How to improve your golf swing

 

Golf can be quite an engaging activity, and proof of this is the many people who have taken it up as a lifetime sport. As a passionate golf enthusiast, Ram Chary Everi thinks that many beginners give on it too soon only because they have a tough time perfecting their golf swing. On this blog, he shares some tips on achieving that first flawless swing that hopefully leads to a long-term interest in golf.

1. Keep your feet together
Keeping the feet together obviously lines you up for your shot, especially as this makes you squarely perpendicular to the direction you want the ball to go. However, the more sensible purpose for keeping your feet together is for you to achieve balance as you take your swing, reminds Ram Chary Everi. Keeping the feet together also ensures that your body weight is distributed equally on both sides.

2. Do swoosh drills
A swoosh drill is a way to correctly identify the direction in which the speed of your swing is headed. To achieve this, do some dry swinging by holding the club upside down and grip it just below the clubhead. This allows for a more audible “swoosh.” You might find out here that the mistake in your swing is that the swoosh sound happens in mid-swing. Proper swinging requires that you hear this towards the end of your swing. Ram Chary Everi suggests doing plenty of repetitions until it becomes a habit.

3. Try the 80% wedge swing
There’s a popular swinging exercise in golf that challenges you to hit a series of balls with a wedge by using about 80% of your normal power. Try experimenting by moving up a club or two, and repeat the process. The key is to limit your power to no more than 80%. The point in this exercise is for you to achieve balance and rhythm, and you will see that your shots fly farther even if this is an easier swing.

Ram Chary Everi took on various leadership positions in different companies. In the span of his career, he served as a CEO, president, executive vice president, director, and consultant. Outside of his professional endeavors, he enjoys hiking and playing golf. Click here to know more about what he does.

Young Golf Players To Watch Out For

There are tons of pro golfers under the age of 30 in this year’s PGA tour, and some of them have made great strides in 2017. Here’s a list of young but key movers in today’s professional golf.

Jordan Spieth

The current darling of the golf scene, Spieth would have continued his stellar performance, and top rank in 2017 had it not been for a bogey on the 15th hole of the Fed Ex Cup. The 24-year-old, three-time major winner is a major force in the PGA, and looks to continue his dominance in the next decade.

Rory McIlroy 

By 2014, McIlroy was the top young prospect of golf, having ranked first in the world and won two major championships by eight strokes each. It was a feat comparable to that of Tiger Woods. He has since slowed down a little but is currently sitting in 6th place in the rankings.

Ricky Fowler

Before joining the pros, Fowler was the number one ranked amateur golfer in the world for 37 weeks in 2007 and 2008. By 2016, he has climbed up to 4th on the official World Golf Ranking. There’s no mistaking the hype surrounding the 28-year-old Californian, and he should be solid competition for others on this list in the coming years.

Hideki Matsuyama

Matsuyama is a five-time PGA Tour winner who managed to become the world No. 2-ranked player just this past June, after a runner-up finish at the 2017 U.S. Open. The 25-year-old Japanese is currently ranked 3rd globally.

Justin Thomas

Twenty-four-year-old Justin Thomas just hoisted both the PGA Championship and FedEx Cup championship trophies. He is currently ranked 4th on the official World Golf Ranking. 2017 has been a breakout year for the American.
