Golf, commonly known as small white ball, is an outdoor sport. Individual or team players hit the ball into the hole of the green with different golf clubs. Most competitions are 18 holes, and the one with the least number of strokes wins. Let's take a look at the indispensable skills of playing golf. Let's have a look!

First, the basic knowledge of golf clubs

Wooden poles: The former "wooden poles" were of course made of wood (the origin of the name), and now there are various materials. Generally speaking, the volume of wood is slightly larger than other clubs. Wood is a typical long-distance club, which means that its distance is more important than accuracy. The service club is usually a "1" wooden club, and the face angle is roughly between 8 degrees and 12 degrees (the face angle of 0 degrees means perpendicular to the ground). Iron: Iron was originally made of iron, but now it is mostly made of steel. Iron is smaller than wood and is usually considered as a delicate club. Accuracy is more important than distance in use.

The general number represents the face angle of the club. The lower the number, the lower the face angle and the longer the club. The lower the face, the longer and farther the club is, but the lower the accuracy. This also means that the smaller the number, the harder it is to hit the club.

Metal rod: The metal rod head coated by casting is quite popular, mainly because the specific gravity of the periphery is controlled extra (this is not the original design intention, but the casting process of the product makes the weight distribution more moderate). In order to avoid being overweight, stainless steel club heads are cast into hollow parts, and the hollow parts are usually filled with polyurethane to reduce noise. Many people have noticed that swinging with the head of a metal wooden pole can increase the distance whether it hits the center or not.

Graphite: Materials commonly used in shafts are also often used to make graphite club heads. There are some subtle differences in the manufacturing process between the two. Graphite prepreg is mixed with ABS plastic and injected into the mold of the club head. In the second version, prepreg based on epoxy resin is manufactured, and then the mixture is compressed into a mold. The weight of graphite club heads is the same as that of wooden and metal club heads, but they are usually larger than ordinary club heads. This can increase the size of the "sweet spot". However, the test results can't prove that the graphite club head swings better or farther than other materials.

Second, how to play golf?

How to play golf: basic posture

Good standing posture will improve the rationality of swing to a certain extent. A good standing posture is not only graceful but also well balanced. If you can't keep your body in a stable state when preparing for the action, then of course the whole swing action can't be played stably.

Many golfers will have the problem that their chin is close to their chest in the initial posture, which will hinder the rotation of their shoulders and cause unnecessary body movements during the swing. The chin should be kept at a certain height to avoid restricting the rotation of their left shoulder during the swing.

(1) Before standing, look at the target direction from the back of the ball, find a mark on the target line, and determine the connecting line between the ball and the mark, which is the flying direction of the ball.

② Determine the positional relationship between the ball and the foot, and draw a line perpendicular to the flying direction of the ball from the position of the ball. Under normal circumstances, the left foot is close to the line.

(3) Stand with your feet together across the line, with your left toe slightly outward and your left heel close to the line. Feet are shoulder width apart, which helps to maintain balance and stability during the swing. At the same time, the toes are slightly spread out, which is helpful for the movement of the crotch.

④ The center of gravity moves to the left foot, and according to the club used, the right foot steps to the right appropriately, that is, the standing action is completed. As for the width of standing posture and the distance from the ball, it is not fixed, but varies with the player's physical condition and the club used.

How to play golf: the grip of the club

① Overlapping grip method

This grip is most commonly used because it can better maintain the sense of unity of both hands and is convenient to control the balance of power between the left and right hands. Generally, people with big palms, long fingers and great strength can use this grip.

② natural grip method

Also known as the baseball grip, as the name implies, the left and right hands hold the club with ten fingers separately like a baseball bat, and the little finger of the right hand is attached to the index finger of the left hand.

③ Interlocking grip

In the interlocking grip, the little finger of the right hand does not overlap the gap between the left index finger and the middle finger, but is inserted between the left index finger and the middle finger, and the index finger is locked by a hook.

How to play golf: how to aim at the ball

① Relax, concentrate, take a deep breath once or twice, and hold the pole.

(2) According to the club used, determine the distance between the ball and the foot, and gently step on the foot to adjust the posture to keep the feet stable.

(3) Bend your elbow, lift the club forward, swing your hands to the right, and check the grip of the middle finger and ring finger of your right hand. Turn left again and check the grip of middle finger, ring finger and little finger.

(4) Put down the two arms and extend them, so that the club head is located right behind the ball, the club face faces the flying direction of the ball, and the bottom of the club head touches the ground lightly.

⑤ Slightly bend your arms and spike, lean forward slightly, keep your head and neck upright and relax, and keep your eyes on the ball.

⑥ Gently shake the club head. In order to make the swing more smooth, gently swing the club head left and right before starting the swing, which is beneficial to relax the tension of the whole body muscles and concentrate.

