Keep your clubs clean

- Follow through
Continue your swing until the end. This will help you maintain your balance and generate more power.
- Don't get discouraged
Golf is challenging but you shouldn't let one bad shot or a bad game get you down. Even professional golfers can make mistakes. Focus on your progress.
- Keep your head down
It's tempting to look up and watch your ball as soon as you hit it, but this can cause your swing to be inconsistent. Keep your head down and your eyes on the ball until after you've made contact.
- Stay hydrated
Golf can be an physically demanding game, especially when it's hot. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout your round.
- Visualize Your Shot
Before you take your swing, visualize the shot you want to make. Imagine the ball flying in the air and landing precisely where you want. This will help keep you confident and focused during your swing.
- Enjoy the game at your own pace
Avoid rushing through the round. Play at a pace which suits you.
- Use your hips
Your hips will play an important role in your swing. To generate more power and range, practice rotating your hips during your swing.
- Practice with a purpose
Instead of just hitting balls at the driving range, practice with a specific goal in mind. Practice improving one aspect, like your grip or posture, of your swing each time.
- Relax your grip
A tighter grip can result in tension and a less fluid swing. Your club will be easier to control if your grip is relaxed.
By using these tips, you can improve the quality of your golf game and your ability to swing. Keep practicing and being patient will yield results.

What is a Bogey?
A bogey is a goal for golfers. It is not an actual part of the game. However, it can be used to keep track of scores. The hole goes to the player who is closest to the number.
Jock HUTCHISON, the first professional player from Scotland, invented the concept of a “bogey”. The idea was born out of his playing at home.
He wanted to keep track how he was doing, so he wrote a number on paper and stuck it up to his bed. This became the "Hutchy Bogey."
How is the game of golf scored?
The scorecard has four sections: Stroke, Stroke Play and Par 3. Each category is further broken down into strokes. A player must complete 18 holes (Par 72) to reach par.
The lowest score wins.
How does a golfer score points?
Points are awarded according to how well a competitor performs in a competition. There are many different ways that points can be scored in golf. For example, a player could win a tournament outright by scoring more than anyone else. Alternatively, a player might finish second place in a tournament and receive half the prize money that was won by the winner. Also, placing third through tenth in a tournament earns you points. These points are also known as "strokes".
Apart from these official competitions there are many other events that award points for the best performers. Sometimes, bonus points may be awarded to players who have performed well at an event in the past.

How To
How to get the perfect Bunker Shot
A bunker shot is a type golf shot that you aim at a certain spot on the hole (the green) to ensure your ball does not bounce off the surface. This is done by taking advantage if the green slopes. The goal is to direct the ball as far as possible towards hole.
The best way to reach your target point when playing golf is to find the best line. Consider factors like how far you are from your target, the terrain, whether the ball should bounce off the ground, or fly straight, as well as weather conditions.
Understanding the laws of physics is essential to executing a flawless bunker shot. To start, determine whether your bunker shot is going uphill or lower. If you're looking uphill, you will need to use a drawing tool. If you're facing downhill, you'll need to swing with a fade. Next, determine how fast your body needs to move to stop the ball bouncing off of the green. You can do this by measuring the angle between the ball and the direction you're traveling. You will also need to determine the size of the bunker that you are aiming for.
Once you've figured these things out, you can start swinging. Just like any other shot, you should be able to swing the ball hard enough that it passes the club head's face but slow enough to prevent it from bouncing off of the green. You can start your approach once you have found the right speed, trajectory and direction. Slowly approach the ball, until you can clearly see the landing zone. Then, take one last look at the ball before releasing it. You should have a perfect bunker shot if everything goes according to plan.
