is also important. The arm should be fully extended at impact. Insert another tee at a 45-degree angle 6 inches (15 cm) in front of the existing tee. This is for training to hit the second tee after striking the ball. Lastly, to increase head speed, tie a ribbon to the shaft. Swing strongly in the impact zone.