How to play golf: swing hard

The whole content of the swing action includes back swing or back swing-up swing-swing apex-hem-impact take-homeopathic action-ending action.

All throwing movements have a common feature, that is, transforming strength into speed through circular motion. In order to achieve the maximum speed, apply the big muscles of the body (leg muscles, abdominal muscles and back muscles) to exert force, while the small muscles (arms and wrists) relax and remain passive.

① The center of gravity moves to the left foot first, and then turns left quickly by the strength of the legs and waist, which drives the shoulders to rotate quickly, and then drives the arms and clubs to accelerate. In this way, the acceleration of several stages makes the club head pass through the hitting area at lightning speed and fly a certain distance after hitting the ball. If the arm and wrist actively exert force, it is impossible to obtain the speed of the club head at all, and the direction is easy to deviate.

(2) Beginners can't accurately master the adult's half-swing hitting skills. During training, they should keep the swing low, so that the backswing can have more opportunities to give full play. The hand holding the swing should be higher than the shoulder and the back should be aimed at the target.

③ When the swing reaches its peak, the teenager's body center of gravity should be on his right foot, and his hips and shoulders should turn to the right.

(4) After the swing is completed, pause and start the next swing, and we must develop the concept of rhythm.

⑤ When swinging down, you need to shift your body's center of gravity from your right leg to your left leg. This process needs to be driven by turning your hips and pointing to the target.

⑥ The staff should face the target, the center of gravity of the teenager should stay on his left leg, and his hands should be at the same height as his left ear.

1 1 Skills you must know when playing golf

1, center of gravity offset (center of gravity)

If you want to get the farthest distance and the consistency of hitting the ball, you must have a correct center of gravity shift. Imagine a wooden pole inserted vertically on the ground where the ball is still.

You should reach the goal that your shoulders are behind the ball and the wooden pole when lifting the pole. Of course, your hips can't swing. This can ensure the correct posture of the back swing. When serving, the right shoulder moves to the other side of the ball and passes through this imaginary wooden pole.

When you can do this correctly, you can not only turn your shoulders fully, but also shift your center of gravity well.

2. Learn from baseball players (shift of focus)

A good swing must rely on the positive shift of the center of gravity. You must be aggressive, but you must control it.

Some people's right foot is too stiff to complete a complete shift of center of gravity, which leads to many typical mistakes that should not happen. Try to position the ball, stand in the normal aiming position, and then pull your left foot back and lift it up so that your feet are 6 inches apart. Using a normal backward swing, when you start to swing down, take a step forward with your left foot as if you were a "home run" pitcher.

In order to hit the ball steadily, you need to slow down your swing a little.

3, increase the strength of the forearm (forearm and wrist)

To play well, the strength of the left wrist and forearm is also crucial. Usually, our left wrist is relaxed at the moment of hitting the ball, and it is controlled by our right arm, resulting in heading, short distance or left stroke.

You can change this situation through this kind of intensive training: hold the club with the middle finger, ring finger and little finger of your left hand, straighten your arm and point forward, so that the club is parallel to the ground, then tilt the club upward with the strength of your wrist and return to its original state. This is repeated 10- 12 times. Take this as a group and repeat it three times. In this training, you can't bend your arms, which can strengthen the "memory" of your muscles.

4. Stretching is the key to determine the distance (swing)

In order to increase the distance, both hands must be released correctly in the swing.

Practice your short swing. When your hand is waist-high with the club, you feel that you are shaking hands with others, and your thumb points to the sky. Swing down until you serve and keep your hand in this position (thumb up). This technique can ensure the correct posture.

5. Spinning ball (putter) on the green

The rugged green is very challenging because the ball will turn here. In this case, most people want the ball to stop on the side higher than the hole cup, not on the lower side.

If a ball turns near the hole cup, common sense tells us that when the ball is above the hole cup, gravity will pull the ball to roll, while when the ball is below the hole cup, gravity will hinder the ball from rolling.

It's simple-you need to pay attention to the high side, not the low side, so you may be able to push more balls.

6. Practice (swing) with the ball ladder

A steady and powerful swing usually has one thing in common-there will be a stretch after hitting the ball. The practice method to achieve this goal is to insert a ball ladder 8 inches in front of the ball. When you hit the ball, you should not only hit the ball, but also push down the ball ladder. This can train you to swing "through" the ball instead of hitting it.

7. Swing the ball with your whole body (swing)

Golf is not a wrist game. A powerful swing must be done with large muscles in the thigh and trunk. The most common mistake many amateurs make is to hit the ball with only their arms and wrists.

In some occasional cases, this may also achieve good results, but in order to ensure consistency and gain greater strength, we should consider the whole body, not a certain part.

8. Imagine a gun rake (push rod) behind the hole cup.

If you are not careful, the three-step push will also interfere with you. At this time, you'd better imagine a gun rake behind the hole cup. This will encourage you to push the ball into the hole quickly and smoothly, and ensure that the path of the club face points to the target.

