There are a lot of resources to help you improve your golf game, but how do you decide what is reliable information? We break down some key areas that you can use to learn how to play better golf, improve ball striking and reduce your handicap, from practicing on the driving range, to watching golf events, to reading materials and video tips.
The best part about all of these tips is you don’t have to take expensive lessons to improve your golf game!
Driving Range/Practice Green Tip: Before you decide where to practice, take a second to scan the range and watch for a good golfer, then try setting up near them. If you’re hitting next to someone with good rhythm and tempo, has good contact, you’re going to pick up a few things without even having a conversation.

Live Events: it doesn’t matter if it’s hitting a golf ball, making food, racing a car, whatever the skill may be, watching someone who is good at their craft can be very beneficial.