9. Keep your eyes on the coin (putter)

The putter was frustrated? Here is a simple practice method that can reduce the chance of making mistakes. Put the ball on the coin and concentrate on the coin during the whole swing.

In order to avoid turning your eyes to the ball after you push it, especially the short push, you just need to look at the coin. If you turn your eyes to the ball, your head and shoulders will follow you, and you will not be able to keep your balance.

10, "explode" some sand (bunker ball)

The next time you are trapped in a bunker, don't be afraid to raise a lot of sand, which is exactly what you need. Swing from the bottom of the ball to the green. Open the club face clockwise and aim slightly to the left. Throw some sand at the target and the ball will fly in this direction.

1 1. Use the club face as a mirror (bunker ball)

A key to getting out of the bunker dilemma is to keep the club face open. If you close the club face, you will hit the ball very low, or you may plunge the club head deep into the sand.

Here is a trick to avoid this situation: imagine that the club face is a mirror, and you are ready to see your shadow on the club face after hitting the ball. This can ensure that the club head is flush with your eyes after your swing, and also ensure that the club face is open during the whole swing.

Fourth, matters needing attention in playing golf

1, be sure to pay attention to lightning in rainy days.

Recently, it has been raining continuously in Guangdong, and it often rains nonstop, but many football idiots can still be seen swinging in the rain on the court. But please don't forget the danger of lightning in rainy days!

When the interval between lightning and thunder is 30 seconds, please leave the golf cart, bag and club immediately, return indoors or go to the nearest protective booth; Try to walk alone and don't touch other people nearby; Do not stay or pass through exposed places, such as mounds, away from trees, fences and flagpoles. Please stay away from trees, fences and flagpoles when the thunder and lightning interval is 5 seconds, and get down quickly. If possible, try to choose a low-lying place, put your feet together, tuck your knees in your hands and keep your head down. Don't touch other people nearby.

It is suggested that it is best not to play ball in rainy days. Safety first!

Step 2 pay attention to safety

Safety is so important in golf that rules of golf and etiquette put it at the top of the opening ceremony. If players don't know enough about the hardness of golf balls and clubs, the stadium will become a dangerous place. Therefore, players should attach great importance to it, such as not hitting the ball in other people's places or practicing the empty swing, because the hit ball or inadvertently touching rocks, branches and turf may hit others. Besides, it is also impolite behavior. Be careful not to swing when someone walks by, and don't walk by when others are swinging.

Step 3 keep it secret

It is very important to keep the golf course quiet. Players need to concentrate when playing, and any noise may affect the quality of hitting the ball. So be sure to keep your voice down when talking on the court. Even if your partner doesn't mind, you should take care of the needs of other groups of guests nearby. Besides, don't run on the court. Running around the court will distract and upset other players and damage the turf. So walk as lightly as possible when necessary.

Playing golf requires high concentration. Don't run and talk loudly at will. Any noise will affect the hitting quality. Therefore, when playing golf, we should pay attention to golf etiquette. You need to respect each other on the court and not interfere with each other's playing, so that you can fully enjoy playing golf.

4, ears stand up: pay attention to "Fore"-a reminder to watch the ball.

When the player hits the ball more than expected, or the flying direction of the small white ball deviates, and hits a right curve ball or a left curve ball and goes straight to the next fairway, it is necessary to shout out "Fore" to remind the players in the landing zone to pay attention to safety. On the contrary, if you hear a "Fore" pointing to your area on the fairway, don't stand there and look straight. In that case, you may become the target of the little white ball. What you should do is to cover yourself as much as possible, such as crouching behind a bag, hiding behind a tree or a cart, and trying to cover your head with your arms.

Remind players who hit the ball to pay attention to whether their ball exceeds expectations and remind other players to pay attention; And other players should also keep their ears open when playing, and pay attention to the "Fore" reminder!

5. Let the prepared players play first.

If you don't participate in competitions or other formal occasions, you can let the prepared players play first every time you hit the ball. That is to say, even if the ball of the same player is not the one farthest from the hole, as long as he or she is ready to hit the ball, he or she can hit the ball first. The premise is to reach an understanding with the players in the same group in advance, indicating that the game will play "prepared golf", so that your partner will not think that you don't know the rules, but will feel your gentlemanly demeanor.

Letting the prepared players play first helps to speed up the game, but before hitting the ball, you must make sure that everyone in the same group knows that you are going to hit the ball, and you also know where others are at that time, because you don't want the ball to hit anyone present, and of course you don't want the players in the same group to swing at the same time.

6. Although the cart is slow, it is also dangerous.

Golf cart is the ultimate indispensable means of transportation. Although the speed is not fast, it is easy to cause security risks, and it still needs great concern and attention from golfers.
